When a woman is brought to the edge of the grave by poisoning from the drinking of ordinary coffee day by day, and 'is then made a well Io nian by leaving-It off, her. experience is worth something to others that are poisoned in various ways from the same habit. A New Haven, Conn., woman says "Four years ago my life hung on a very slender thread with liver, kid ney and heart trouble, and a very severe form' of rheumatism. I was confined to bed with hands, wrists, feet and ankles so badly swollen that they bore no resemblance to parts of the human body. "I had frequent sinking spells from heart weakness when I was thought to be dying and sometimes thought to be dead. My doctor, one of the directors of the state hospi taU a very successful man in his pro fession, told me to stop drinking cof fee and use Postum, as he aid cof fee was the primary cause of my trouble. "I took his advice at once and also discontinued medicines. Slowly the swelling disappeared, and the -taeumatlsm left me; the Elnking shells became less frequent and I got out of bed and around the house. I was completely-cured but it requir ed some time. "For the past three years I have been a perfectly strong, healthy wo man, sleep well, with good appetite, good color, active and energetic. "It is a great pleasure to testify for Postum which lias made me a weU woman again. I - have many friends here and in other parts of the state who are using Postum reg ularly and I know to their very great benefit." Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville" In packages.
