The “spofled” child usually makes a weak, sickly man or woman be- cause such a youngster has its own way about diet and eats and drinks things that are unfitted for any stomach, and sickness results. “I was always a delicate, spoiled child and my parents used to let me drink coffee because I would cry for it,” says a Georgia young woman. “When I entered school my nerv- ousness Increased and my parents thought it was due to my going to school, so they took me out again. But I did not get any better and my headaches got worse and weakened me so that I was unfit for any duty. Sometimes I would go a whole day without any other nourishment than a cup of coffee. “Last spring I had a bad attack of the grippe, and when I recovered I found that coffee nauseated me so I could not drink it, and even a few swallows would cause a_ terrible burning in my stomach. It was at this time that a friend who had been much benefited by the use of Postum suggested that I try this food drink, I found it simply delicious and have used it ever since, and the results speak for themselves. I have gained twelve pounds and my nerves are as steady as any one's, “I consider myself well and strong and I make it a point now to take a cup of Postum with a cracker or two as soon as I come home from school {nthe afternoon. Postum with crack- ers or a biscuit makes my luncheon, it certainly saved my life, for I know coffee would have killed me in time had I continued drinking it. “I have a young girl friend, o stenographer, who declares nothing the famous strengthens and refreshes her like Postum, and she has a little of] stove in her office and makes a cup of Pos- tum at nooptime. I have recom- mended this. wonderful beverage to many of my friends who know what ft has done for me.” Name given by Fost Go, Battle reeks Mek, Look in each package for a copy of *Tho Road.
