Specialist: It disappoints some people to be told that coffee causes the disease. But it 1s best to look squarely at the facts and set the face toward health. for that’s more fun thap anything else anyhow, A Cincinnati man con- sulted a Berlin physician on nervous diseases and says: ‘Four years ago ' was an habitual coffee drinker, having used it for 2 years, and being naturally of a ner- vous temperament I became almost a nervous wreck, greatly suffering from insomnia, almost constantly consti- pated and weighing only 128 pounds, “I consulted physicians and took medicine all the time, but had no re-} lief. About three years and a half ago I went abroad, and while in Ber- lin heard frequently of a great physi- clan, Prof. Mendel, an authority on nervous trouble, so I resolved to con- Prof. Mendel surprised me very much by asking at once if I was a coffee drinker, and on my telling him I used it two or three times a day he said: ‘It is poison.’ After carefully examining me he told me there was nothing the matter with me whatever but what could be entirely cured in 80 days by letting coffee and other stimulants alone and dieting. “I had a hard time following his advice. I did not know what to do until I came home and told my wife, who got some Postum. We tried it, but at first did ngt like it; then we went over the directions on the pack- age together and found we had not boiled it long enough. That was the beginning of the end of my trouble, for the Postum was delicious after that, and I drank it regularly and it helped from the start. “In a very short time I began to} feel much better, and fn the last three years I haven't been absent from business one hour on account of | {ll-health, tor my health {s fine now. T have @ good appetite, sleep well and weigh 175 pounds.” Name given by Postum Co,, Battle Creek, Mich. Any nervous person who drinks coffee will feel better from 10 days’ use of Postum in place of coffee. ‘Trial easily proves this. There's a WaAO the famous little book, “The Ro: to } reason.
