"Wfi wife and myself had an experience quite unique and thereby hangs a tale.

My wife for years past, and myself as well, had been annoyed, pained and worried so greatly at times by dyspeptic trouble as to take much of the joy of living out of life. had seen Postum so liberally spoken of and we suffered so much from coffee that one day, some months ago, I decided to try some Postum for ourselves We liked its aroma and taste, so we were satisfied from the start and Ave quit coffee. "Gradually my digestive organs have grown healthier and stronger, my sick headache left and we both could eat almost what we pleased without discomfort. 'But was this a result of the discontinuance of tea and coffee? "The flood came and found us out of Postum and shut off from all supplies in the village for 8 days. But we got hold of some left-over tea and a little coffee and this we used as long as it lasted.

This was the only respect in which our meals were different from what we- had been u.ing, but a change came over rs. My wife thought I had more temper than grace, while in my turn, thought well, never mind, only she did not seem to appear to be the jolly creature she was before flood days. She said she did not rert well and that made her irritable and on my part I- suffered pains in my digestive organs night and day that would have caused the meekest man 'to speak unad- vUedly with his "Well, the clouds cleared away, the flood abated, dry land appeared and we" made ready to visit the grocery store and iuy wife suggested that we needed more Postum. To tell the rest in a few words, when Postum came back the domestic atmosphere became more genial, in fact, about normal. Our troubles and sick feelings disappeared and there can be no doubt they were due to tea and coffee, fcr they quickly yielded when Postum was used in their place."
