Cold Water Drinker Finds a Relief in Postum Coffee. Our American people, who are and overstrained, would never drink coffee if they know how well and clear-headed they would be without it. "When I was a little child," says Miss M. D'Alt of Topeka, Kan. "I commenced the drinking of coffee.

Natu-I rally nervous, it made me as the years went on a most miserable wretch. al ways in an unnatural state of excitement. I found, as I grew older, that I would at times stagger as a drunken person. It was coffee, for I had no desire to drink anything in liquors. "My health was very bad and my brother and I were tai-'g of quitting coffee, when I was stricken with typhoid fever.

Upon my recovery, my brother wisely allowed me no coffee, and wild if I wished to be well again I must top Its use. "For 11 number of years cold wuter was iny only drink, but this was poor comfort until about three years ago a package of Postum Food Coffee was nt our house. We prepared It as directed and found a wholesome, delicious drink: more than this has strengthened me without causing those terrible 'after effects' formerly left upon me by coffee. "I recommend Postum to all my friends and In my varied experience I find it a safe drink without effect on the nerves, and the only one which with me has filled a long felt want." Many people who have stopped drinking coffee because of its effect on the nerves will find th rfure food drink, Postum, a beverage that when properly made touches the spot, pleases the eye and palate and fills thg vacancy as no other drink can.
