Each attack of the drug (and that means each cup of coffee) weakens the organ a little more, and the end Is almost a matter of mathematical demonstration. A lady writes from a Western state: "I am of German descent and it was natural that I should learn at a very early age to drink coffee.

Until I was 23 years old I drank scarcely anything else at my meals. "A few years ago I began to be affected by a steadily increasing nervousness, which eventually developed into a distressing heart trouble that made me very weak and miserable. Then, some three years ago wr.s added asthma in its worst form. My sufferings from thete things can be laetten imagined than described. "During all this time my husband realized more fully than I did that coffee was injurious to me, and made every effort to make me stop.

"Finally it was decided a few months ago, to quit the use of coffee absolutely, and to adopt Postum Food Coffee as our hot table drink. I had but little idea that it would help me, but consented to try it to please my husband. I prepared it very carefully, exactly according to directions, and was delighted with its delicious flavor and refreshing qualities. "Just as soon as the poison from the coffee had time to get out of my system the nutritive properties of the Postum began to build me up, and I am now fully recovered from all my nervousness, heart trouble and asthma. I gladly acknowledge that now, for the first tini' in years, I en joy perfect health, and that I owe it all to Postum." Name given by Postum Battle Creek, Mich.

There's a reason. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville" in pkgs. Postum Food Coffee contains no drugs of any description whatsoever. i Atomlutely Royal Baking Powder is indispensable to finest cookery and to the comfort and convenience of modern housekeeping. Royal Baking Powder makes hot breads, cakes and pastry wholesome, Perfectly leavens withou't fermentation.

Qualities that are peculiar to it alone. ROYAL BASINS POWDER WANTS DUTY" REMOVED. Washington, D. Jan. 31.

He is strictly up to date, and is permanently located in Harrisburg. His offices are the most thoroughly equipped tor special worK of any physician's offices in the State, being furnished with the latest up to date electrical appliances and modern Ray outfit for the scientific treatment and cure of Chronic and Long Standing Diseases. The Ray light is the greatest invention and aid given to the medical world during the past century By means of it a positive diagnosis can be made, while before its discovery diagnosis of disease was very often merely guess work and the treatment experimental.

By the aid of the Ray Dr. Smith is absolutely certain of his diagnosis and he cures diseases that cannot be cured by any other means, hence, there is no possibility of being treated for the wrong complaint. By his mild, original and improved Electrical and Vibratory treatment he cures diseases that huve been pronounced incurable by the old methods. Improvement begins with the first treatment. It has been believed beyond dispute that electricity, when Intelligently applied supplies nerve force and vitality to a debilitated system, and that the Health and Strength gained is of permanent duration.

Some ot the old remedies were good in their day but they have outlived their usefulness. We live in an advanced and progressive asje and have something to offer the afflicted. Mo experimental I he nm S. S. ETTER, 1206 Deny Street Ilotli Tliones.
