People otteh attribute their il! health to some indiscretion in eating, and change diet in the hope of recovering tiieir good health: finding no change for the better in their condition, they are at for the'cause, never for a moment thinking that the cup of coffee which they take in the morning the true source from whence all'their ills have come. A lady in Philadelphia had her attention called to the pernicious working of foffee on the system by reading a little V'ook on "How to Live." She "it was truly an eye-opener to me. All the many symptoms of the nervous stage under which I had been laboring long, were here directly traceable to coffee drinking. Especially was it shown to be responsible for the complete 'breakdown' of my nervous system, tvhieh I had ascribed" to many different causes, and which had become so great that mv hands shook like that of a whenever I carried things to my rurvuth or reached out to grasp anything. I found myself subject to fre- spells of despondency and gloom, a feeling of emptiness, with constant vour crucations.

Now. like every slave to an Inordinate appetite. I was loath to believe that my favorite morning and mid-day beverage was the true cause of all this nervous wretchedness. Having noticed the advertisements of Piftum Food Coffee, I determined to test tt. and purchased a package and bail some prepared carefully as dlrect- I enjoyed my first cup immensely, and Posttim has been my favorite drink ever since, and that is a year and a half ago.

I had barely used it a week when I realized a seneral of system. my appetite improved: next.
