We usually consider our beat friends those who treat us best fcome persons think coffee a real friend, but watch it carefully awhile and observe that it la one of the meanest of all enemies for It stabs one while professing friendship. Coffee contains a imisonons drug caffeine which injures the delicate nervous system and frequently sets tip disease In one or more organa of tbe body, if its use is persisted in. I had heart palpitation and nervousness for four years and the doctor told me the trouble was caused by coffee. He advised me to leave It off, but I thought I could not, writes a WIs. lady. On the advice of a friend I tried Postum Food Coffee and it so satisfied me that I did not care for coffee after a few days' trial of Postum. As weeks went by and I continued to use Postum ray weight Increased from 98 to 1 18 pounds, and the heart trouble left me. I have used It a year now, and am stronger than I ever was. I can hustle up stairs without any heart palpitation, and I am cured of nervousness. My children are very fond of Post-uand it agrees with them. My sister liked it when she drank it at my house, hut not when she made It at her own home. Now she has learned to make it right, boll it according to directions, and haa become very fond of it.
