Show THE OLD PLEA He "Didn't Know It Was Loaded." Ny The coffee drinker seldom realizes x. that coffee contains the drug, caffeine, a severe poison to the heart and nerves, causing many forms of disease, dis-ease, noticeably dyspepsia. "I was a lover of coffee and used it for many years, and did not realize the bad effects I was suffering from its use. (Tea is just as injurious as coffee cof-fee because it, too, contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee.) "At first I was troubled with indigestion. indiges-tion. I did not attribute the trouble to the use of coffee, but thought it arose from other causes. With these attacks I had sick headache, nausea and vomiting. Finally my stomach was in such a condition I could scarce ly retain any food. J "I consulted a physician; was told Jf all my troubles came from indiges tion, but was not informed what caused the indgestion. I kept on with the coffee, and kept on with the troubles, trou-bles, too, and my case continued to grow worse from year to year until it developed into chronic diarrhea, nausea nau-sea and severe attacks of vomiting. I could keep nothing on my stomach and became a mere shadow, reduced from 159 to 128 pounds. "A specialist informed me I had a very severe case of catarrh of the etomach, which had got so bad he could do nothing for me, and I became convinced my days were numbered. "Then I chanced to see an article setting set-ting forth the good qualities of Postum ' and explaining how coffee injured peo ple so I concluded to give Postum a trial. I soon saw the good effects my headaches were less frequent, nausea and vomiting only came on at long intervals in-tervals and 1 was soon a changed man, feeling much better. ' "Then I thought I could stand coffee J again, but as soon as I tried it my old troubles returned and I again turned to Postum. Would you believe it, I did this three times before I had sense enough to quit coffee for good and keep on with the Postum. I am now a well man with no more headaches, sick stomach or vomiting, and have already al-ready gained back to 147 pounds." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Battle Creek, Mich.
