"When we were married two years ago, Postum was among our first order of groceries. We also put in some cof- fee and tea for guests, but after both had stood around the pantry about a year untouched, they were thrown away, and Postum used only. "Up to the age of 28 I had been ac- - customed to drink coffee as a routine nab,t and suffered constantly from in-- digestion and all its relative disorders. Since using Postum all the old com- plaints have completely left me and I sometimes wonder if I ever had them.'' Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, .Mich. Read, "The Road to Welltflle," in pkgs.

PANTRY CLEANED

A Way Some People Have.

A doctor said:"Before marriage my wife observed

in summer and country homes, comingin touch with families of varied means,culture, tastes and discriminating ten-dencies, that the families using Pos-tu- m

seemed to average better thanthose using coffee.

"When we were married two yearsago, Postum was among our first orderof groceries. We also put in some cof-

fee and tea for guests, but after bothhad stood around the pantry about ayear untouched, they were thrownaway, and Postum used only.

"Up to the age of 28 I had been ac- -

customed to drink coffee as a routinenab,t and suffered constantly from in--

digestion and all its relative disorders.Since using Postum all the old com-plaints have completely left me and Isometimes wonder if I ever had them.''

Name given by Postum Co., BattleCreek, .Mich. Read, "The Road toWelltflle," in pkgs. "There's a Reason."
