FAILING EYESIGHT 



Caused by Improper Food. 



Writers who live sedentary lives and who use coffee are apt to be 

 troubled by faulty vision, which they usually attribute to overwork. 

 That they are sometimes mistaken is proved by the following statement 

 from an old newspaper man : 



"For nearly 40 years I have earned my living with the pen. A few 

 years ago I began to suffer from occasional ' blind spells.' My vision fre- 

 quently became obscured by what may be called kaleidoscopic blurs, in 

 which constantly changing figures like wheels, stars, etc., floated before 

 my eyes, making it impossible for me to work while they lasted. They 

 were usually followed by dull, heavy headaches. 



" My physicans, two of them, advised me that my eyes had become 

 weakened by overwork. I consulted an oculist, but he could not dis- 

 cover the cause of the trouble. I bought stronger glasses but they did 

 not help me. 



"Last summer, while living temporarily in a boarding house, I found 

 the very weak coffee a thing to complain of, till suddenly I discovered 

 that my * blind spells ' were becoming less frequent. I then satisfied my- 

 self by experiments that it was coffee that was deranging my optic 

 nerves. 



" A friend advised me to try Postum coffee, and although I had no 

 faith in it, I began to use it. In three days' time the ' blind spells ' com- 

 pletely ceased. Going back to the old coffee the ' blind spells ' returned. 

 I am entirely satisfied that coffee was the cause of the ailment, and that 

 Postum was its cure." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. 



There's a reason. Coffee is a narcotic that breaks down the cells in 

 the nerve centres and unless nature succeeds in repairing the damage 

 each day, disease and distress follows in some one or more organs. It 

 may be eyes in one, stomach and bowels in another, heart or kidneys in 

 another and yet each effected from the same cause, coffee. The sure way 

 to certainly know is to quit coffee 10 days and use Postum. If the disease 

 begins to disappear you have the key to your puzzle.
