David and Goliath. 



A Little Shot Put Old King Coffee Out of Business. 



When medicine fails, they sometimes 

 send sick people away to another climate 

 for their health. Sometimes the climate 

 does it, but more often they stumble on 

 the proper food to take, and then get 

 well. 



A lady in San Diego tells of a friend 

 who left her home each December, for the 

 past two winters, to come to California for 

 her health. She says: — ''Almost all of 

 her time was spent in visiting the doctor 

 and sitting in a big chair and watching 

 the clock to note the time for her next 

 dose of medicine. Nervousness was her 

 principal trouble, and with others of a 

 kindred nature, made life for her a bur- 

 den. 



On the occasion of her last visit, I 

 begged her to give up the use of coffee, and 

 use Postum Coffee. She replied that she 

 could not stop coffee. I said no more at 

 the time, but the next morning at break- 

 fast, I passed her a fragrant, steaming 

 top of Postum, making it as it should be 



made. After that, I had no more trouble, 

 and my friend drank no more coffee. But 

 the most surprising part of the experi- 

 ence was the change that soon came over 

 her. 



We began to notice it within less than 

 a week. In less than a month, her nerv- 

 ousness had left her, and in three months, 

 she was a new woman in face, figure and 

 health. I had not dared to hope for so 

 much benefit, although I had been greatly 

 benefited myself by Postum, but coffee 

 to her system was simply poisonous and I 

 believe this is the case with many others. 



She returned to her home in Decem- 

 ber, and was married within less than two 

 months after. She never fails to give 

 credit to Postum for her health, or thanks 

 to me for teaching her to make it properly, 

 and well she may, for Postum has done 

 for her what travel, doctors and medicine 

 failed to do."
