Many babies have been launched into life with constitutions weakened by disease taken in with their mother's milk. Mothers cannot be too careful as to the food they use while nursing their babes. The experience of a Kan sas City mother is a case in point: "I was n great coffee drinker from a child. and thought I could not eat a meal without it. But I found at last it was (loins: me harm. For years I had been troubled with dizziness, enots before my eyes and pain in my heart, to which was added, two years j ago, a chronic sour stomach. The baby was born seven months ago, and ! almost from the beginning it, too, suf fered from sour stomach. She was taking it from me! ? "In my distress I consulted a friend of more experience than mine, and she told me to quit coffee, that coffee did not make good milk; I have since as certained that it really dries up the milk. "So I quit coffee, and tried tea ane nt last cocoa. But they did not agree with me. Then I turned to Postum Coffee with the happiest results. It proved to be the very thing I needed. It not only agreed perfectly with baby and myself, but it increased the flow of my milk. My husband then quit coffee and used Postum, quickly got well of the dyspepsia with which he had been troubled. I no longer suffer from the dizziness, blind spells, pain In my heart or sour stomach. Postum has cured them. "Now we all drink Postum from my husband to my seven months' old baby. It has proved to be the best hot drink we have ever used. We would not give up Postum for the best coffee we ever drank." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Get the little book "The Road to Wellvllle" in each pkg.
