THEY GROW Good Humor and Cheerfulness from Itlght Food. Cheerfulness In like sunlight. It dispels the clouds from the inlaid as sunlight chases nwuy the shadows of night. The good humored man can pick up and carry off a load that the man with a grouch wouldn't attempt to lift. Anything that Interferes with good health is apt to knep cheerfulness and good humor in the background. A Washington lady found that letting coffee alone made things bright for her. She writes "Four years ago 1 was practically givon up !>> my doctor and was not c^pocted to live long My nervous system was in a had condition '"But I was young and did not want to die. so I began to look about for the cause of my chronic trouble. 1 used to have nervous spells which would exhaust me and after each spell it would take me <1a>s hefore I could sit up In a chair. "I became convinced my trouble was causefi by coffee. I decided to stop It and bought some Postum. "The first cup, which I made ac cording to directions, had a soothing _ offeet on my nerves and I liked the tasto. For a time I nearly lived on Postum and ate little food besides I am to-day a healthy woman.

Rheumatism V Awake 1 VMs Until Cured By Minanl's Liiwt Minard's Liniment Mfg. Co. Dear Sirs, ? Your Minard'g Liniment received and was used to good advantage, and I wish I had used it sooner, as it would have saved rnc lots of pain and also lots of money. With the first application U was able to lay out straight in bod ? what I had not done in syen weeks- ? as I had been forced to sit on the side of the bed my feet resting on the floor. Have used three bottles of your liniment, and it has loosened the cords so that I can sleep nights. 1 was able to go to work this week and the rheumatism has not bothered me any. only on damp days in the mornings, but will soon work that off. Am a long shoreman, loading and unloading foreign ships, and have recom mended Minard's Liniment to several of my fellow-workmen that have the same trouble with stiff joints. The other liniments I used did not seem to lain: the stillness cut of the cords. Yours truly, C. ROWLAND 19 Bunker Hill St., Charlestown, Mass. A special ^o.-tle sent tree on request.
