Then I had an expert from Chicago, but still received no relief; then followed another expert from Chicago who came to our house two times, a month for four months, He gave me up like all the others and told me to take a trip across the ocean, which I did in the year 1899, and came home about as bad as when I started. The doctors told me my stomach lining was full of sores. Then I began to study my own case, and learned of the diet recommended by the Postum Cereal Co. ; so I gave up coffee pork and all greasy foods, and began using Postum Food Coffee. Gradually I got better and better until I am well now as I ever was in my younger days, have no trouble and eat anything fit to eat. “Sometimes away from home [am per- suaded to drink coffee, but I only take a sip of it, for it tastes bitter and disagree- able to me; but the longer I use Postum the better I like it and the better I feel.
