IN A SHADOW. Inveterate Tea Drinker Feared Paralysis.

Steady use of either tea or coffee often produces alarming symptoms as the poison (caffeine) contained in these beverages acts with\ more potency in some persons than in others. “1 was never a coffee drinker,” writes an 111. woman, "but a tea drinker. I was very nervous, had frequent spells of sick headache and heart trouble, and waß subject at times to severe attacks of bilious colic. “No end of sleepless nights—would have spells at night when my right side would get numb and tingle like a thousand needles were pricking my flesh. At times I jcould hardly put my tongue out of my mouth and my right eye and ear were affected. • “The doctors told me I was liable to become paralyzed at any time, so I was in constant dread. I took no end of medicine —all to no good. “The doctors told me to quit using tea, but I thought I could not live without it—that it was my only stay. I had been a tea drinker for twentyfive years; was under the doctor's care for fifteen. “About six months ago, I finally quit td’a and commenced to drink Postum. “I have never had one spell of sick headache since and only one light attack of bilious colio. Have quit having those numb spells at night, sleep well and my heart Is getting stronger all the time." Name given upon request Postum now comes in concentrated, powder form, called Instant Postum. It is prepared by stirring a level teaspoonful in a cup of hot water, adding sugar to taste, and enough cream to bring the color to golden brown. Instant Postum is convenient! there’s no waste; and the flavor Is always uniform. Sold by grocers every where. A fr-cup trial tin mailed for grocer's name and 2-cent stamp for postage.
