I was a drummer boy. aud at the time was leading a skirmish line, carrying a gun, Since that time I have been awarded the medal of honor from the Congress of the United States for gallantry on the field. "The consequences of my wound were dyspepsia in its most aggravated form, and I finally proved ordinary coffee was very hard on my stomach, so I tried Postum and got better. Then 1 tried common coffee agnin and got wore. I did this several times, and. finally, as Postum helped me every time. I coutluu-d to use it, and now otteu I think that if the government had Issued Postum to us in the army, how much better it would have been for the soldier loys than coffee. Coffee constipates me and Postum does not; coffee makes me spit up my food, postum does not; coffee keeps me awake nights. Postum does not. Theie Is no doubt couYe is too much of a stimulant for mot popl?. am! is the cause of nearly all the constipation. "This is my experience, and you are at libertv to use my name."
