BOTH JAWS SHOT AWAY.

Btlll a Sncceasful Busines* Maa. A man who had both jaws shot away had trouble eating ordinary food, but found a food-drink that supplies the nutriment needed. He says: “I have been an invalid since the siege of Vicksburg, in 1860, where I was wounded by a Mlnle ball passing through my head and causing the entire loss of my jaws. I was a drummer boy, and 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 tho 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 I trlpd common coffee again and got worsi. I did this several times, and finally as Postum helped me every time I continued to use it, and how often I think that if the Government has Issued Postum to us In the Army how much better it would have beeu for the sollder boys 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 There Is no doubt coffee ls«tob much of a stimulant for most people and Is the cause of nearly all the constipation. “This Is my experience and you are at liberty to use my name."
