A FELLOW FEELING.

Why She Felt Lenient Toward* the Drunkard. A great deal depends on the point of view. A good temperance woman was led, In a very peculiar way, to revise her somewhat harsh judgment of the poor devil who cannot resist his cups and she is now more charitable. She writes: “For many years I was a great sufferer from asthma. Finally my health got so poor that I found I could not lie down, but walked the floor whilst others slept. I got so nervous I could not rest anywhere. “Specialists told me I must give up the use of coffee—the main thing that I always thought gave me some relief. I consulted our family physician, and be, being a coffee fiend himself, told me to pay no attention to their advice. Coffee bad such a charm for me that in a restaurant and getting a whiff of the fragrance I could not resist a cup. I felt very lenient towards the drunkard who could no<t pass the saloon. Friends often urged me to try Postuni, but I turned a deaf ear, saying ‘That ' may do for people to whom coffee is harmful, but not for me—coffee and 1 will never part.’ “At last, however, I bought a package of Postuin, although I was sure I could not drink it. 1 prepared it as directed, and served It for breakfast/ | Well, bitter as I was against it, I must •ay that never before had I tasted a more delicious cup of coffee! From that day to this (more than 2 years) I have never had a desire for the old coffee. My health soon returned; the asthma disappeared, I began to sleep well and In a short time I gained 20 pounds in weight. j “One day I handed my physician the tablets he had prescribed for me, telling him I bad no use for them. He stayed for dinner. When I passed him his coffee cup lie remarked ‘I am glad to see you were sensible enough not to let yourself be persuaded that coffee was harmful. Tills is the best cup of coffee I ever drank,’ he continued; ‘the trouble Is so few people know how to make good coffee.’ When be got bis second cup I told him he was drinking Postuin. He wah incredulous, but I convinced him, and now he uses nothing but Postum In his home and has greatly Improved in health" Name given by Pdstum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
