Lack of Money a Godsend in This Case
A Green Forest Arkansas woman credits health to not paying a specialist upfront for stomach trouble. After four doctors and a claim of neuralgia or catarrh, she quit coffee, started Postum, and reports better sleep, vanished pain, and renewed strength. She notes coffee caused headaches and nervousness, and she did not miss coffee after switching. The letter, circulated as a genuine testimonial, recurs periodically.
