CLEAR HEADED. Head Bookkeeper Must he Reliable. Tho chief bookkeeper in a large business house in one of our great Western cities speaks of the harm coffee did for him. (Tea is just as injurious because it contains c.af- ft-iiie, tho same drug found in cof- fee.) "My wife and I drank our first cup o"f IVistum a little over two years ago and wo have used it ever since, to tho entire exclusion of tea and coffee. It happened in this way : "About three and a half years ago 1 had an attack of pneumonia, which left a memento in the shape of dyspepsia, or rather, to speak more correctly, neuralgia of tho stomach. My 'cup of cheer' had always been coffee or tea, but I be- came- convinced, after a time, that they aggravated my stomach trouble. I happened to mention tho matter to my grocer one day and he. suggested that 1 give Tos- tuiu a trial. "Next day it came, but the cook made the mistake of not boilins it Hufliciently, and wo did. not like it much. This was, however, soon remedied, and now we like it so much that we will never change, buck. IVistuni, being a food bever- age instead of a drug, has been the means of banishing my stomach tumble, I verily believe, for I am a well man to-day and have used no medicine. "'My work as chief bookkeeper in our Co. 'a branch house here is of a very cuni'ining nature. During- my coffee-drinking days 1 wuJi sub- ject to nervousness and 'the blues.' Those have left mo since I began using I'osUini, and I. can consci- entiously repoinm'-'iid it to thofto whoso work confines them Ui long hours of severe mental exertion."
