A HIT
What She Gained by Trying Again
A failure at first makes us esteem
final success
A family In Minnesota that now en-
joys Postum would never have known
how good It Is If the mother had been
discouraged by 'the failure of her
first attempt to prepare It Her son
tells the story:
"We bad never used Postum till last
spring when father brought home a
package one evening Just to try it We
had heard from our neighbors and in
fact every one who used it how well
they liked it
“Well the next morning Mother
brewed it about five minutes just as
she had been in the habit of doing
with coffee without paying special at-
tention to the directions printed on
the package It looked weak and
didn’t have a very promising color but
nevertheless father raised- his cup
with an air of exceptancy It certain-
ly did give him a great surprise but
I’m afraid It wasn’t a very pleasant
one for he put down his cup with a
look of disgust
Mother wasn’t discouraged though
and next morning gave It another trial
letting it stand on the stove till boil-
ing began and then letting it boll for
fifteen or twenty minutes and this
time we were all so pleased with it
that we have used ityever since
“Father was a confirmed dyspeptio
and a cup of coffee was to him like poi-
son So he never drinks it any more
but drinks Postum regularly He isn’t
troubled with dyspepsia now and is
actually growing fat and I'm sure
Postum U the cause of it All the chil-
dren are allowed to drink it and they
are perfect pictures of health” Name
