It is sometimes interesting to watch the curves imitators make to get the public to buy imitations of genuine goods. Every now and then some one will think there is a splendid opening to fix up something like Postum Coffee and advertise the same way and take some of the business. An imitator is naturally ignorant of food values and how to skillfully make a cereal coffee, on scientific lines. Such men first think of preparing something that, looks and tastes like the original, with no knowledge of how the grains should be treated to prepare them so that the starchy part Is transformed properly and the valuable nourishing elements made digestible. Such imitations may be foisted on the public for a short time, but the people are critical and soon detect the attempt, then the imitators go out of business.

Something like 400 of these little factories have been started in various parts of this country in the past 9 years, and practically all of them have gone the "long journey." Just lately a new one has come to life and evidently hopes to insert itself In public favor by copying the style of the Postum advertising in the papers. This is a free country and every man who makes an honest product and honestly labels it has reason for some recognition, but the public has the right to know the facts.

"In the spring of 1896 my wife was taken with violent vomiting which wo-had great difficulty in stopping. "It seemed to come from coffee-drinking but we could not decide.

"In the following July, however, she was attacked a second time by the vomiting. I was away from home filling an appointment, at the time, and on my return I found her very low; she had literally vomited herself almost to death, and it took some day to quiet the trouble and restore her stomach. "I had also experienced the same-trouble, but not so violently, and had relieved it, each time, by a resort tc-medicine. "But my wife's second attack satisfied me that the use of coffee was at the bottom of our troubles, and so we-stopped it forthwith and took oe Postum Food Coffee. The old symptoms of disease disappeared and during the 9 years that we have been, using Postum instead of coffee we-have never had a recurrence of the-vomiting.

We never weary of Postum, to which we know we owe our v-health. Thi3 is a simple statement of facts." Name given by Postum. Company, Battle Creek, Mich.
