When a man keeps good red blood In his veins he hss s sort of pollc squad and Is practically Immune from dlsaasa Pur blood mad from the right food will resist th attacks of dlseaa germs and driv them out or kill them. The first thing that should be looked to, therefore. Is the blood, and prompt action to build up the red corpuacles by food. A lawyer In a western town tells how he drove Brlght's disease out of his system by supplying good red blood by food: "For several years I had been i af flicted with kidney trouble," he says, "which sometimes incapacitated me for Araalneas. My condition became such a to cause great fears that Brlght's Dis ease was about , to faatan Itself upon ma ..... "I had always been very fond of cof fee. When, however, the kidney symp toms became so alarming. I quit th coffee, and began to use Postum Food Coffee. - I soon became s fond of the new beverag as I had been of th old coffee, and, what Is more Important my health Improved rapidly and steadily until In a short time, th kidney troubles had almost entirely dlaap peared.
