Any brain worker who depends on thought for his success in life, uses up daily, by brain work, a varying amount of the delicate particles of potash and albumen, of which the brain and nerve centers are composed. This breaking down of the little cells each day, from brain work, is a natural process, and the cells can readily be rebuilt from the right sort of food, if the system is not interfered with by drugs. If brain fag or nervous prostration sets in, the evidence is lain that nature is not rebuilding as fast as work is tearing down. There is some reason, hat is it? _ Look first to the coffee cup, for coffee is known to interfere with and prevent the proper nourishment of the nerves in highly organized people. Frequently the trouble first shows in dyspepsia, lack of power of the bowels to operate properly or palpitation of the heart or some other lack of vitality aud healthy Then comes brain fag and that tremendous collapse called nervous prostration, There is but one thing for a sensible man or woman to do,—quit coffee absolutely. ‘* Hard to do," you say. Take up Postum Food Coffee, use it regularly, have it well made, so it tastes good. You will find a well-defined, unmistakable change in your health, and there is a reason for it, You will have become free from the breaking down force of coffee, and, on the other hand, yes will be taking a powerful, nourishing liquid food which quickly rebuilds the new cells. These are facts,— profound facts, ready for any one to prove to their own satisfactidh by actual use. Postum Food Coffee is made at the famous pure food factories of the Postum Cereal Co,, Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich., and is used by brain workers all over the world. Don't call ita ‘substitute” for coffec; leavo out the coffee proposition altogether.
