Our common sense tells us that the daily swallowing of caffeine” (the alkaloid in tea and coffee), “powerfully affecting heart and brain— is followed by nervous depression, and finally by more or less disastrous results. “I believe if people in general would use a harm- less, nutritious drink like Postum as a beverage in placd"of ¥ed'' ali coffee, their physical and mental condition would be much improved.” Thousands, troubled with nervousness, bilious- ness, sleeplessness, headache and heart flutter, have done precisely what this physician advises—given up tea and coffee and adopted— POSTUM with happy results. “There’s a Reason’’ Postum is a pure food-drink, made from wheat and a bit of molasses, containing the nutrition of the grain. No caffeine—no drugs—no harmful ingre- dient in Postum. A delicious, nourishing beverage. Postum comes in two forms. Regular Postum—must be boiled, 15c and 25¢ Packages.
