I IN thousands of homes where one or more of the family are nervous and irritable, the cause may be hidden—hard to understand. But usually, “There’s a Reason.” Doctors and dietitians are very generally agreed that people who are nervous or suffer with digestive disturbances should not drink coffee or tea because these beverages contain a drug, caffeine, and their use tends to increase nervous irritability. Many of us just drift into wrong habits of eating and drinking, though we usually know better. So if there are nervous ones in your family, suppose you make a change—serve Postum for thirty days. Po6tum is a pure cereal beverage. It furnishes all the pleasure of a hot drink—cheery warmth and good flavor. Postum is refreshing, satisfy ing, healthful; and there's nothing in all the world quite so effective as health to overcome nervousness and make life worth while.
