BAD DREAMS
Indicate Improper Diet Usually Due
to Coffee
One of the common symptoms of
coffee poisoning is the bad dreams
that spoil what should be restful
sleep A man who found the reason
says
Formerly I was a slave to coffee I
was like a morphine fiend could not
sleep at night would roll and toss in
my bed and when I did get to sleep
was disturbed by dreams and hobgob
blins would wake up with headaches
and feci bad all day so nervous I
could not attend to business My
writing looked like bird tracks I had
sour belchings from the stomach in
digestion heartburn and palpitation
of the heart constipation irregularity
of the kidneys etc
Indeed I began to feel I had all
the troubles that human fiesh could
suffer but when a friend advised me
to leave off coffee I felt as if he had
insulted me I could not bear the
idea it had such a hold on me and I
refused to believe it the cause
But it turned out that no advice was
ever given at a more needed time for
I finally consented to try Postum and
with the going of coffee and the com
ing of Postum all my troubles have
gone and health has returned I eat
and sleep well now nerves steadied
down and I write a fair hand as you
can see can attend to business again
and rejoice that I am free from the
monster Coffee Name given by
Postum Co Battle Creek Mich
Ten days trial of Postum in place
of coffee will bring sound restful re
freshing sleep Theres a reason
