Replacing Coffee?
People are waking up to the harmful effects of the powerful dniff caffeine
in coffee,' .which poisons the system, often resulting in nervousness, heart flutter,
headache, biliousness and many other ills and discomforts.
The pure food- drink, Postum, is absolutely drug-free made only of the choic
est wheat and a bit of wholesome molasses. It contains no caffeine or other harm
ful elements.
If you tloubt that coffee hurts you, a sure test is to leave- it off for 10 days and
use Postum. It's an easy change, too, for Postum tastes much like the mild, high
grade .Tavas. As the coffee-drug is eliminated from your system, your own feel
ings will suggost Postum and better health.
.
Postum comes in two forms: Regular Postum must be boiled, 15c and 25c
packages; Instant Postum soluble form, made in the cup with hot water Inatantly,
30c and 50e tins. . -
Both kinds 'are equally delicious, and the cost per cup is about the same.
