Many a Business Man
who is careful to protect himself in money matters,
is careless about health—his most valuable asset.
For many, coffee drinking silently undermines
health, because each cup contains about grains of
the cumulative, harmful drug, caffeine.
Five to six grains of caffeine will kill a rabbit or
a cat, and repeated daily will cripple a man.
How cripple a man? The caffeine, little by little,
causes hardening of the arteries and premature old
age, showing more in some than in others.
Some of the symptoms of caffeine poisoning are
head-ache, nervousness, biliousness, heart flutter,
sleeplessness at night, and "fag" after coffee's reac
tion in the daytime.
The way to avoid all coffee troubles is to leave
coffee alone and use
Instant Postum
—the pure food-drink
There's no caffeine nor any other harmful sub
stance in Postum. Made from prime wheat, roasted
with a bit of wholesome molasses, it contains all the
goodness of the grains, and is nourishing, economical
and delicious.
There's no "fag" in Postum, and
"There's a Reason"
—sold by Grocers.
