Evans, editor of the "How to Keep Well" column of the Chicago Tribune, says: "In order that no misunderstanding may arise, I should say that physiologists regard Coifee, Tea, Tobacco and Whiskey as drugs in the same sense as Opium and Cocaine are. From coffee at one end of the line to cocaine at the other, no pot has the right to call the kettle black." The average cup of coffee contains about grains of caffeine, a habit-form ing drug—not enough in one cup to seriously harm. But, when used regularly, it is for many the cause of sleeplessness, nervousness, heart trouble, mental and physical fatigue, and a host of other complaints. POSTUM on the other hand, is a pure food-drink made of roasted wheat and a little mo lasses. It tastes much like coffee, but contains no caffeine nor other injurious drug. Postum comes in two forms: The original Postum Cereal, which must be boiled; 15c and 25c packages; and Instant Postum, a solubje form that produces the beverage instantly —a level teaspoonful to a cup of hot water; 30c and 50c tins. Both forms are equally delicious, and the cost is about the same—one half cent per cup. Even a ten-day trial will place the average person far enough away from coffee trouble to prove "There's a Reason" For POSTUM Sold by Grocers everywhere.
