The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1896-11-13
Battle Creek, Mich, Nov. 7th, 1896.

Personally appeared before me, No
tary Public in and for Calhoun county,
Michigan, G. w. Post, Chairman of the
Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, who makes affi-
davit that the above report of the receipts
in the Woman's Presidential vote, is &C
curate and correct to the best of his
knowledge and belief.
James Boughton. Notary Public.
The company who have paid out con-
siderable sum of money to conduct this
Woman's Presidential vote, have con-
Quoted the matter in the best shape they
were capable of, and that part of the
work is presented to the ladies and to
the politicians and public at large, with
the knowledge that it has afforded con
siderable interest to all parties in this
intensely interesting campaign. No pre-
JUDGE of any kind has been allowed to
creep into the work. 1t has naturally
brought the Postum Cereal Food Coffee
Co into prominence, and this might be
looked upon by some people as some
thing of an advertisement for them. A
great many letters have been received,
irquiring about the Postum Food Coffee,
and possibly it would not be amiss to
make public explanation in this column
Inquiry developed the fact that about
one person in every three, has some form
of disorder, caused by coffee drinking.
They are slow to admit the reason, but
find that their trouble leaves them when
coffee is left out Of their diet. 1t makes
little matter about the theories, although
it is known to physicians and chemists
that certain alkaloids exist in coffee in
small quantities, the same as found in
morphine, whiskey, strychnine and to-
bacco. The proof is plain enough, that
for some reason, coffee is direct poison
to very many people. A warm nourish-
ing, palatable beverage is wanted at
breakfast and perhaps at the other meals.
The chocolate, cocoa, etc., fails to fill the
want in many cases. After some hun
dreds of experiments, extending over a
period of about twelve months, the Post
nm Food coffee was finally discovered. 1t
is strictly pure product of the cereals
(grains) alone. No coffee, chicory or
other ingredients of any sort are con-
tanned in it. The color when brewed,
is the deep seal brown of Mocha which
changes to rich golden brown when
cream is added, and the taste is almost
identical with the milder and more ex-
pensive grades of Java.
About 20 per cent. of Postum Food
Coffee is made from the part of the wheat
berry that contains the gluten and phos-
pilates. 1t is well-known that brain
workers exhaust the phosphates rapidly.
1t will well repay any individual who
has any form of physical disorder, to try
for ten days or two weeks leaving off the
common coffee entirely and using Post
um. A strong healthful nervous system
will eliminate almost any form of disease,
and by leaving off coffee, one gets rid of
the active cause Of nervous prostitution,
and by taking on Postum Cereal Food
Coffee, one directly builds in the phos-
pilates and the needed elements to re-
construct the gray matter in the nerve
centers throughout the body.
Samp'es of Postum can be had by mail
free upon application at the home office
at Battle Greek, Michigan. Fancy gro
GERS throughout the United States can
furnish it.
The demand for Postum has been
enormous, and has attracted the atten.
ton of many imitators. There is but one
original and palatable Cereal Food COT
fee, as can easily be determined by test.
The red seals, containing the words at
Makes Red Blood and the registered
trade mark of Postum Cereal on the
package viii protect the buyer.
