Battle Creek. Mich. Nov 1th. 1896.
Personally appeared before me. Notary
Public In and for Calhoun County. Michigan,
c. w. Post, Chairman OF the Postum Cereal
Co. Ltd. who makes affidavit that the above
report OF the receipts In the Womens Presi-
Dental Vote. IL accurate and correct to the
best OF his knowledge and belief.
James Boughton. Notary Public.
The Company. who have paid out consid-
cradle sum OF money to conduct this Womens
Presidential Vote. have conducted the matter
In the best shape they were capable OF, ana
that part OF the work Is presented to the
ladies' and to the politicians and public at
large. with the knowledge that II has afforded
considerable interest 10 all parties In this IN
tensely interesting campaign. No prejudice
OF any kind has been allowed To creep into
the work. II has naturally brought the Pos
tum Cereal Food Coffee Co. into prominence,
and this might be looked upon by some peo-
pie as something OF an advertisement Tor
them. a great many letters have been re-
ceived. inquiring about the Postum Food
Coffee and possibly II 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 dis
order, caused by coffee drinking. They are
slow to admit the reason. but find that their
trouble leaves them when coffee Is left out or
their diet. Ii makes little matter about the
theories. although IL Is known TO physicians
and chemists that certain alkalods exist In
coffee I'm small quantities.. the same az found
in morphine. whiskfy. strychnlne and to-
baccO. The PROOF IN pain enough tnat TOT
some reason. coffee Is direct poison to very
many people. a warm nourlshng palatabe
beverage Is wanted at breakfast and perhaps
at the other meals. The chocolate. cocoa,
etc, fail to fill the want In many cases.
After some hundreds OF experiments, extend
Ing over a period Of about twelve months the
Postum Food Coffee was finally discovered.
1t is a strictly pure product OF the cereals
(grains) alone. No coffee. chicory or other In
gradients Of any sort..are contained In 1t.
The color when brewed Is the deep seal
brown OF Mocha. which changes to a rich
golden brown when cream Is added, and the
taste Is almost Identical wlthsthe mllder and
more expensive grades OF Java.
About 10 per cent. Of Postum Food Coffee
IL made from the part OF the wheat berry
that contains the gluten and phosphate. 1t
Is well known that brain workers exhaust
the phosphate rapidly.
1t will well repay any individual who has
any form Of physical disorder to try for ten
days or two weeks leaving of the common
coffee entirely and using Postum. A strong,
healthful nervous system will eliminate al
most any form of disease. and by leaving off
coffee one gets rid OF the active cause OF
nervous prostration. and by taking on Postum
Cereal Food Coffee one directly builds In the
phosphates and the needed elements to recon-
struct the gray matter In the nerve centres
throughout the body.
Samples OF Postum can be had by mall free
upon application at the home office at Battle
Creek Michigan. Fancy grocers throughout
the United States can furnish It.
The demand for Postum has been enor-
NOUS and has attracted the attention Of
many imitators. There Is but one original
and palatable Cereal Food Coffee, as can be
easily determined by test. The red seals.
containing the words 1T makes red blood"
and the registered trade mark OF Postum
Cereal on the package. Will protect the buyer.
