Moderately cold water should by ap-
piled to arms fist and these briskly rubbed

Then treat the ach, back, legs, and

One is inclined TO feel a hearty, boyish
desire for breakfast and If the healthy
life of body thus begun is desirable TO
maintain, the person could, with profit,
avoid coffee at breakfast and use Postum
Food Coffee and some whole wheat or
oat prepa ra tions.
If chemical resea tch is OF any sort OF
value in making clear the food value OF
various a rticles, it has never done a greater
service to mankind than i'll the analysis
of Coffee and Postum.
The first shows no food value what
but is shown TO contain the same alkaloids
as toba eco, opium, whisky, and to have
similar effect upon the human body as this
famous trio have: ultimately producing in
many ca ses. heartfailure, paralysis, stomach
and liver disease, and other serious COM
plications arising from a daily poisoning
of the nervous system.
True everyone must be allowed the
liberty of taking into his or her individual
body whatever is desired, but 1t is
source OF satisfaction to the thoughtful
man and woman to know just what the
real facts are about any article put
into the human st0ma ch and upon which
one may depend for health.
Coffee may be used by some persons
for years and exert no particular power
over a strong constitution, but if one
will carefully investigate the daily life
of say, twenty-five coffee drinkers, scarce
ly one will be found entirely free from
some physical ache or ill directly trace
able to disarranged nervous system.
People who would rather have solid
days and nights of health, and easy, com
Portable bodies to carry around than
stick to a cup of coffee each morning,
can find a pleasant way by adopting
Postum Food Coffee and having it made
according to the new directions which
makes the way plain to a most delicious,
crisp, and charming coffee, heavy in
nourishment, and entirely free from any
sort of narcotic effect like common
coffee.
MI Curtis. the president of the famous
Ladies' Home Journal Co., says he likes
Postum better than coffee. Many do,
but probably a larger number consider
the flavor Of Postum second to that
of choice coffee. But Postum is delicious
and when its powerful nourishing prop
critics are considered in conjunction with
the piauant flavor, it takes it's place
as fixture on the table Of thoughtful
people.
