FOUND ON THE SKIN
Phosphate Direct from the Brain.

We know that active brain work
throws out the phosphate of potash,
for this product is found on the skin
after excessive brain work, therefore
brain workers, in order to keep well,
must have proper food containing
phosphate of potash to quickly and
surely rebuild the used-up tissue.
That one can obtain such food has
been proven in thousands of cases
among users of Postum Cereal Food
Coffee and Grape-Nuts.
Both contain phosphate of potash
in minute particles, Just as it is fur
nished by nature in the grains.
This product makes from albumen
the gray matter that builds the brain
and fills the nerve centers.
In no way can this gray matter he
made except by the action of phos-
phate of potash upon albumen, and
this mineral should be introduced to
the body Just as it comes from ma
ture's laboratory. and not from the
drug store. The system is more or less
fastidious about taking up the needed
elements. and, as might be suspected,
it will favor the products of Mother
Nature rather than the products of
the drug shop, however valuable they
may be for certain uses.
Athletes, lawyers. journalists, doc
tors, ministers. business men and
others, who earn their living by the
use of the brain, are using both Pos
tum Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts
Food. Both products are manufact-
ured for reason. They were orig
mated by an expert, and the regen-
erative value of both the Postum Cot
fee and the food has been demon
strated beyond question. All first
class grocers sell both Postum Cereal
and Grape-Nuts, and the Postum &C.
real Co, Ltd manufactures them at
the Battle Greek factories.
