LOOK IT UP.
Perhaps Coffee Il the Cause of Your
Trouble.

Trouble.
Eating or drinking the wrong kind Of
food or beverage will set up disease If
persisted in. That Is particularly true of
the more starchy foods and coffee. The
trouble may show in a variety Of differ
ent ways.
1t Is safe to say that If one is aiIing in
any part OF the body reached by the
nervous system, it would be OF advantage
10 such an one TO exchange coffee for
Postum Food Coffee. and quit much use
OF white bread and take on Grape-Nuts
Breakfast Food.
New York mans experience is worth
knowing. He says: y was for a long
time troubled with general weakness and
loss OF ambition. without knowing the
cause. Always after eating / would find
myself practically helpless. and when
reached home at night could only hnd
relief after dinner by throwing myself on
the lounge and hardly speaking dozen
words TO my family the entire evening.
and as a last resort 80 TO bed.
i could look hack 20 the days when I
was athletic and full Of ambition. but
what made the change / could not figure
cut. I lost eighteen pouEds OF flesh, and
seemed to be entering a chronic state Of
inyalldism.
'One day my eye caught the argument
in one Of the advertisements OF Postum
Food Coffee. and 1t occurred to me that
perhaps coffee was getting In It's work
on me without my knowledge. At any
rate, l must do something; SO ! quit
drinking coffee altogether and took on
Postum, and also began the use OF Grape
Nuts Breakfast Food. In a short time I
began to enjoy life again. Found myself
running up stairs two steps At a time
and a general return Of energy, ambition
and strength. l not only regained my
eighteen pounds. but put seven more on
top of It. Now We always have Grape
Nuts and Postum each meal. The chill
dren drink the Food Coffee as well as
wife and myself. and / will guarantee
there is no healthier family in New
York. Phil NJ. Farley, 190 Williams St.

were very ignorant. None Of them were
accustomed to the conveniences of q
modern kitchen. and few we're able to
