ART OF REST

May Be Acquired and Used With Great
Benefit.
Complete and restful poise of the
body and mind IS an art not easily
gained
Perhaps nothing brings one as much
content, comfort, happiness. and pleas
ure as those conditions OF easy, restful.
resourcefUi and we'll balanced mind and
body. that make of work pleasure and
the daily Lille happy and peaceful.
The nervous housewife busy with a
hundred duties and harassed by chill
dren: the business man. worried with
the press of daily affairs. debts. etc.
cannot enjoy the peace and restful re-
pose and healthful nervous balance I'M
less they know how
There Is a way. First and foremost
the stomach must be consulted. That
means leaving of coffee absolutely, for
the temporary stimulant and the re-
sulting depression is a sure ruin TO the
nervous system. and the whole condi-
ton of health and happiness rests upon
stomach. nerves. and mind.
Start with the stomach. that is the
keystone to the whole arch. Stop using
things that break down it's power. upset
its nervous energy. and prevent the
proper digestion of the food and the
consequent manufacture of healthful
blood and nerves. brain and tissues.
When you quit coffee take on Postum
Food Coffee That Is like stopping the
payment of interest and starting on a
career where you are loaning money and
receiving interest. The good results are
double. You stop poisoning the system
with coffee and start building up the
broken down nerve cells by powerful
elements contained in Postum. These
are pure food elements ably selected by
experts for the purpose of supplying
Just the thing required by Nature to per-
form this rebuilding.
These are solid, substantial facts. and
can be proven clearly TO the satisfac-
tion of anyone. by personal experience.
Try the change yourself and note how
the old condition of shattered nerves
and worried mind changes to that feel
ing Of restful poise Of a well balanced
nervous system.
The managing physician OF a hygienic
sanitarium in Indiana says that for five
years in his practice he has always
insisted upon the patients leaving off
coffee and taking Postum Food Coffee
with the most positive. we'll defined re-
suits and with satisfaction to the most
