The effect of coffee on brain workers
IS more injurious than on those who
york with their hands, but still the
hard physical worker is often seriously
hurt with coffee.
A man from Mead, Wash, says;
Coffee drinking had a different effect
on nv wife than on me, it ruined her
nervous system and put her in very bad
condition that way With me my
nerves seemed to be all right but my
stomach was disordered and ] was
suffering from dyspepsia from drinking
coffee, so finally we concluded to begin
using Postum instead of coffee.
"In very few days the dizziness and
headaches that she had suffered with
more or less, disappeared. and her
nerves kept getting better and my
dyspepsia left, now can eat anything
I have noticed that in hard work in the
harvest field the days when l used
coffee / was not near SO strong and
vigorous as when used Postum.
Il nave had many chances to prove
and have proved that Postum is far and
away better for me than coffee, besides
