and says "T can't quit" you will have
discovered one of the slaves of the cot
fee importer Treat such kindly, for
they seem absolutely powerless to stop
the gradual but sure destruction of
body and health.
Nature has a way of destroying a
part of the people to make room for
the stronger. 1t is the old law of "the
survival of the fittest" at work, and
the victims are many.
We repeat the assertion that coffee
does harm MANY people, not all. but
an army large enough to appal the in
vestigator and searcher for facts.
The next prevarication of the coffee
importers and roasters is their state
ment that Postum Food Coffee is made
of roasted peas, beans or corn, and
mixed with low grade of coffee and
that it contains no nourishment.
We have previously offered to wager
$1000O0.00 with them that their state
ments are absolutely false.
They have not accepted our wager
and thev will not.
We will gladly make a present of
$25.000.O0 to any rooster or importer of
old-fashioned coffee who will accept
that WAGER
Free inspection of our factories and
methods is made by thousands of peo-
pie each month and the coffee import
ers themselves are cordially invited.
Both Postum and Grape-Nuts are abso-
lutely pure and made exactly as stated.
The formula of Postum and the an
alysis made by one of the foremost
chemists of Boston has been printed
on every package for many years and
is absolutely accurate.
Now as to the food value of Postum.
1t contains the parts of the wheat ber-
ry which carry the elemental salts,
such as lime, iron, potash, silica, etc,
etc, used by the life forces to rebuild
the cellular tissue, and this is particu-
larly true of the phosphate of potash,
also found in Graps.Nuts, which COM
bines in the human body with albu'
men and this combination, together
with water, rebuilds the WORKOUT gray
matter in the delicate nerve centers all
over the body and throughout the
brain and solar pleXus.
Ordinary coffee stimulates in an un
natural way, but with many people II
slowly and surely destroys and does
not rebuild this gray substance Sc
vitally important to the well being O.
every human being.
These are eternal facts, proven, wei
authenticated and known to every
properly educated physician, chemis
and food expert.

We make the assertion advisedly
and suggest that the reader secure his
own proof by personal inquiry among
coffee users.
Ask your coffee drinking friends If
they keep free from any sort of aches
and ails. You will be startled at the
percentage and will very naturally
seek to place the cause of disorder on
something aside from coffee, whether
food, inherited tendencies or some
thing else.
