The Coffee Debate.

erly educated physician, chemist ana
food expert.
Please remember we never say ordi-
nary coffee hurts every one:
Some people use it regularly and
seem strong enough to Withstand its
attacks, but there is misery and dis
ease in store for the man or woman
who persists in it's use when nature
protests, by heart weakness, stomach
and bowel troubles, kidney disease.
weak eyes, or general nervous; prostra-
ton. The remedy is obvious. The drug.
caffeine, contained in all ordinary cof-
fee, must be discontinued absolutely or
the disease will continue in spite, Of
any medicine and will grow worse.
It is easy to leave off the old fashion
ed coffee by adopting Postum Food
Coffee, for in it one finds a pleasing hot
breakfast or dinner beverage that has
the deep seal brown color, changing to
a rich golden brown when good cream
is added. When boiled long enough (15
minutes) the flavor is not that of rank
Rio coffee, but very like the milder,
smooth and high grade Java, but en-
tirely lacking the drug effect of ordi-
nary coffee.
Any one suffering from disorders set
up by coffee drinking (and there is an
extensive Variety can absolutely de-
pend upon some measure Of relief by
quitting coffee and using Postum Food
Coffee
If the disease has not become too
strongly rooted, one can with good rea-
son expect it to disappear entirely in a
reasonable time after the active cause
Of the trouble is removed and the cellu-
lar tissue has time to naturally rebuild
with the elements furnished by Postum
and good food.
It's only just plain old common sense.
Now, with the exact facts before the
reader, he or she can decide the wise
course, looking to health and the power
to do things.
If you have airy doubt as to tho
cause Of any ache or all you may have,
remember the far reaching kilograms OF
hurt nervous system travel from heel
to head, and it may be we'll worth your
while to make the experiment of leav-
ing off coffee entirely for ten days and
using Postum in It's place.
You will probably gather some good
solid facts, worth more than a gold
mine, for health can make gold and
| sickness lose it. Besides there's all the
fun, for it's like continuous internal
frolic to be perfectly well.
There's reason for
