Nature has a way of destroying a part

We repeat the assertion that coffee
does harm many people, not all. but an

The next prevarication of the coffee
importers and roasters Is their statement
that Postum Food Coffee is made Of

with low grade OF coffee and that 1t
contains no nourishment

Please remember we never say ordi-
nary coffee hurts everyone.
Some people use 1t regularly and seem
strong enough to Withstand its attacks,

its use when nature protests, by heart

1t is easy to leave OF the old fashioned
coffee by adopting Postum Food Coffee.

When boiled long enough (15 minutes)
the flavor Is not that of rank Rio coffeo

up by coffee drinking land there is an

upon some measure Of relief by quitting

II the disease has not become too

The published statements of number
of coffee importers and roasters indicate
"waspy" feeling towards us, for daring
to say that coffee is harmful to percent
age Of the people.
A frank public discussion of the sub
ject is quite agreeable to Us and can GER
tainly do no harm; on the contrary, when
all the facts on both sides CT any question
are spread before the people they can
thereupon decide and act intelligently.
Give the people plain facts and they
will take care OF themselves.
We demand facts in this coffee discus
sion and propose to see that the facts are
brought clearly before the people.
A number of coffee importers and
roasters have Joined a movementto boom
coffee and stop the use of Postum Food
Coffee and in theirnewspaper statements
undertake to deceive by false assertions.
Their first is that coffee is not harmful.
Weassert that one in every three coffee
users has some form of incipient or
chronic disease; realize for one moment
what terrible menace to a nation Of civ
ilized people when one kind of beverage
cripples the energies and health OF
one-third the people who use 1t.
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 II
they keep free from any sort of aches
and ails. You will be startled at the per-
centage and will very naturally seek to
place the cause of disorder on something
