Many persons do not realize that q
bad stomach will cause insomnia.
Coffee and tea drinking being such
an ancient and respectable form of
habit, few realize that the drug-caf-
in coffee and tea, is
one Of the principal causes of dys-
pepsia and nervous troubles.
Without their usual portion of cot
fee or tea, the caffeine topers are
nervous, irritable and fretful. That's
the way with a whisky drinker. = He

To leave of coffee or tea is an easy
matter If you want to try 1t, because
Postum gives gentle but natural
support to the nerves and does not
contain any drug-nothing but food.
