FAMILY OF FIVE
All Drank Coffee From Infancy.

1t is a common thing in this country
to see whole families growing up with
nervous systems weakened by coffee
drinking.
That is because many parents do
not realize that coffee contains drug
-caffeine-which causes the trouble.
(The same drug is found in tea.)
"There are five children in my fam
ily," writes an Iowa mother, "all OF
whom drank coffee from infancy up
to two years ago.
"My husband and had heart trouble
and were advised>to quit coffee. We
did so and began to use Postum. We
now are doing without medicine and
are entirely relieved Of heart trouble.
