Transcript

If coffee makes you irritable, switch to a postem. The makers of postem, the favorite mealtime drink in millions of American homes, present those two lovable old characters from the hill country, lom and abner.

A noisy streetcar or truck passing by may not only make you jump, but it certainly doesn't help your disposition. And that's especially true if you're a victim of coffee nerves, if you're so jittery that even slight noise is irritated.

And suffering with coffee nerves is no fun. And mind you, while many people can drink coffee and not be affected by it, you may be a perfect example of the many others who can opt.

So if coffee is setting your nerves on edge, drink post them instead. And after two weeks, long enough to give post them a fair trial, see if your nerves aren't steadier, see if you aren't glad you switched to post them.
