If coffee makes you nervous, switch to postum. To the postum, the favorite mealtime drink in millions of American homes presents those two lovable old characters from the hill country, loved by nap. I dropped into a restaurant with three people I know, and the meal had hardly begun before one of the fellows lost his temper with a waitress.
A few minutes later, one of the other fellows, though pleasant enough, almost jumped out of his seat when a plate was dropped. And the third, as soon as they finished eating, ordered a bicarbonate for his indigestion.
What was wrong with those people? What made one of them touchy and bad-tempered? Another jittery and a third suffer from indigestion. Well each one admitted to me what his doctor said. It was nerves, coffee nerves.
Now I don't think for one minute I'm trying to tell you that coffee makes everybody nervous because it doesn't. Many people can drink coffee without any ill-affected oil, but many others cannot. So if used offer from nerves and nerves, you know, can make you touchy and irritable, or jumpy and jittery, or give you indigestion,
and you think coffee may be responsible, or even partly responsible, make it a point to switch to postum. For postum contains no caffeine or other stimulant that could possibly set your nerves on it, and postum has a flavor all its own.
and distinct the full-bodied flavors that made post-em the favorite mealtime drink in millions of homes. So drink post-em instead of coffee. And in just two weeks long enough to give post-em a fair trial is if you aren't less nervous, if you don't feel better, if you aren't a calm, likable person again.
