Transcript

If coffee gives you indigestion, switch to postum. The makers of postum, the favorite mealtime drink in millions of American homes, presents those two lovable old characters from the hill country to London Manaphneur.

At 35 years of age, Harry Hartweak was a man who had gone through life without ever knowing the meaning of the word indigestion. In fact, as he'd often say to his friends who did have it, did have it. Oh, it's just your imagination.

But a few months ago Harry changed his tune. One night he was awakened from a restless sleep within digestion, and he felt miserable for hours. Then he began to have indigestion regularly. What had happened?

What changed him from a man who could laugh at indigestion to a man who really suffered from it? His doctor called it nerves. Coffee nerves. Now I'm not going to stand up here and say that coffee affects everybody's nerves.

It doesn't. Many people can drink all the coffee they want without the flight is still effect, but many others should not drink coffee. So if you suffer from nerves and nerves may affect you in any one of several ways, indigestion, sleeplessness, or irritability, and you think coffee may be responsible, or even partly responsible,

my advice. Switch to post them, because post them cannot possibly affect your nerve in any way. It contains no caffeine or stimulant of any kind. You will find post them as a distinctive full-bodied flavor all its own. A flavor that's made post them the favorite mealtime drink in millions of homes. So start tomorrow.

Drink post them instead of coffee and see what happens even in two weeks time. long enough to give Postam a fair trial. See if your digestion hasn't improved. See if you don't feel like a totally new and different person again. Drink Postam.
