Transcript
If coffee makes you nervous, switch to postums. The makers of postums, the favorite mealtime drink in millions of American homes, present those two lovable old characters from the hill country, love and after. It wasn't so long ago that on afternoons when school let out, you'd always hear something like this, in the home of young Tony Moran.
Of course you may, dear. Or if you like, you can have some cookies I made today. But one day when the youngster came home, this happened. No, you can't have a thing and stop shouting.
Go to your room this instant, do you hear me? And it went on like that day after day. What had happened to that woman? What had changed her from a sweet kind lovable mother to a cranky short-tempered irritable woman?
Her doctor said it was nerves, coffee nerves. Naturally, I wouldn't stand here for one minute and tell you that coffee is harmful to everybody. It just isn't. Plenty of people can take coffee in their stride dried without any harm at all. But plenty others cannot. So if you suffer from nerves, and nerves can make you irritable or keep you awake nights or give you indigestion, and
you suspect coffee may be to blame or even partly to blame, by all means switch to postam. You see, there's no caffeine or stimulant of any kind in postam, so it can't possibly set your nerves on edge. Postam has a fragrance and flavor that are truly distinctive. So You'll get Postam from your grocer tomorrow. Drink it instead of coffee.
Then, even at the end of two weeks, long enough to give it a fair trial. See if your nerves aren't steadier. See if you aren't good-natured again. See if you don't thank your lucky stars. You switch to Postam.
