First Discovery 

 of Coffee 



About 15 centuries ago an Arab herder of 

 goats driving the flock through some new 

 country was alarmed at the antics of the ani- 

 mals and thought they were "possessed of the 

 devil." 



Each day the same thing occured after the 

 goats had eaten of a certain kind of berry. The 

 goatherd thought he would eat a few to try the 

 effect. 



That was the discovery of coffee. 



Arabs learned to brown the berries and boil 

 them, drinking the liquor which was then and 

 now recognized as a stimulant with direct action 

 on the heart, and of course the reaction and de- 

 pression later on. 



Coffee sets up a partial congestion of the liver 

 in many people as shown by the coated tongue, 

 yellow skin and general lethargy. If continued, 

 fixed and chronic disease sets up in some organs 

 most easily affected. Some people are strong 

 enough in digestion to get along well with coffee 

 for years, but great numbers are not. 



It is often stated by physicians that coffee is 

 the one greatest of all causes of disease to ™ 



Americans. .^ \ \~>^ 



Anyone can easily prove whether it be coffee 

 that causes the periodical headaches, sick stomach, bowel troubles, weak heart, kidney com- 

 plaint, weak eyes, neuralgia, rheumatism or nervous prostration. 



Simply leave it off entirely for ten days and that's easy when you can have a piping hot rich 

 cup of POSTUM with the coffee color and a crisp coffee snap (if well made according to the 

 directions on the package.) 



If you find, in a day or two, that you are getting better, that's your cue, follow it straight 

 back to health, comfort and the power to do things.
