good  many  people  have  had  that  message  from  coffee 
or  tea  after  the  drug,  caffeine,  has  had  its  effect  upon 
nerves  or  digestion. 
Frequently  the  message  comes  at  night,  when  nerves 
won’t  quiet  down  and  sleep  won’t  come,  after  the  din¬ 
ner  cup  of  coffee. 
There’s  no  unfriendly  after-notice  from  that  good 
cereal  beverage,  Postum. 
Postum  delights  the  taste,  gives  comfort  and  satis¬ 
faction,  and  is  free  from  any  possibility  of  harm  to 
health. 
Try  Postum  with  your  meals  for  a  few  days  and 
let  the  whole  family,  the  children  included,  share  in  its 
appetizing,  invigorating  goodness.  It  will  bring  better 
nights  and  brighter  mornings. 
Your  grocer  sells  Postum  in  two  forms:  Instant 
Postum  (in  tins)  prepared  instantly  in  the  cup  by  the 
addition  of  boiling  water.  Postum  Cereal  (in  packages) 
for  those  who  prefer  to  make  the  drink  while  the 
meal  is  being  prepared;  made  by 
boiling  fully  20  minutes.
