YERBA MATE 
Exotic Tea of South America 
South American Indians discovered this 
“Miracle” herb to give them strength and 
endurance. 
Early Spanish explorers quickly adopted 
its use in order to conquer Indians with 
their own weapon. Used for centuries by 
settlers, natives and gauchos of the Pam- 
pas.’ From South America travelers car- 
ried and spread the use of this tea over 
the world. Many prefer “Yerba Mate” to 
tea or coffee. Yerba Mate is more stimu- 
lating than tea or coffee, and contains 
much less tannin than either beverage. 
Yerba Mate contains more chlorophyll 
than green or black tea. 
Authorities say that Yerba Mate tea 
produces mental exhilaration, bodily com- 
fort and refreshment, with no subsequent 
organic or physical destruction. It is a 
first class stimulant for the muscles, 
nerves and brain. It facilitates digestion 
without affecting the heart or disturbing 
sleep. Because of its soothing effect upon 
the nerves, Yerba Mate tea is invaluable 
to those suffering physical or mental 
strain. 
Try using Yerba Mate in a Reducing 
Diet. Yerba Mate tea has properties that 
lessen the sense of hunger, without fatten- 
ing elements. Most doctors agree that the 
safest way to reduce is to eat fewer calor- 
ies than the body consumes. 
Under stress and strain, Yerba Mate 
may be used temporarily as a substitute 
for solid foods, which often cause harm- 
ful dyspepsia under these conditions. 
Yerba Mate is prepared like chinese tea. 
It may be served hot or iced. Many pre- 
fer honey to sweeten. It may be flavored 
with lemon or a dash of cinnamon if de- 
sired. 
Sold in 35ec and $1.25 size boxes.

work once more.’’—Mrs. C.H.S., Troy, N.Y.

L.M., DeWitt, Ark. 
“That Yerba Mate has pushed coffee en- 
tirely out of my appetite—something noth- 
ing else could do—and it gives me better 
digestion. My wife has fallen for the drink 
and now does her own washing. Thanks.”
