Remember, Postum is not a "substitute" for coffee. There is no true "substitute" for coffee. Coffee is a thing by itlf, it has no "substitute." Postum is a thing by itself, a pure food drink heavy in nourishment. It has its own cereal fragrance and its own flavour, incidentally much like the snap of coffee, but it is not a it stands alone, it is Postum and nothing One awful example of the ignorant imitator, intimates that "one" cup" of the imitation will suffice.

Some money seekers, withont knowlMg: of food values, think they can "fix up omething," hire some "advertising expert" and make a fortune in "Coffee Substitute." In the past .10 years more than 100 such schemes have been started and failed, because the schemers have bpen imitators and ignorant of food xalues and have relied upon foolish statements to mislead persons who have been hurt by coffee and peek some relief. "When a man or wman finds coffee acts badly with them, causes indigestion, heart palpitation, kidney or bowel irregularities or unbalances the nervous system, and icommon serine dictates that coffee be left off, they will not turn to a coffee substitute "fixed up" by some dollar chasers who know absolutely nothing of the science of dietetics.

On the contrary, just aa one would seek the most skilful physician when ill, these people tnrn to the food drink Postum because they know it to be the one and only cereal coffee made by food experts of undoubted skill and trained experience. As an illustration, one of these, imitators of Postum announces that no "worthless bran" is usd in making its imitation of Postum; That statement alone is prima facie evidence of the dense ignorance oi such people. In making Postum the) wheat is milled so an to separate the thick outer coat-and use it, because it ia the part of the wheat which carries down nerves cannot be rebuilt from tors may claim. The rebuilding elements of the kind Nature requires and which are Tound in Postum must be furnished to the body at least 10 days and better 60 days to make sure. Ignorance and pretense may flah their tinsel for a time and offer prizes to reward people who purchase imitations, but neither the ignor-ance nor the prize will rebuild broken doy'n nerve cells, andnltimately the public finds it out and the imitators join the army of derelicts and failures.

The growth of Postum steadily increases year by year as the people come to know the fundamental facts and prove their truth by practical, personal experience.
