Burning the Candle At Both Ends means shortened life for the candle. Harmful habits of food and drink added to the natural wear and tear of work and play, bing about the same result in the human body. An ordinary cup of coffee contains about 21 grams of caffeine, a poisonous habit-forming drug. "Both tea and coffee," says a prominent physician, "impair digestion and produce various disorders of the nerves, and lead to anteriosclerosis or hardening of the arteries, among the results of which are Bright's disease, apoplexy and premature old age." There you have it--Premature Old Age for coffee drinkers. Why risk health and comfort for a few cups of coffee? A steaming cup of POSTUM--the pure food-drink--made of wheat and a bit of wholesome molasses--has a delicious coffee-like flavour, but is free from caffeine or other injurious substance. Thousands of former coffee drinkers now use POSTUM. "There's a Reason" |
