listeners The doctor continued:
ssMen, and women even more, drink tea and
coffee constantly. and wonder why they feel
dull and stupid have headaches, bad taste
in the mouth, pains in the limbs and about tho
body and irregularity of the secretons. Nine
cases out Of ten these things are caused by
too free use of tea and coffee. These drinks
clog the system, weaken the tissues and de-
stroy the most important organs. Few men
or women who indulge in tea and coffee regu-
larlv have clear urine, but on the contrary,
sediment scum and brick dust, all of which
invariably mean coming disease or death"
ssBut what are we to do, Doctor? Shall We
give up tea and coffee altogether"
"No. / do not advise that, but regulate it.
Keep the kidneys clear and active. There is
nothing in the world so good for this as the
well known and popular Hunts Remedy. Any
one who uses this medicine regularly can drink
tea and coffee moderately without fear. The
reason is that Hunts Remedy Pushes or wash
es out the kidneys, and keeps them free and
healthy ANY number of prominent men and
women can confirm what I say, among the
number scores of doctors and ministers, Gen.
Butler Gen. Monroe and Miss Alcot-"
It was plain that the warning and advice OF
the doctor had made deep impression on his
listeners, as il also should upon the millions
of men and women who are shortening their
lives by the use of these drinks.
