Evils of Tea and Coffee.


The Evils Of Tea and Coffee Drinking
have become apparent throughout the civil
lied countries. The medical profession has
thrown its weight of authority against the
practice, and frequently referred to the
baneful results occasioned by the free use
of these articles as a beverage. Every con-
s, mer should realize that coffee is not an
aliment but a medicament, possessing a
powerful active principle or alkaloid known
as "caffein." which produces serious de-
rangements of the digestive organs and
the nervous system.
Dyspeptics. nervous persons and all those
suffering from indigestion, insomnia and
general debility should try the great n.y.

ing elements of malt extract. combined
