The Co1cc-Eatinx Habit.

The coffee-eating habit is on the IT,
crease, ard it is probably the worst that
can be found, says well-known physl-
clan. Coffee when boiled and taken u
4 beverage is not only uninjurious' but
beneficial unless taken in very large
quantity, but when eaten as roasted is
productive of train of ills that finally
result in complete mental and physical
prostration. I have had number OF
cases of the kind, and they are as diff
cult to cure as those arising from the
opium habit. The trouble is more prev
alent among young girls than any one
else. They eat parched coffee without
any definite object, just as they eat
soapstone slate pencils, with mucl,
more disastrous results. The coffee
eater becomes weak and emaciated. the
complexion is muddy and sallow, the
appetite poor, digestion ruined anil
