The real trouble with tea and coffee
drinking is not generally understood.
1t Is common knowledge with every one
that physicians advise the discontinue
ance of both tea and coffee when per-
son is sick, particularly when the d.
gestive machinery Is affected Any
person with a slight knowledge of
chemistry can make the following ex-
periments, securing the results as CIV
en-, Coagulated egg albumen when
mixed with artificial gastric juices will
be practically entirely digested in eight
hours.
When tea is added during the process
of digestion b6 per cent, of albumen will
be digested, leaving "a per cent. undi-
gested, while If decoction of coffee Is
mixed with the albumen the result viii
be but 81 per cent. digested and 80 per
cent undigested. This means one thing,
and the experiment speaks that fact
plainly. When tea or coffee is taken
into the human stomach they very Sc
riously interfere with the natural and
healthful operation. Where a person
has an exceedingly powerful digestive
apparatus he can stand this abuse for
a time, but it is sure to tell sooner or
later.
In addition to the above it may be
said that any ordinary analytical chem
list can analyze coffee and show the
poisonous alkaloids of much the same
character as found in stryohnine, whis-
key, tobacco and morphine. These pol
sons have direct effect upon the liver,
and furred tongue, costiye bowels,
bad skin and various other indications
of approaching sickness are apparent.
These facts have been recognized by
physicians for many years, but 1t is diff
ficult to induce people to leave off their
habits even when those habits are
shown to be injurious and to shorten
the existence of the human body,
The manager of La Vita Inn, q, health
institution at Battle Creek, Mich made
a large number of experiments in the
direction of food drink that would be
at once nourishing, palatable and frag-
rant, without any of the poisonous or
injurious properties. His experiments
We're confined 70 compromising and ar
ranging products of various cereals, OF
grains, such as We're intended by nature
for mans subsistence. Being In a po-
sition to note the effect of the beverage
upon weak stomachs and patients who
needed the most nourishing food and
drink that could be obtained, his exper-
iments were conducted under what
would probably be considered the most
favorable circumstances. After con-
tinued use and the most positive evil
dence of the healthful properties of the
food drink, patients who had beer
healed wished to continue the use OF
the cereal drink after their return te
their homes, and others made demand
for It,
In order to supply this demand and
the public generally, the Postum Ce-
real Co., Limited, was formed. AL
people who drink coffee and tea do not
care to discontinue their use, although
quite satisfied of their hurtful proper
ties. There are enough people, how
ever, in America who hold their health
in high enough esteem to be willing
to give little attention to their food
and drink. There is no habit the crea-
ture acquires which produces as mr"'
real enjoyment as the old LED
habit Of being thoroughly when 9
man can inhale a deer -.sescn of pure
air and feel that eve part Of the
machinery of the hum body Is work
ing perfectly, the fe ing of comfort
produces deep SEM of easy content
and thankfulness to ne creator for the
mere privilege of II ing.
Postum is a thoroughly healthfu
food drink. 1t can be taken at eaci
meal by all members of the family
including the children. 1t quickly es
tablishes itself as an important par
Of the meal, and when left out, ont
misses the fragrant odor, the comfort
ing flavor and the health giving prop
