In addition to the ABOVE it may be said
that any ordinary analytical chemist
can aualyze cofee and show the poison

tobacco and morphine. These poisons
have direct effect upon the liver, and
furred tongue, costive bowels. bad

These facts have been recognized BY

grains. such as were intended By IA
ture for mans subsistence Being IN
a position to note the effect OF the bev-
erage upon weak stomacis. and patients
who needed the most nourishiGg food
and drink that could be-Cbtained, his
experiments were conducted under what
would probably be considered the most
favorable circumstances. After contin-
ued use and the most positive evidence
of the healthful properties OF the food
drink, patients who had been healed
wished TO continue the use OF the cereal
drink after their return 10 their homes.

In order 10 supply this demand and
the public generally. the Postum Cereal
