Concerning the evils Of coffee drinking.
DIR. Mendel of Berlin has published a
clinical study which is claimed to be the
most thorough yet made, as he had a
community of coffee drinkers under his
cpnSsant observation. the working women
in and about Essen. He found many of
these women consumed over a pound
of coffee a week. The leading symptoms
Of the Ills that afflicted them were pro-
found depression OF spirits and frequent
headaches with insomnia A strong
dose Of coffee would ralieve them for a
time. then the ailment would return. The
muscles became weak and trembling,
and the hands tremSsled when at rest.
The victims suffered so seriously they
dared not abandon the drinking of coffee
for fear Of death.
