AN IMPORTANT PART.

Ihe real trouble with tea and coffee drinking
S not generally Understood. It ID common knowi-
edse with every one that physicians advise the
discootinuance Of both tea and coffee when . per-
son 10 SICK. particularly when the digestive ma
cninery II affected. Any person with q slight
knowledge Of chemistry can make the following
experiments. securing the results given. Coag-
uisted egg albumen when mixed with artificial
gastric juices, will be practically entirely dgested
in eight hours
When tea is added during the process Of diges-
tion u per cent Of albunen will be digested, leav
Ing "a per cent undigested, while IL dec0ction Of
eonee s mixed with the albumen, the result will
be but 81 per cent digested and 80 per cent undi-
geffed- This means thing, and the experiment
speaks that fact plainly. When tea coffee is
taken into the human stomach. they very seriously
interfere with the natural and healthful operation
"nere q pereon has an exceedingly powerful di-
sestse apparatus. he can stand this abuse for q
time, but 1t is sure to tell sooner or later.
In ADDITION to the above 1t may he said that any
ordinary analytical chemist can analyxe coffee and
SLOW the poisonous aikaloids of much the same
character as found In strychnine whIskey, tobacco
ara morphine. These pOisOns have a direct effect
upon the liver and furred tongue costiye towels
Dad skin and various other of
ing sickLess are apparent. These facts have been
recognized by physicians for many years, but 1t
s dhcult to induce people leave OF their habits
even when those habits are shown to lie Injurious
and to shorten the existence Of the human body.
Inc mcbager OF La Vits Inn, health institution
ut Battle Creek Mich, made a large number of
experiments in the direction Of a food drink that
"oaid De at ocee nourishing, palatable and fra
Hraht' WITHOUT any Of the poisonous injurious
properties. His experiments were confined to
comp0unding and arranging products Of various
cereais, or grains such were intended by nature
for mans subsistence. Being in a position to note
the eject Of the beverage upon weak stomachs, and
patients who needed the most nourisbing food and

conducted under what would probably be considered
the most favorable circumstances. After continued
use and the most positive evidence Of the health
ful properties Of the food-drink patients who had
been healed wished to continue the use of the
cereal drink after their return to their bomes and
Others made demand for 1t.
In order to supply this demand and the public
generally. the Postum Cereal Co., Limited was
formed. All people who drink coffee and tea do
not care to discontinue their use although quite
satisfied Of their hurtful properties. There are
enough people, however, in America who hold their
health In high enough esteem to he willing to give
a little attention to their food and drink There
Is no habit the creature ACQUIRES which produces us
much real enjoyment the old fashioned habit Of
being thoroughly we'll. When a can inhale a
deep breath OF pure air and feel that every part
OF the machinery Of the human body is working
perfectly. the feeling Of comfort produces q deep
sense OF easy content and thankfuIess to the

family. including the children 1t quickly estal-
fishes itself as an important part Of the meal and
when left out. one misses the fragrant odor, the
comforting flavor and the healthgiving properties.

This Item Of economy is by no means the chief
consideration. Health. comfort and red blood speak
out strongly for the lral drink
This pure food drink brews exactly the color Of
the richest coffee and has much the same fra
grance and taste, with none Of the harmful prop
