Am InpOrtant Part.

The real trouble with tea and coffee
drinking is hot generally understood. IL
is common knowledge with everyone that
physicians advise the discontinuance of
Doth tea and coffee when a Person Is
sick, particularly when the digestive ma
chinery is affected. ANY person with a
slight knowledge of chemistry can make
the fOllc wing experiments, securing the re-.
suits as given. Coagulated egg albnmen
when mixed with artificial gastric juices
will be practically entirely digested in
eight hours.
digestion, &C per cent OF altunen will b,.
digested, leaving "a per cent undgcstcd
while If detection OF coffee is mixed with
the albumen, the result will be hut 81 per
cent digested and 80 per cent undgested.
This means one thing. and the experiment
speaks that fact plainly. When tea or
coffee Is taken into the human stomach
they very seriously interfere with the
natural and healthful operation Wher,. u
person has an exceedingly powerful di-
gestive apparatus, he can stand this abuse
for time, but II Is sure to tell sooner or
later
In addition to the above it may be said
that any ordinary analytical chemist can
anaiyze coffee and show the poisonous
alsaloids of much the same character as
| found in strychnine. whisky. tobacco and
morphine. These ,poisOns have direct
effect upon the liver, and furred tongue.
| costive bowels, bad skin and various other
indications of approaching sickness are
apparent These facts have been recoe.
nized by physicians for many years. but
it is difficult 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 a health in
stitution at Battle Creek, Mich, made a
| large number OF experiments in the direc,
ton of a food drink that would be at once
| nuurishing. palatable and fragrant, Will :
out any OF the poisonous or Injurious prop
critics. His experiments were confined
To compromising and arranging products of
various cereals. or grains, such as were
intended by nature for mans subsistence.
Being III position 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 experiments were conducted under what
| would probably be considered the most
| favorable circumstances. After continued
| use and the most positive evidence of The
| healthful properties of the fotd-drink, pa
| tients who had been healed wisncd Ia con-
tinue the use of the cereal drink after
their return to their homes, aud others
made demand for it.
| In Older supply this demand and the.
public generally, the Postum Cereal Co !.
Limited, was formed. A llpt oIic " no drink
coffee and tea CO not care to discontinue

pie, however, in America, who hold their
health in high enough esteem % be willing

Quires which produces as much real en-. oy-
ment as the old-faShioned habit of being

q 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 deep sense of easy Con-
tent and thankfulness to the Creator for
the mere privilege of living
Postum is q thoroughly healthful food
