DRINK AT ME AIS.
An ImpOrtant Part.


The real trouble with tea and coffee
! drinking is not generally understood.
I II Is common know ledge Vita every
one that physicians advise the discon-
! tlnuance of both tea and coffee when a
person is sick, particularly when the
digestive machinery is affected. Any
| person With slight knowledge of
! chemistry can make the following eX
perlmentS, securing the results as
! given. Coagulated egg albumen when
mixed with artificial gastric juices, will
! be practically entirely digested in
! eight hours.
When tea is added during the pro-
! cesSes Of digestion, 66 per cent. of
albumen will be digested, leaving 81
! per cent. undigested, while if decoc-
! ton of coffee is mixed With the albu
men, the result will be but 81 per
cent. digested and SO per cent. undi-
gested. This means one thing, and
| the experiment speaks that fact plain
| ly. When tea or coffee is taken into
the human stomach. they very serious
ly interfere with the natural and
healthiul operation. Where person
has an exceedingly powerful digestive
apparatus, he can stand this abuse for
time, but 1t is sure to tell sooner or
later.
In addition to the above il may be
sand that any ordinary anal ytical chem
list can a4Alyze coffee and Show the
poisonouss aikaloids Of much the same
character IN strychnine, wniskey, to-
hacco and morphine. These poisons
have direct affect upon the liver, and
furred tongue, costive bowels, bad skin
and various other indications of APP
preaching sickness are apparent. These
ha hyr
clans lor1many years, but it is difficult
to induce people to leave off their
habits even when those habits are
shown ta be injurious and to shorten
the existence of the human body.
The manager of La Vita lnn a health
institution at Battle Greek, Mich,
made a large number of experiments
in the direction of a food drink that
would be at once nourishing, palatable
and fragrant, without any of the
| poisonous or Injurious properties. His
experiments were confined to COM
| pOundine aud arranging products Of
| various cereals, or grains, such as were
! intended by nature for mans SubSist-
ence. Being in a position to note the
affect 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 e considered the most favor
able circumstances. After continued use
| and the most positive evidence of the
health s.Operties of the food drink,
patients .z.bo had been healed wished
to continue the use Of the cereal drink
after their return to their homes, and
others made demand for it.
In orGer TO supply this demand and
the public generally the Postum Cereal
company, Limited, was formed. All
people who drink coffee and tea do
not care TO discontinue their use, al
though quite satisfied of their hurtful
properties. There are enough people,
however, 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
creature acquires which produces as
much real enjoyment as the old fash
ioned habit of being thoroughly well.
When man can inhale deep breath
of pure air and feel that every part of
the machinery of the human body is
working perfectly, the feeling Of com
fort produces a deep sense of easy
content and thankfulness to the Creator
for the mere privilege of living.
Postum is thoroughly healthful food
] drink. IL can D6 taken at oacn meal
by all members of the family, includ
ing the children. Itquickly establishes
itself as an important part of the meal,
and when left out, one misses the fra
grant odor, the comforting flavor and
the health giving properties.
ID. coffee $50 cents) gives 40 to 45
cups.
/ package Postum (25 cents) gives LOO
cups.
About to ! 10 favor Of Postum.
This item of economy is by no means
the chief consideration. Health, COM
fort and red blood speak out strongly
for the natural drink.
This pure food drink brews exactly
the color of the richest coffee and has
much the same fragrant taste, with
none OF the harmful properties.
