DRINK At MEALS.


The real trouble with tea and coffee
drinking is not generally understood. 1t
Is common knowledge with every one that
physicians advise the discontinuance of
both tea and coffee when person is sick,
particularly when the digestive machinery
Is affected. Any person with slight
knowledge of chemistry can make the FOL
lowing experiments, securing the results
as given. Coagulated egg albumen when
mixed with artificial gastric juices, will BIO
practically entirely dlgested in eight
hours
When tea is added during the process
of digestion, 66 per cent, of albumen Will
be digested leaving "a rcent. undigestcd
while if a detection Of coffee is mixed with
albumen, the results will be but I'll per ct.
digested and 80 per cent undigested. This
means one thing and the experiment
speaks that plainly. When tea or coffee Is
taken into the human stomach, they very
seriously Interfere with the natural aud
healthful operation. Where person has
an exceedingly powerful digestive appa-
sratus, he can stand this abuse for time,
but it is SIRE to tell sooner or later
In addition to the above 1t may be said
that any ordinary analytical chemist can
analyzo coffee and show the poisonous
5alknloids Of much the same character as
found in strychnine, whiskey, tobacco and
morphine These poisonS have IL direct
effect upon the liver, and "a furred tongue,
costive bowels. bad skin and various other
indications of approaching sickness are
apparent, These facts have been rccoS'
nized by physicians for many years, but
1t is difficult to induce people to leave or
their habits even when those habits are
shown to be injurious and to shorten tho
existence of the human body.
The manager of La Vita lln, health
institution at Battle Creek, Mich, made
a large number OF experiments i'll the di-
rection of food drink that would be at
once nourishing, palatable and fragrant,
without any of the poisonous or injurious
properties. His experiments were coniln'
ed to compromising and arranging pro-
ducts of various cereals, or grains sUch As
were intended by nature for mans sub
sistence. Being in II position to nnte the
effect of the beverage upon weak alUnach5
and patients who needed the most nonr
fishing food and drink that could be
obtained, his experiments were Gpnll'tcl
under what would probably be considered
the most favorable circumstances. Aiter
continued use and the most positive
evidence of the hoalthful properties ot he
food drink, patients who had baen healed
wished to continue the use Of tbs cereal
drink after their return to their homes,
and others made, demnad for it.
In order to supply thi, demand and the
public generally, the Postum Cereal Co.,
Limited was formed. All p"Oplo who
drink coffee and tea 10 not care to olson
tinue their use, although quito satisfied Of
their hurtful properties. There nrn e"Hith
people, however, in America Who hold
their health in high enough ,streH to ba
