OUR STATE CAPITOL.

Some time ago a gentleman visited

As he was about to take his depar-
ture he said that he had visited twen-

FRENCH HYPNOTISM.
The Doctor Advises Patients Regarding
the Use of Coffee.

In Paris one of the many interest
ing sights is the clinque of DR.. Beril-
Ion. on the Rue St-AndTe-d es- Arts,
where hypnotism is very largely en-
ployed in the cure of various diseases.
Some of the cures smack of the mracu-
lous, and the ordinary observer can
comprehend nothing of the why and
wherefore.
1t is noticeable, however that the
doctor instructs his patients to leave
off coffee entirely" and to some who
have had experience with the drug,
that nay account in part at least for
the cures.
1t IS not generally understood. by
non professional people, how many
curious disorders have their rise in
coffee drinking. Kidney troubles. con-
stipation, heart disturbances, pains that
are liable to attack any part. and a
long list of bodily ails come from coffee
and the following is something of the
pathological reason.
Certain alkaloids in coffee are directly
poisonous to many human systems; the
heart is made TO unnaturally increase
its beats. the action of the digestive
machinery is partially stopped. and a
narcotic and poisonous effect is pro-
duced on the entire nervous system.
Some like the effect for a time like q
morphine eater. but if persisted in,
even to the extent Of one cup a day, a
sure and unavoidable penalty is to pay.
Some one or more of the vital or
gans are likely TO become diseased and
/ broken down, i'll health and the hor-
rors Of invalidism is the result. 1t is
easy to say nonsense. when the truth
is told about ones favorite drug. but

the same If we persist in misusing our
bodies with unnatural food or drink.
