The recent speech of George w

Tea Drinking,

Tea Is an agreeable stimulant. quick
sning intellectual operations, removing
headache and fatigue and promoting
cheerfulness and sense of vel, be-
Ing. A cup of tea now and again Is g
most refreshing and excellent thing
but when it is used to excess the d.
gestive and nervous systems are espe-
c!ally affected. There is no doubt
that there are cases of dyspepsia caus-
ed by the inordinate use of strong tea.
and 1t is also matter of common OBJ
servation that sleeplessness, paIpita-
lion OF the heart, and nervous irrita-
hility often follow the prolonged and
excessive use Of this beverage. People
who drink tea to excess are to be found
In all classes OF society. and the fact
should be impressed upon such par-
sons that tea is not a food, and cannot.
saerefore. without risk to the health
be substituted for articles Of diet which
form both flesh and bone.
