DR.. HOWARD
Tells His Expe rience With Coffee

I am pleased to add my help to your
campaign of instruction on the subject
of coffee drinking. For ten or twelve
years I have been severe sufferer
from that cause.
I gradually abandoned everything
from time to time that thought pro-
duced the extreme nervousness from
which I a suffered and all of my very
frequent calls on my fellow physicians
resulted in no benefit until I was ad-
vised to do without coffee
My condition at that time was such
that | was certain that I had heart
disease in one of it's worst forms. Many
night I have retired not expecting
to live to see morning. The action was
so feeble and slow that it would run
as low as SO to 49, and never so, unless
l was taking severe exercise or using
some stimulant.
My experience in examining patients
who presented themselves for opera
tons under an anesthetic led me to
continually compare my condition with
theirs, and life was made very miser-
able for me by such comparisons.
I also suffered from constant muscu-
lar contraction of the fleshy portion of
the left hand, technical description of
which L will not undertake in this let
ter, but I could not get rid of the
trouble.
These conditions with a constantly
sour stomach, q feeling of extreme
faintness about all hour before regular
meal time, and a sallow complexion
gives you a general idea of the shape 7
was in Just before l discontinued the
use Of coffee. 1t was very hard to give
up coffee, but was compelled to
do so, and for while used water and
milk. Then l tried a so-called cereal
coffee, which I have since learned is
made partly of coffee and partly of
Drowned grain and is sold as an imita-
ton of your Postum, This did not
work so / went back to the water and
milk until about year ago l got hold
of Postum--the genuine. Since then I
have had one cup and sometimes two
every morning, and frequently for din
ner a night. My health was never bet
ter than it is now, no nervousness or
muscular contraction, no heart trouble
or sour stomach, and the pulse running
from 70 to rs.
At the time i was suffering from the
effects of coffee l made application for
some life insurance, and was rejected
on account of the action of my heart.
To show what the abstinence of cof-
fee and the drinking of Postum will
do, and has done for me, 1 will say that
in March last l was examined for life
insurance and passed a most excellent
examination. Having gone through the
very disagreeable experience and been
relieved from the trouble, it is but nat
ural that | should feel willingness to
assist you all I can in your work, for
do not believe one person in ten has a
realizing sense of the damage to the
nervous system caused by the consump-
ton of coffee.

Po1rs Wonderland Theater.

There was no dimunition in the rush
to Polls last night, constant stream
of people filing in until the house was
filled to standing room. Last nights
audience expressed the same opinion as
the earlier audiences about the show
not only in comment, but by almost
constant laughter and applause. Alta
rabi, the equilibrist, amid storms of APP
plause, performed his giddy feats with
such ease that it was simply wonderful.
A beautiful sight, too, with the brilliant
electric lights used in the act. Ladell
and Francis danced and tumbled into
popular favor with rush. Dooley and
Tenbrooke, the black face comedians,
again won the house. and Barron's dogs
gave their menagerie and circus amid
laughter and expressions of astonish-
ment that real live lions could SO closely
be represented. Mr.. and Mrs. Tobn' s
musical act, a gem of real artistic mer-
it, was heartily received. The remain
der of the bill went with great success.
1t includes Dorothy Drew, Swan and
O'Day, Terry and Lambert and Teed
and Lazelle. Prices 10 cents and 20
cents; ladies in the afternoon 10 cents.
