The Brazilian minister to the United
States has been endeavoring to encour-
age the importation into this country
Of Yerba mate or Paraguay tea, to take
the place to some extent of Chinese
tea. Yerba Mate is a stimulant used
generally throughout South American
countries. Most Americans who visit
Southern countries become fond Of the
drink, though it seems doubtful If it
will ever take the place of tea in this
country. Our consul-general at Rio
Janeiro in report to the state de-
partment recommends it's use, how
ever, as an excellent stimulant and
nerve tonic. "It is prominently q
temperance drink" he says, land the
temperance societies in the United
States could do a very useful work by
helping to popularize it. Yerba mate,
has all the stimulating and sustaining
qualities Of Chinese tea or of coffee,
without the detrimental effect caused
by their constant and excessive use
affection of liver and kidneys, irrita-
ton of the nervous system, etc-and
it Is very cheap. The great masses in
Uruguay and Argentine, including the
famous gauchos (cowboys) of the
pampas, who drink it constantly in
stead Of water, tea or coffee, hardly
ever use alcoholic stimulants. Intoxi-
cation is rare occurrence there.
