plained to a World reporter. He said
that at first coffee was used, aud ITS
success was shown by the fact that
l25 confirmed beer drinkers who held
a meeting in St. Bartholomew Mis-
sion had altogether given up beer.
Medical experts and chemists found
that coffee has a narcotic quality which
irterfered with a complete cure, SO
