FISH.HOOK
May Cause Death Of a
Priest.
Blood Poisoning Resulted From
a aSIight Wound.

New York Dec. ga. P.)--Father
VIM. j. O'Kelly, rector of the Catho-
lie church of Our Lady of Good Coun-
sci, is reported at tie rectory attached
TO the church, as dying from blood
poisoning. While at Rockaway beach
several weeks ago, Father O'Kelly
carelessly handled fish hook, which
entered his thumb. A little later it
was discovered that blood poisoning
had developed, and that it would be
necessary to amputate the thumb.
Father O'Kelly protested against the
amputation. stating that IL his thumb
were removed he would be unable to
celebrate mass his church requiring
that priests shall not be manned. At
his earnest request amputation was
postponed, until, it is feared that the
operation took place too late to save
his life.

Remember, the nerves traverse the
entire body, and when they are out
of order, convey their trouble to some
one or more parts. No living being can
tell just where the nerves will deposit
the trouble, but it is certain they will
place it somewhere in one or more
organs.
In some cases disease is slowly built
up, for instance, in the kidneys, or
in the brain, or perhaps in the bow
els and does not make any violent
show for weeks or months, but 1t is
being piled In slowly and surely, so
that when enough diseased cells are
built to make a showing, the trouble
Is so far gone that many times it is
impossible to recover.
The only safe pathway for anyone
who cares for health, Is to throw out
the poisonous drug coffee as soon as
you find some evidence of incipient

disease, shown by aches or ails, or
uncomfortable feelings anywhere in
the body.
Highly organized people are distinct
ly poisoned by coffee, and think 1t hard
t. give up the drug dor it Is a drug
Labit.) 1t is really no task whatever
to rid ones self of coffee; If one will
take on Postum Food Coffee. the re-
suit of the change will be SO pleasing
in point Of good, healthy, comfortable
feeling, that one is well repaid. partic-
ularly when there is no self denial,
for the taste Of Postum Food Coffee is
SO clearly marked and delicious when
1t Is properly prepared land that is
easy,) that the change from the old
coffee is not noticeable.
Stop disease when 1t Is small and Won
are able to stop it. If you allow II to
grow, 1t will master you. Postum Food
Coffee, offers pleasant and sure
way to conquer and be well.
