DISCOVERY OF COFFEE.
Made by an Arabian Shepherd.

| Made by an Arabian Shepherd.
| Coffee was first discovered in the
sixth century by an Arabian shepherd
who, having observed the goats of his
flock skip about and display other signs
of intoxication after eating the coffee
berry, concluded to try it's effects on
himself, and thus discovered its exhila-
rating property.
This discovery proved the poor shep-
herds undoing. for he Unfortunately
used large quantities, green, for its ex-
hilarating effect and soon died, poisoned
by its use.
In the sixteenth century 1t was intro
duced into France and was used SO
strong and excessively, particularly by
the Parisians. that it was found to in
jure alike the complexion and digestion.
This discovery prevented its general in
PRODUCTION into other European coun-
tries for the next century.
Since that period its growth has
gradually spread thru the civilized
world, despite the fact that pain and
destruction follow it's path, dyspepsia
having been hardly known before it's
introduction. 1t is a nerve stimulant"
and narcotic poison, and tho in no sense
food, is used for it's stimulating prin-
ciple, caffeine, which eXcites the nerves
unnaturally and wastes the reserve
force of the body. Coffee drives the
nerves for a time, stimulating them be-
yond their natural function, and using
up all their reserve force. After the
first effects are past comes breaking
down of the nerve centers and general
nervous arrangement. Following this in
many but not all cases is a long train
of misery among which the principal
symptoms are dryness in the mouth
and throat, headache, biliousness, pains
in the stomach or abdomen, pain in the
eyes and head, loss of appetite, dyspep-
STA and so on thru long, long list,
but the one cause of all the different
symptoms is the same.
The nerves have been broken down;
their reserve force is gone. Many OF
the symptoms of poisoning, are-ex-
IRENE nervousness. restlessness, an
guish of mind and heart, excessive re-
Taxation of body and brain, gloominess,
inability to think correctly, sleepless-
ness at night, drowsiness in the
morning, etc.
A lady from Sebastopol, Cal, writes:
IT was sick and poisoned woman
when began to use Postum Food Cof-
fee in place of coffee and after two
years steady use I find that Postum
soothes the nerves and builds them up,
storing reserve force and strength for t
time of need, enabling one to sleep well.
awake refreshed and bright for each
days task; it digests easily, builds and
tones up the stomach and also builds
up a good, strong brain, ready for any

''The Power Behind the Throne" a
highly successful romantic play by
Theodore Krenler, founded on Schillers
classic, Love and Intrigue" will be
given at the Odeon Tuesday, Dec. 9th

ter of Aria" daughter of court mu-
stefan, and her opportunities are mark
eddy strong. The scene is laid in an
Austrian province in the latter part of
the eighteenth century, and the story
tells Of the intrigues of the rival fac
tons in the petty court to obtain as

of an even excellence.
