Coffee Gets In Its Work.

Watch coffee drinkers and observe
that practically everyone of them has
some form of incipient or fixed disease.
Mrs. F. N. Wright, of San Francisco,
Cal, tells her experience: Il was 20
years old before I ever knew the taste
of coffee and before 1 commenced drink
ing it, I never was troubled in the least
with constipation, but after drinking
coffee for one year. 1 became consti-
pated to such a degree that I had to re-
sort to drugs to overcome it.
After three years drinking coffee. I
had cultivated a chronic state of constf-
patton and other annoying svnnntann~
became manifest. The first thing in the
morning, l had a headache come on, a
feeling of nausea, and these symptoms
would persist until 1 had drunk a
quantity of coffee. At first, 1 did not
associate these symptoms with the
habit of coffee drinking. I thought my
system must be run down, and I felt
glad that coffee, instead of prescribed
drugs would relieve the weakness. Like
many people. I did not reason from
cause to effect.
About this time had an elderly nurse
in my employ, who complained every
morning of similar symptoms, and when
/ suggested mineral water, ETC., to her
for her biliousness. she said, Nothing
in the world but my coffee will relieve
me. when I feel so badly My husband
began to complain. if he did not get his
coffee at a certain time, of queer sensa-
lions in the stomach and head. I be

came to the conclusion that coffee hao
as strong a hold on us as whisky has
with the Veriest drunkard. About thi:
time, 1 was taken i'll with inf1ammatory
rheumatism, and the two doctors WHIT
attended me. told me I would have tt
stop drinking coffee or remain a Grip
pie, as they could not treat me if 1 per

as if purchases on breaks would make
