Value Of Warm Breakfast
Beverage.
Explanation by Physician

The high-grade physician always
stands ready to guide ones habits and
prevent disease, even il by that means,
he loses many a fee.
Food and drink are important factors
relating to health.
DR.. William r.. Blackwood, S52 N. 23d
street, Philadelphia, Pa, writes on the
subject and remarks about the need of
some warm drink for breakfast, but
deprecates the use of coffee because of
its effect on the health. He refers to
the fact that the heat of warm break
fast beverage is important in causing
the necessary alvine evacuation which
should invariably follow breakfast
Personally, had been quite nervous
from overwork for a time, and neither
coffee nor tea seemed to agree with me.

The matter. he said. used 10 worry
him. Sausages were not OF so perish
able nature that they would not keep
