COFFEE AHEAD.
On the List of Rheumatism Producer

On the List of Rheumatism Producers
DR.. f. Chancellor of st. Louis has re-
Gently made public his investigations on
the dangerous properties of uric acid
in food and drink. Coffee heads the
list with 70 grains of acid to the
POUND.
Unic Acid is the chief cause Of rheu-
matism and dangerous element to GO
into the human stomach.
DR.. Chancellor is one of the many
physicians who have in the past few
years forbidden the use of coffee and
told the people why, SO often almost
everyone knows for instance that coffee
has the power of placing in the blood
quantities of the little crystals OF Uric
Acid (these make rheumatisrn.) The
sharp particles being driven in and out
of the heart hundreds of times a day
tend to injure the delicate valves and
bring on valyular heart disease, a COM
mon result of rheumatism.
Another element in coffee is caffeine,
a dangerous afkaloid that stimulates
for a few moments or hours and then
attacks nerves Of stomach, heart, head,
kidneys and other organs.
1t generally prevents sleep and head
aches frequently follow when the usual
time for taking the drug DIS past.
Every sane person knows the result
of any drug habit. first cup now and
then. next a cup every morning and the
drinker has become slave and can't
quit without fight (unless he uses
Postum.)
1t is miserable feeling of humiEa-
ton to waken to the fact that you are
a mean. covering slave to anything.
Coffee is a useful drug in case of poi
soning but 1t should only be given like
any other drug under the advice of a
physician and for an especial pur-
pose
People who use drug habitually be-
the subject. How many coffee cranks
one sees and hears declaiming why
coffee never hurts me- and at the same
time perhaps hmping with rheumatism
Or unable to run a few steps or quick
ly mount pair of stairs without the
fiutter of a poor weak heart or the
smothering sickish feeling that so plain
ly points to Coffee Heart"
Generally the coffee victim whom
"coffee don't hurt is of bad complex
ion, with coated tongue, foul breath
and with stomach and bowel troubles
and with something always on my
nerves and yet the poor Inesmerized
victim will insist that coffee don't
hurt me-" Perhaps some day he gets
sick enough (and he Will in time) to

Then comes the battle royal. Coffee
acts like a veritable slave driver of
old and forces it's slave deeper and
deeper into subsection and misery.
There is only one easy way to break the
habit and get we'll and the reasons are
that when Postum Food Coffee Is used
instead of the old kind one finds the
deep, seal brown color. which turns to
q rich golden brown, when cream is
added. then the flavor is that Of the
higher and milder grades Of Java coffee,
crisp and delicious.
The change in feeling Of the ex-slaye
is very marked and pronounced. Cen
orally within days the sleep becomes
peaceful and the old troubles begin to
back off and show signs of disappear
ing.
Ten days time brings a return of
peace and some degree Of comfort, a
sure sign that disease Us going and
health coming in.
A perfectly natural and to be expect
ed result.
The damaging drug withdrawn and
its daily work of destroying nerves and
good blood stopped and the strong
food elements of Postum in
troduced to the human system means
quick repair of the wonderful little cells
of soft, grayish matter which make up
the Brain and Nerve centers all over
the body.
Coffee Is a we'll defined destroyer Of
these cells and offers nothing from
which to rebuild them, whereas Postum
had absolutely no destroying power
but is heavy with the very elements
Nature must have from which to do
this rebuilding. People do ruin them
selves with coffee and a tremendous
army of people have been helped back
to the land of health and comfort by
Postum
When one has enjoyed the rheu-
matism long enough and had all one
cares for of stomach, heart and other
troubles and is tired Of the
muddy complexion foul breath and
weak miseries of the coffee slave. Pos
tum offers a sure, easy way out of the
troubles provided of course the coffee
abuse has not gone on long enough to
set up organic disease. The safest and
most comfortable way is to throw out
the drug that causes the daily mis-
cry.
