COFFEE AHEAD
On the List of Rheumatism Producers.

DR.. E. Chancellor 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 20 grains of Acid to the
pound.
Uric Acid is the chief cause of rheu-
matism and dangerous element to go
into the human stomach.
Dr. Chancellor is one of the many
physi clans 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 cof-
fee has the power of placing in the
blood quantities of the little crystals
of Uric Acid (these make rheuma-
tism) The sharp particles being
driven in and out of the heart humid
reds of times a day tend to injure the
delicate valves and bring on valvular
heart disease, a common result of
rheumatism.
Another element in coffee is caf-
feline dangerous alkaloid that simu-
lates for few moments or hours and
then attacks nerves of stomach, heart,
head. kidneys and other organs.
1t generally prevents sleep, and
headaches frequently follow when the
usual time for taking the drug is past.
Every sane person knows the re-
suit of any drug habit, first a cup now
and then, next a cup every morning
and the drinker has become a slave
and can't quit without fight (unless
he uses Postum
1t is a miserable feeling of humilia-
ton to waken to the fact that you are
a mean, covering slave to anything.
Coffee is a useful drug in case of pois-
oning but it should only be given, like
any other drug. under the advice of a
physician and for an especial purpose.
People who use a drug habitually
become not only slaves but fanatics on
the subject How. many coffee cranks
one sees and hears declaiming ''why
coffee never hurts me" and at the
same time perhaps limping with rheu-
matism or unable to run a few steps
or quickly mount a pair of stairs with
out the futter of a poor weak heart
or the smothering sickish feeling that
so plainly points to n 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 mesmerized
victim will insist that coffee don't
hurt me-" Perhaps some day he gets
sick enough (and he will in time) to
wake IN and see what is killing him.
