COFFEE AHEAD
On the List Of Rheumatism Producers.

On inc LIST OF hneumdtfSm PRODUCERS.
DR.. E. 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 10 grains of Acid to the pound
Uric Acid is the chief cause of rheu-
matism and a dangerous element to go
into the human stomach.
DR.. Chancellor is one Of the many ply
sicians 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 0hese
make rheuma tism). The sharp particles
being driven in and out of the heart hun
dreds of times a day tend to injure the
delicate valves and bring on valvular
heart disease, common result of rheu-
matism.
Another element in coffee is caffeine, a
dangerous~alkaloid 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 is past
Every sane person knows the result OF
any drug habit; first a cup now and then,
next a cup every morning, and the drink
er has become a slave and can't quit
without fight tunless he uses Postum
1t is a miserable feeling of humiliation
to waken to the fact that you are a mean
covering slave 10 anything. Coffee is
useful drug in case of poisoning but il
should only be given, like any other drug
under the advice of a physician and for
an especial purpose.
People who use drug habitually be
come not only slaves but fanatics on the
subject How many coffee cranke one
sees and hears declaiming "Why. coffee
never hurts me-" and at the same time
perhaps limping with rheumatism or I'M
able TO run few steps or quickly mount
a pair of stairs without the ffutter OF
poor weak heart or The smothering sick
ish feeling that so plainly points to
a Coffee Heart.
Generally the coffee victim whom
coffee don't hurt Is of bad complexion.
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 in
sist that coffee don't hurt me-" Perhaps
some day he gets sick enough (and ne
will in time) to wake up and see what IS
killing him. Then comes the battle royal
Coffee acts like veritable slave driver
of old and forces its slave deeper and
deeper into subsection and misery There
is only one easy way to break the hahn
and get well 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 a 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-slave
is very marked and pronounced. Gener-
ally within days The sleep becomes
peaceful and the old troubles begin 10
back Of and show signs Of disappearing.
Ten days time brings return Of peace
and some degree Of comfort. a sure sign
that disease is going and health coming
