GLASS OF THE ANCIENTs.

The glassblovers OF ancient Thebes

They are we'll acquainted with the
art Of staining glass and are known to
have produced that commodity in
great profusion and perfection. Ros-

signs struck entirely in pieces from
half inch to three quarters of an inch
thick, the color being perfectly incor-
porated with the structure of the piece
and exactly the same on both the OBJ
verse and reverse sides.
The priests of Ptah at Memphis were
adopts in the glassmaker's art, and not
only did they have factories for manu-,
featuring the common crystal variety,
but they had learned the vitrifying of
the different colors and the imitation
of precious stones to perfection. Their
limitations Of the amethyst and of the
various other colored gems were so
true to nature that even now, after
they have lain in the desert sands from
2,000 to 1000 years, it takes an expert
to distinguish the genuine article from
the spurious. 1t has been shown that,
besides being experts in glassmaking

KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case Fol
Time.

It's easy to understand how ordinary
people get fooled by coffee when doc
tors themselves sometimes forget the
facts.
A physician speaks of his own expert
ence:
81 had used coffee for years and
really did not exactly believe it was in
juring me. although 1 had palpitation
of the heart every day.
"Finally one day a severe and almost
fatal attack of heart trouble frightened
me and I gave up both tea and coffee,
using Postum instead, and since that
time / have had absolutely no heart
palpitation except on one or two occa-
sions when 1 tried a small quantity of
coffee which caused severe irritation
and proved to me I must let it alone.
"Wben we began using Postum it
seemed weak-that was because we
did not make it according to directions
but now we put a little bit of butter
in the pot when boiling and allow the
Postum to boil full 10 minutes, which
gives it the proper rich flavor and the
deep brown color.
81 have advised a great many of my
friends and patients to leave off coffee
and drink Postum, in fact, daily give
this advice" Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Greek, Mich.
Many thousands of physicians use
Postum in place of tea and coffee in
their own homes and prescribe it to
patients There's a reason"
