RIGHT HOME.
Doctor Recommends Postum from
Personal Test.

No one is better able to realize the
Injurious action of caffeine-the drug
in coffee-on the heart, than the doc
tor.
When the doctor himself has been
relieved by simply leaving OFF coffee
and using Postum, he can refer with
full conviction to his own case.
A Mo. physician prescribes Postum
for many of his patients because ne
was benefited by it. He says:
II wish to add my testimony in re-
gard to that excellent preparation
Postum. / have had functional or
nervous heart trouble for over 15
years, and part of the time was unable
to attend to my business.
II was moderate user of coffee and
did not think drinking it hurt me. But
on stopping it and using Postum in
stead, my heart has got all right, and
l ascribe it to the change from couee
to Postum.
81 am prescribing it now in cases OF
sickness, especially when coffee does
not agree. or affects the heart, nerves
or stomach.
when made right it has much
better flavor than coffee, and Is a vital
sustainer of the system. 1 snail con-
tinue to recommend it to our people,
and / have my own case to refer TO.

Water In EpIdemlcs.

The relation of water to germs and
epidemics is subject full of interest
from the standpoint of public hygiene.
In the Revue Scientiiique" DR.. Nal
-nejac discusses the whole subject of
the experiments which have been
made from 1885 to the present day to
test this question, and especially with
respect to Eberth's bacillus, which Is
that of typhus. All that is known of
this bacillus-its vitality, habits and
reproduction-is dwelt upon, with the
result of showing that it subsists long
er than any other in sterilized water.
DR.. Malmejac's conclusion is that wa
ter should be regarded as true am
bient for germs, and not as an acci-
dental channel and, above all, that
pathogeneous germs may live in water
for sufficient length of time to cause
epidemics.

"Tipsu Given by Monarchs.

King Edward disburses a good deal
OF money in tips every year. Each
