COFFEE DRINKING
A Doctor Say. 1t Weaken. the Heart

''1n my opinion" says a well known
German physician. mo one can truth.
fully say that coffee agrees with him.
as It has long since been proven that
caffeine. contained In coffee. is an in
furious. poisonous substance which
weakens and dcgeneratcs the hear,
muscles.
For this reason the regular Use oi
coffee. soon or late. causes a condition
of undcrnourishment. which leads to
various kinds of organic disease.
Convinced of this fact. have often
sought for some heaithful beverage &c
use instead of coffee. At last ! found
the thing desired In Postum. Having
had occasion to forbid people using
coffee. whose hearts were affected. J
have recommended Postum as bev.
erage. since II is free from all injuri
ous or exciting substances. I know
this from results In my own family
and among patients.
Hundreds of persons who now use
Postum in place of coffee. are Ereatl,

The fixed star which. according to
the knowledge we have. is nearest to
the earth is 100000 astronomical units

unit is the mean distance OF the sun
