assets. but some slight hitch is understood to
have occurred when the negotiations We're all

been called off. greatly 10 the disappointment of
the OrientaFs depositors.
Nothing daunted by this failure. however. Mr

COFFEE DRINKING
A Doctor Says II Weakens the Hear,

"In my opinion" says a well known
German physician, mo one can truth
fully say that coffee agrees with him,
as 1t has long since been proven that
caffeine, contained in coffee, is an in
furious, poisonous substance which
weakens and degenerates the heart
muscles.
For this reason the regular use Of
coffee. soon OF late, causes a condition
of undernourishment, which leads to
various kinds of organic disease.
Convinced of this fact, I have often
sought for some healthful beverage to
use instead of coffee. At last / found
the thing desired in Postum. Having
had occasion to forbid people using
coffee, whose hearts were affected. /
have recommended Postum as a bev-
erage, since 1t is free from all injuri-
GUS or exciting substances. ] know
this from results In my own family,
and among patients.
Hundreds Of persons who now use
Postum In place Of coffee, are greatly
benefited. thereby" There's a Reason"
