A minister's wife had quite tussle

teresting. She says:
During the two years OF my train

became addicted to coffee drinking. Be
tween midnight and four in the morn
ing, when the patients were asleep.
there was little to do except make the
rounds, and 1t was quite natural that
l should want good, hot cup Of cof-
fee about that time. 1t stimulated me
and I could keep awake better.
After three or four years of coffee
drinking I became a nervous wreck
and thought that simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
I was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks. sometimes SO severe as to keep
me in bed for several days.
After being married, Husband
begged me to leave of coffee for he
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, SO I resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
