Coffee blots out the sunshine from
many a home by making the mother,
or some other member of the house
hold, dyspeptic. nervous and irritable.
There are thousands of cases where
the proof is absolutely undeniable.

early age. and also at an early age be-
came a victim to headaches. and as |
grew to womanhood these headaches
became part of me. as l was scarcely
ever free from them.
