THE OLD PLEA
He "Didn't Know It Was Loaded"

The coffee drinker seldom realizes
that coffee contains the drug, caffeine,
severe poison to the heart and
nerves, causing many forms of dis
ease, noticeably dyspepsia.
II was lover of coffee and used 1t
for many years, and did not realize the
bad effects l was suffering from its
use. (Tea is Just as injurious as cof-
fee because 1t, too, contains caffeine,
the same drug found in coffee.)
"At first was troubled with indiges-
ton. l did not attribute the trouble
to the use OF coffee, but thought it
arose from other causes. With these
attacks / had sick headache, nausea
and vomiting. Finally my stomach
was in such condition l could scarce.
ly retain any food.
II consulted physician; was told
all my troubles came from indiges-
ton, but was not informed what
caused the Indigestion. ! kept on with
the coffee, and kept on with the trou-
bles, too, and my case continued to
grow worse from year to year until it
developed into chronic diarrhea, nau-
sea and severe attacks of vomiting. l
could keep nothing on my stomach and
became mere shadow, reduced from
1859 to 1913 pounds.
"A specialist informed me I had a
very severe case Of catarrh of the
stomach, which had got so bad he
could do nothing for me, and / became
convinced my days were numbered.
Then CHANGED to see an article set.

pie so I concluded to give Postum a
trial. / soon saw the good effects-my
headaches were less frequent, nausea
and vomiting only came on at long In
tervals and was soon q changed man,
feeling much better.
Then l thought 1 could stand coffee
again, but as soon as l tried it my old
troubles returned and ! again turned
to Postum. Would you believe it,

future citizens to adopt American
styles. He had just landed at the Bat

off his crisp black locks, and a long,
heavy ulster tapped at his heels. But,

head, and toyed with by the biting
winds that swept in from the sea, was
brand-new American straw hat-a
