In fact, after having studied the matter a bit it will
come plain that if you are a coffee-drinker the chances
are that some form of incipient or perhaps fixed organic
disease due TO coffee has set in-conStipation, rheumat-
ism, eve trouble, nervous headaches, nervous prostration
or Others of the well-proven coffee ills. One can decline
to look the thing squarely in the face and peg along with
the coffee.
