HOW COCA COLA RsFREsHsa

The remarkable success which has
attended the sale of Coca Cola has been
explained in many different ways. Some
have attributed 1t to good advertis-
Ing" others to efficient management"
others to the fact that 1t was the first In
the field of "trade-marked" soft drinks.
In this connection, the opinion OF
manufacturing chemist who has analyz-
ed Coca-Cola and studied its history for
many years, will prove interesting. He
attributes the popularity Of the drink
in largo part to its quality Of refresh
ing both mind and body without pro-
ducing any subsequent depression.
HePoints out the fact that the chemical
i composition of Coca-Cola is practically
identical with that of coffee and tea
with sugar added) the only material
difference being the absence of tannic
acid from Coca-Cola. He points to the
laboratory experiments of DR.. Hor1ing-
worth of Columbia University and Of
DR.. II. G. Wood, Jr of Philadelphia
which prove conclusively that the caf
feine.containing beverages (coffee, tea,
Coca-Cola, etc.) relieve mental and mus
cular fatigue by rendering the nerves
and muscles more responsive to the
WILL thus diminishing the resistance
produced by fatigue. These expert
ments also demonstrate. the fact that
the caffeine group of beverages differ
from the stimulants in that the use Of
the latter is followed by period OF de-
preston which calls for more stimula.
