All Drank Coffee From Infancy.

1t is common thing in this country
to see whole families growing up with
nervous systems weakened by coffee

That is because many parents do
not realize that coffee contains a drug
-caHeine-which causes the trouble.
tJhe same drug is found in tea
There are five children in my fam
iy," writes an Iowa mother, "an of
whom drank coffee from infancy up
TO two years ago.

did so and began to use Postum We
now are doing without medicine and
are entirely relieved of heart trouble.
Caffeine causes heart trouble when

Our eleven-year-old boy had n weak
digestion from birth, and yet always
craved and was given coffee. When
we changed to Postum he liked it and
We gave him all he wanted. He has

CRITIC OF THE GERM THEORY

Some Pertinent Remarks to
Make on the Subject.

No inconsiderable body of physf
clans and these not of any one school,
many even of the regular profession,
are beginning seriously to question
whether germs" are the greatest, or,
as some hosd, the only cause of dis
ease. The United States department
of agriculture has issued bulletin

teurizing milk so as TO kill the dis

est suspicion that their tactical prod

mental causes not recognized by the
theorists, If milk will cause disease,
will heating make it wholesome? If
milk is pure. will not heating cause 1t
