COCA COLA HABIT, A GHOST.

We have all heard of ghosts, but none
OF us have ever seen one. It's the same
way with coca cola "fiends" you can
hear about them but you might search
for them until doom's day and you
would never find one. Physicians who
have treated hundreds of thousands of
drug habit cases. including opium. NOR
phine, cocaine, alcohol, &c, say that
they have never seen a case where the
use OF Coca-Cola has SO fastened itself
upon the individual as to constitute a
habit in the true sense of the word. AL
though millions of glasses of Coca-Cola
are drunk every year. no Coca-Cola
fiends have ever made themselves Wis
ible at the doors of the sanitariums for
the treatment OF drug habits.
The Coca-Cola habit is analogous to
the beefsteak habit and to the straw.
berry habit and the ice cream habit.
People drink Coca-Cola first because
they see it advertised and thereafter
because it tastes good and refreshes
their minds and bodies. They drink II
when they can get it and contentedly
do without 1t when they can't get 1t.
II you had ever witnessed the rawlings
of a real drug fiend when deprived OF
his drug. If you had ever observed the
agony he suffers, YOU would never
again be so unfair as TO mention Coca
Cola in the same breath with the
habit forming" drugs.-Adv.

that bird of which he had had great

was a case of roup-a very infectious
trouble. Accordingly he wired TO the
girl:

ECZEMA ON ENTIRE SCALP

with a sore on the top OF the scalp,
broke out as pimple and grew larger
until 1t was a large red spot with a

larger finally covering the entire scalp
and spread to different parts of the
body, the limbs and back and in the

and If scratched they would bleed and
smart. The clothing would irritate
them at night when it was being re-
