USE AND ABUSE OF COFFEE.

In the light Of the data that have been
accumulated I'm respect To tho physiologi-
ica action OF coffee II may safely be
affirmed that Il is not injurious when
used moderately by reasonably healthy
people. with the neurasthenic and the
dyspeptc II is somewhat different pat-
ter While alarming symptoms have fol
lowed the ingestion Of enormous quaint
ties. there is no evidence that fatally
toxic effects have ever ensued. Coffee Is
a mild stimulant and the effects are
rather transient. The moderate use OF
coffee will not make a well man sick.
Such moderate use will not occasion dis
agreeable symptoms In tho healthy. such
as insomnia headache, nervousness, 10
drowsness palpitatlon. dyspepsia, YER
tigo. etc on the other hand Il will OBJ
yiate or relieve fatigue.
We do not consider coffee a necessary
concomitant OF civilized life which some
extremists claim II TO be. To our minds
n is rather luxury which It is not nee
essary TO dispense with unless one is
compelled TO do so as a part OF the at
tempt TO combat the increasing cost Of
living As to the moderate use OF any OF
the things which We INCEST the same
principles apply. Even such n valuable
substance as milk has To he imblbed
