hearts of many persons is well known
by physicians to be caused by caffeine.
This is the drug found by chemists in
coffee and tea.
A woman suffered a long time with
severe heart trouble and finally her
doctor told her she must give up cof-
fee, as that vas the principal cause of
the trouble. She writes:
my heart was SO weak e could not
do it's work properly. My husband
would sometimes have to carry me
from the table, and it would seem that
l would never breathe again.

causing the weakness of my heart. He

Jenkins wife was away on a visit.
Now, jenkins was a very busy man.

keen appetite of an enthusiastic lover.
But to wade through long, drawn
out letter of Is pages was to him an
utter waste of time and eyesight.
So one day his heart danced with
delight at the receipt of the follow
