IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE The Whole Truth About Coffee FOR more than three years the Massachusetts Insti tute of Technology has been making an exhaustive investigation of Coffee. This investigation was made at the invitation of the Coffee trade of the United States to determine by scientific research the whole truth about Coffee and Coffee making, and it was one of the most thorough investigations ever made of any food product. The result of this scientific research, as announced by Professor Samuel C. Prescott, Director of the Institute’s Department of Biology and Public Health, shows that Coffee is a wholesome, helpful, satisfying drink for the great majority of people. The report covers many hundreds of pages, for every, aspect of Coffee and Coffee making was studied, but in just one paragraph of ninety-two words Professor Prescott has swept aside all the did prejudices and superstitions, and given Coffee the cleanest bill of health that could be wished. He says:. “It may be stated that, after weighing the evidence, a ' dispassionate evaluation of the data so comprehensively surveyed has led to no alarming conclusions that coffee is an injurious beverage for the great mass of human beings, but on the contrary that the history of human experience, as well as the results of scientific experimen tation, point to the fact that coffee is a beverage which, properly prepared and rightly used, gives comfort and inspiration, augments mental and physical activity, and may be regarded as the servant rather than the destroyer of civilization." This statement, coming from such an unquestioned scientific authority, should be a source of satisfaction and relief to every true lover of Coffee and should establish, for all time, the fact that Coffee is a whole some drink for the great mass of human beings.
