FEWER MEDICAL SCHOOLS.
I)ecrrnp Al Reported In Nnmlicr
of Stnrtcnt.
There aro fourteen fower medical
schools In tho United Stntes than thero
were a year ago; l.AV fower persons
studied medicine In 1913 than In 1912; and
there was a decrenso of tOO In tho num
ber of medical graduates, according to
figures compiled at the United States bu
reau of education.
Tho reduction In tho number of medical
schools Is part of a steady movement for
Improved medical education that has been
going on for tho last eight or nine years.

various stato medical societies and other
agencies havo aroused publlo opinion to

ratstd considerably. Of tho 101 medical
schools now listed at the bureau, fifty
threo aro requiring one or more years of
cdllege work hh a prerequisite to entering
upon tho study of medicine. State exam
ining boards In North Dakota, lown,
Minnesota, Colorndo, tndlana. South Da
kota and Kentucky have introduced regu.
latinns. In most cases to be niudo cffeC'
tlvo within a your or two, providing that
every applicant for a liccnso to practice

course, before oven beginning medical
training. A similar requirement covering
ono year of collego work will soon bo

cut, Kansas, Utah, Vermont, Pennsyl

ing mcdlclno has Increased. In 1912 there
wero" 18,451 medical students, of whom 712

And Some Cannot
Drink Coffee Without Dangerous Results
But if you intend to win out in lifo you will need a clearor head and steadier
nerves than tho coffeo drinker usually has. k
Coffeo contains caffeine, a subtle, poisonous drug, and its use as a daily routine
beverage causes more or less disturbance of nerves, heart, stomach, liver or somo
other organ. This may not show for a timo, but tho coffo drug, caffoino (about 2Va
grains to tho cup) is a cumulative poison and, for most porsons, a day of reckoning
will surely come.
But why wait until Nature drives homo hor arguments against coffeo T Try
this easy test quit coffeo 10 days and try POSTUM.
After a few days tho habit-forming drug, caffeine, will bo eliminated from tho
system, and tho gradual return to old-time comfort will bo tho best evidence that cof
feo was "getting you." ,
There's no headache or pains of any kind in Postum. It is a pure food-drink,
mado only of choice wheat and a little Now Orleans molasses, and is absolutely free
from caffeine or any other drug.
Postum now comes in two forms.
Regular Postum must bo well boiled to bring out its delicious flavour and
food value.
Instant Postum .(the now form) is ai soluble powdor. A spoonful stirred in a
cup of hot water, with sugar and cream added, makes a perfect cup, instantly.
The person who has to bother with coffeo aches and pains is badly handicapped,
but it's easy to shift to
POSTUM
