Look to the Coffee
"In all eaaet of to-called neurasthenia, the coffee-drinking
of the patient should be inquired into. What hat been
said about coffee alto holdt good in regard to tea,"
tayt a phytician of note. .
More and more, people are coming to know that the coffee and tea habits are
responsible for a large percentage of those nervous disorders classed under the head
of "neurasthenia," or nervous prostration. '
Both coffee and tea contain the drug, caffeine, a powerful irritant of the nerves.
They, also contain tannin an astringent which acts most unfavorably upon the
intestinal walls. Headache, " nerves," insomnia, biliousness these are some of the
signs of caffeine poisoning.
Many coffee and tea drinkers are learning that the way to health is by quitting
coffee and tea; and for a pleasant, healthful drjnk', using
-the pure food-drink.
This delightful table beverage is made of whole
wheat roasted with a little wholesome molasses; it con
tains only the nourishing properties of the grain.
Looks and tastes like mild, high-grade .coffee, but is
absolutely free from afty harmful ingredient.
