Drink At Meals

Tho real trouble with tea and uofïeo drinking is not generally understood. It is common knowledge with evei-y one that physicians advlse the diseontinuance oL both tea and toffee wéten a person la sick, particularly when the digestive maclilnery is aliected. Any person with a slight knowledge of chemistry can niüke the following experimenta, eecuiing the results as given. CoaguIated egg albumen wlien mixed witb artificial gastric juices, will practically be entirely digested in eight hours. When tea la added during the proeess of digestión. 6G per cent. of albumen will be digested, leaving 24 per cent. undigested, while if a decoction of coffee is mixed with the albumen, the result will be but 61 pur cent. digested and 39 per cent. undigested. This means one thing, and the experiment speaks that fact píjiinly. TVhen tea or coffee is take:i into the human stomach, they very seriously intèrlere with the natural and healthful operation. Where a perpon lias an exceedingly powerful digestive apparatus, he can stand this abuse for a time, but it is sure to teil sooner or later. In addition to the above it may be saiil that any ordinary analytical ehemist can analyze coffee and show the poisonous alkaloids of much the same character as found in s tryehnine, whisky, tol acco, and moiphnc. Jhess poisons have a direct effect upon the liver, and a furred tongue. costie 1 oweis, bad skin and various other ind'cations of approaching sick-ne.-s are apparent. These facts have have been recognized by physicians ior many years, but it is difficult to induce people to leave off their habits even when thosc liabits are shown to beinjurious and to shorten the exIstence of the human body. The manager of La Vita inn, a health institution at Batt'.e Creek, iiicli.. made a large number of experimente in the direction of a food drink tliai would be at once nourishing, paiatable and fragrant, without any o!' the poisonous or injurious properei'ties. His experiments were conliiioii to compounding and arranging producís of various cereals, or graius, snen as Avere intended by nature for mini's subsi-tence. Being in a posilion to note the effect of the beverago upon weak stomachs and pa"tlents -who needed the most nourishin.jf food and drink that could be obtaiiied, his experiments werê '.'onducteil uuder what would probably be considered the most f avomble eircumstnnces. After continued use and tbe most positive evidenee of the healthful proportion of the food drink patients vlio had teen healed wisheü to continue the use of the cereal drink after their return to their homes and others made demand for it. In order to supply this demand and the public genera'.ly, the Postuna Cereal Co., Limited, was formed. AH people who drink coffee and tea do not care to discontinue their use altliough quite satisfied of their iiurtful pioperties . ïhere are enough people however, in America who hold their health in high enough esteem to be willing to give a little attention to their food and drink. Xhere ia no habit the creature acquires whlch produces as much real enjoyment as the old-fashioned habit of being thorousihly 'well. When a man can inhalo a deep breath of pure air and fooi thai every part of the maehinery of the human body is working perfectly. the feoling of comfort produces a deep sense of easy content and thankfulness to the creator for the mere privilege of living. l'ostum Cereal is a thoroughly Iiealthful food drink. It can be takCii at every meal by all members oí the fatniiy, including the children. lt quiokly establlshes itself as an important part of the meal. and when left out, one misses the fragrant odor, the comïortiug flavor and the healthglying proporties. 3 lb. eoffee (30 cents) gives 0 to 45 cups. , 1 package l'ostum Cereal .25 r.ts.) g:es 100 cups. About 3 to 1 in favor of the Cereal. This item of economy is by no means the chief consideration. Health comfort, and red blood speak out sliongly for the natural drink. This pure food drink brews exactly the color of the richest coffee and has rnuch the same fragrance and ta&te, with none of the harmful properties.
