Any lady reader of this paper will receive, on request, a clever “NoDrip” Coffee Strainer Coupon privilege, from Dr. Shoop, Racine, Wis. It is silver-plated, very pretty, and positively prevents all dripping of tea or coffee. The Doctor sends it, with his new free book on “Health Coffee” simply to introduce this clever substitute for real coffee. Dr. Shoop’s Health Coffee is gaining its great popularity because of: first, its exquisite taste and flavor; second, its absolute healthfulness; third, its economy—l%lb. 25c; fourth, its convenience. No tedious 20 to 30 minutes boiling. “Made in a minute*’ says Dr. Shoop. Try it at your grocer’s, for a pleasant surprise. John Eger.
