Hygienic Coffee Drinking.

Professor Zenor Kramberg, a wellknown German scientist, has just written an Interesting article on hy gienic coffee drinking. The professor first discusses the question as to whether coffee, tea and tobacco are to be considered as poison, and comes to the conclusion that their Influence upon healthy people Is not noxious as long as consumed in reasonable quantities, but that all the three have a more or less pernicious effect upon feeble persons. Herr Kramberg says that coffee should not be taken right before or after meals, but best some time in the afternoon. He considers four cups a day the maximum, and says that six cups or more in a day will soon affect the general health. Children should not be given any tea or coffee, he declares, and goes on to say that little children who have been accustomed to either of these drinks soon show signs of nervousness.
