The Meal-time Drink.

A Very Important Factor In the Produciluu of wleeaee. Little do tfce tkousSnds of American people of today, who are addicted to Ale insidious habit-ot coffee and tdtt drinking, realize now seriously they are undermining the human structure and paying the way tor future development of disease, and all through the force of habit. It is a habit, just as much so as that of alcoholic stimulants. In fact, the same poisonous alkaloids abide in coffee and tda«S in whisky, alcohol, tobacco, morphine, etc., though not so deadly in character, perhaps, but sufficiently harmful to produce numerous diseases of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, palpitation of the neart, nervousness, etc. It is fast becoming a habit second only to that of alcoholism. Doubtless, there are those who are loath to. believe that the use of these beverages has ever affected their health in any way, though they often complain from the very same disorders of which coffee and tea drinking are the direct cause. They attribute their ailments of the stomach, liver, nerves, etc., to the organs themselves, but never dream or the cause of such Organic derangement. Each concoction of poison administered to the nervous system by the use of coffee or tea, is like adding fuel to the flame, and hence the functional disturbances and finally organic disease. They are the real cause of more sickness than is generally supposed. The fact that Dr. Martin, being a physician, and fully aware of the harmful effects of coffee and tea, led him to experimenting and he finally produced the first cereal coffee ever discovered, the now famous Dr. Martin’s, Nervine Coffee, the new food substitute for coffee, absolutely pure, unadulterated preparation of the choicest grains, gluten and rich cereals, nature’s own products. These he has so Harmoniously compounded as, to produce a delightful, healthrul and deli-'* , cious coffee-like beverage, which does not contain a particle of ordinary coffee nor dangerous drags, like many cheap, so-called substitutes. in order to give them a coffee flavor. It is the original substitute, all others are imitations. Perfectly harmless and can befreely given to children or invalids. It makes the nerves strong and the health rug- 1 ged. One pound goes further than tWo of ordinary coffee or other substitutes, making it an economical as well as a healthrul drink. Sold by all grocers, i lb. 20c, 2 lbs. 35c.
