UNDER the above heading a leading London daily quotes from a Preston medical practitioner on the evils of tea, as follows:—

“I firmly believe that the moderate and reasonable use of beer as a beverage is less harmful than the same use of tea, and that immoderate tea drinking causes more pain, suffering, ill health, and nervous breakdown than the excessive consumption of beer. If a man takes too much beer, its effects are gross and palpable. If a man takes too much tea, the results are quite as deadly, or even more so, but as they are insidious, and not generally apparent, they are put down to some other cause.”
