The Coffee Habit

A woman was brought into the police court the other day, requiring two policemen to restrain her,—temporarily insane from drinking too much coffee. Twenty cups a day had done the work. The judge let her go free, and she went to the mountains for rest, promising to try to rid herself of the coffee habit. One reason why people like coffee and tea is because of the intoxicating principle, thein, found in both. It is not needed in the human system; and thousands can testify, after years of experience as tea and coffee drinkers and as abstainers, that the life of abstinence is the better.
