Coffee drinkers often suffer from head?
ache, nervousness, indigestion, biliousness,
heart irritation and other symptoms of ill
health?due to "caffeine," the drug in their
coffee.
The cause is often not understood

One can get relief from the ills caused
by coffee by quitting it for 10 days and
using
A pure, palatable food beverage
that tastes much like high-grade Java

If the ten days' trial shows you some facts,
perhaps you may conclude it's worth more

Nausea as Result of Caf?

PHILADELPHIA, May 11.?Serious
results have followed the feeding of caf?
feine, a drug lurking in chocolate a-* well
as coffee, to the eight student members of
the "poison squad" of the llahncmann
Medical College hue. All have been sub?
ject to severe headaches and serious at?
tack* of nau-e.i, while one member <>f the
squad was in such a serious condition
after taking the caffeine-laden water for
the fir?t twenty days that he had to he
placed in a special ward in the hospital,
lie received constant attention, has re?
covered and at the college is said to have
rejoined the squad.
The "poison squad" at the II ihhcmann
College was formed v< ry quietly. It came
into existence on March I, and is
under the direct supervision of Dr. Ed?
mund T. Nesbit. director of the Hering
laboratory of the college.
Dr. Nesbit called h>> volunteers from
among the students, lie said he wanted
men who were willing to do something for
the benefit of humanity at large, even*
though it might be to their "'.vn discom?
fiture. Twenty-five students volunteered.
Of these fourteen of the most perfect
physically were chosen, eleven as regular
members of the squad and three as alter?
nates. * * * * * * *
For thirty days the members of the
squad were given doses of caffeine .while
Dr. Nesbit and his assistant i made per?
sonal observations, taking the pulses and
temperature of the mcmbi rs of the squad
and making notes on their general physi?
cal condition. It Was not until within
the last few days that one u ember of the
M]Uad weakened under the i xperimcnt to
such an extent that it was necessary to
send him to the hospital Dr. Nesbit
refuses to reveal the name if?thc student
who collapsed, but declare that through
proper treatment immediately he soon
recovered. * * * *
The caffeine was administered in a
solution and was mixed v. ith I he water the
squad drank. 'I he studi \iU did not know
when they were getting the caffeine.
There were no stated limes for giving it,
in orrler to keep the mind ol the student
free from wony in order thai the physical
i ondition might not be chant i 'i materially
through the action 'if the brain.
Uef?re joining the "poison quad'' each
student had to sign.a release against any .
action for damages against college.
The laboratory was organized about
fifteen month- ago with I >.- Nesbit as
director, and almost immediately an ex?
haustive .tudy was started to ascertain
the destructive qualities ol >affeinc as
used in food stuffs. * * * *

tho boys are both of a bolter sort than
those In Goodman's play?better at

a most wonderful reader, played It,
with gentle, quiet dignity and tendot
authority. It was very beautiful.
Several changes In tho company mark
the beginning- of the sixth week of Its

gone, hair and all, and Herbert Curtis,
a bettor aictor, has boon ongaged In his
stead. As "walking ladles and gents"
thoro have been employed thoso ster?
ling players, tho Misses Crawford, Sir.
Pillow and Mr. Render, who add Im?
mensely to the numerical strength of
tho company, as shown In full In tii>;
first act. Indeed, ono MU3 Crawford
played tho bit of a maid very accept?
ably. Then, Instead of tho temporarily
? departed trombone. Mr. Wagner, who
played the bass viol when Jefferson
I was In Block at tho old Richmond The
ate, has returned with his welcome In?
strument Miss Neville Is still with
tho company, but plays only a bit very
properly.
Miss La Verne essays the role made
famous by Mrs. Lo Moyne. and little
.Miss Patton has the Ingenue part of
the sweetheart of the younger of the
two boys, while Miss Ucurlmo plays
"opposite" the elder. Mr. Tcuchoul.
who gave such a lino performance of the
servant in "The Prince Chap," Is not
well lined with tho rolo or the mother's
ol.l adorer, but plays smoothly and con?
scientiously.
Roth Mr. Scott and Mr. Mathews. who
represented tho two boys, wore excet
lent?us excellent as they were In
"Mother." Mr. Scott has a sad, rather
wearied expression, which peculiarly
lits him for roles or this character,
while Mr. Mathews has s.. much genu?
ine talent as n "straight" light come?
dian that he should succeed In faster
company, after ho has whipped himself
out of his Wiggling walk.
Lo rimer Johnstonc, the stage direc?
tor, appeared In tho character of an
old< rly father, suitor and guardian,
and played It In the manner of the old
school, with a carefully poised pose for
every word spoken by, or to. himself.

able to perform, owing to the illness
