ERRORS IN DIET.
'The truth is, that errors in diet become a fixed habit, to which the system will cling, notwithstanding injurious results. Tea and coffee are unnatural stimulants, and when one has used them for thirty, forty, or fifty j-ears, the habit is fixed, and nature, true to her purpose of preserving life at all hazards, proceeds to adjust the system to the intruder in the most favourable manner. Physiologists explain that a dose of poison strong enough to kill instantly may be divided into small doses, and taken at intervals, and the effect not be noticeable at the time, but that it becomes cumulative in effect; though it takes much longer, it does its full work in time. —'How Nature Cures,' by Enimet-Densmore, M.D.
