WHY TEA RELIEVES WORRY A FAMOUS DOCTOR'S DICTUM Tha refreshing awl recuperative influence of tea on mind and body is known to everyone ; though probably the reason why it bo operates is not I fully understood by one person in a J hundred. Dr S. W. «*keby, M.J). F.R. £., Edin., takes the opportunity, ol his recently published boo'< ; ''Worry, the Disease of Ago,", to furw«*h the season, and his exposition should prove interesting to all who "love the cup that cheers." - The principal constituent ol tea, it seems, is colter inc. According to Dr Saleeby, caffeine favours the lit« oj the body, promotes the processes ol combustion on which life depends, increases vitality, and that power to [work which is the expression ol vitality Anil so it is that a cup ol tea is refreshing, producing renewed vigour, svnd heightening the organic sense ol well-being and the consciousness ol litness'and"capacity. This action is Utterly distinct from that ol alcohol or opium in deadening tha sense ol "i----being. Tea antagonises the sense ol ill-bein«r not by deadening cWs conscioumesM of it, but by two pos Uvo substitution for it of that sense U ■well-toeing which is thd index ol vitality. It relieves worry .sot IJ a temporary and actually nutritive and los : toring submergence of it, but by attacking its causes. Anil it diners U-n----ilomontally from all the in ■that it docs not iPi-oduce .a nioed >or a continuous' increase of the des-.-r' But while commending tea so lug«i> Dr Saleeby warns his readers against two common practices of lea tlncw'--iFirstis the mistake of infusug tsa »0 O long. An infusion which Usts , nl.v a few' minutes is quite sulhcicnt to extract the caffeine with its guodyuiiths, and it is not sufficient to release tbn -tannin with its-bad qualities. The use Of poor te a is the second way in wtoiohharm can be done b.V the bovcra-e. Too much stress cannot be laid on the necessity for getting tea which is guaranteed pure. 'Tiger tea is guaranteed free from, admixture ot any kind, and is composed solely of ilvj choicest growths of tea leaves. 01 all teas sold in the Dominion vndispuU oUy none is more rich ifchan Tiger Pea in. the- healthful properties which go <bo relieve what Dr Soleeby calls "The Disrates of the Age—Worry.''
