Deleterious Effeete tf Coffee.
William M. Leesynsky, M. D.,
write* on the subject in the New
York Mepical .Recorder of Jan. 12.
He does not indiscriminately con-
demn coffee drinking, but ten
years’ investigation has satisfied
him that the abuae of coffee is a
widespread evil, and that it is at
the root of much of the oonaaaon

“nervousness, mental depression,
irritability, insomnia, sudden
‘starting,’ vertigo^ palpitation of
the heart, constipation,” etc. And
besides being often at the root of
these troubles, coffee is not sel-
dom the obscure cause (ft other
diseases. Dr. Leszynsky goes so
far as to say that “the habitual
daily indulgence in coffee even
in moderate quanity, by those who
are oversensitive to its action, in-
variably leads to persistent func-
tional disorder of the nervous
system, as well as to disturbance
digestion, which rapidly sub-
sides when it is discontinued. No
doubt’the. latter is often occasion-
ed by the addition of too n.uch
milk and sugar, which favors
the process of fermentation.
Whether or not the general nerv-
ous symptoms are to be consider-
ed secondary to-the disturbance of
digestion, further investigation
will determine.” Many neurotic
individual* are peculiarly auecep-
tible to the influence of coffee,
particularly to its effects on the
nervous system.
Many, the author says, show no
discretion in its use, and while we
all appreciate beneficial influences
in tiie economyy:“we are forced to
the conclusion that its thought-
less abuse inevitably results in
unpleasant consequences. It would
require a special paper to extol
the great medicinal value of coflee
for we all realize its excellence as
a therapeutic agent. Its univer-
sal use as a beverage, however,
greatly restricts its u -o1‘> I! i ium a- a
medicine. To the majority, iis
ta,-te and action are agreeable,
for others il i- really a poi-on . „
’The consumption ot c.oflee i i the
United State has increased from
(>32,941,912 p ninds in 1892 to
881,827,003 in 1899. The peo-
ple of tho United States cjiisume,
it is said, about one-third of the
total coffee production. From
this assumption (and there is no
valid reason to doubt its correct-
ness), we may account in a great
measure for the prevailing nerv-
ous characteristics of many of our
population, their increasing ment-
al activity and the actual accomp-
lishment of work that might other-
wise be impossible.—Exchango-

Washington, Feb. 20.—Minister Oon
ger has been instructed by cable to com-
municate to the foreign ministers at Pe
kin the feeling of the United Statei
government that further hostile expedi
tious should not be indulged in at thii
time. This action was taken by th«
state department after the cabinet dis-
cussion had developed the attitude ol
the administration.
The state department officials decline
to make public the text of the note.
However, it was said to be in perfect
accord with the policy already developed
and to make manifest the deep convio
tion of the United States government
that the proposed hostile expeditions art
in violation of the rights of the individ-
ual parties to the peace negotiations.
If the threat of military expeditions
is based upon a desire to force the Ohi
nese envoys to a speedier action upon
the ministerial proposals then it musl
be stated that our government disap-
proves, feeling that it has not yet been
demonstrated sufficiently that the Chi-
nese government is not acting to fclu
best of its ability.
Regarding the insistence of the for-
eign ministers on the position of the
death penalty upon the whole 'fist oi
proscribed officials it is recalled that the
Chinese agreed to administer the sever-
est jwssible punishment and it is con-
ceived here that it may be entirely im-
possible’ for that government to go tc
the length attempted by the ministers.
These considerations, are of course,
known to the foreign ministers in Pe-
kin, but it will be Mr. Conger’s duty tc
remind them of. their recommendation*
as to the engagements their govern-
ments entered into with the United
States as well as China and he will
point out that our attitude is iu exact
accordance with the outline laid down
in the formal notes preceding the begin-
ning of the negotiations.___
The United States government will
continue to deal with tho other power*
through their diplomatic agencies, ig-
noring the suggestion that the ministers
at Pekin have no control over the mili-
tary forces stationed their and carrying
out the same theory.
General Chaffee will act in thorough
harmony with any .suggestions made by
Mr. Conger.
Continent of Acceptance.
Pekin, Feb. 20.—Prince Ching and Li
Hung Chang have received a telegram
which virtually means that the Chinese
will comply with tho demands of the
powers, although they still desire in-
formation on a few minor details. The
foreign envoys looks confidently to ab-
solute compliance.
Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang
have been greatly worried'by the prepa-
rations for tho expedition into the in-
terior and they have strongly urged the
court to yield, pointing out that other-
wise tho dismemberment of the empire
was probable.
Conger Protested In Vain.
Washington,! Feb. 20.—During the
cabinet meeting Tuesday a cablegram
from Minister Conger was submitted
referring to the proposed military expo-
tion in China under the command oi
Count von Waldersee. It disclosed the
fact that onr minister had protested to Tftr Wjm. r Bulm- haH done

Your Kidneys,
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil-
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they ardsick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, aches and rheu-
matism come from ex-
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney-
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only uriqary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin-
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
