Not Injurious Whan Used Moderately by Persons In Health. lu tbe light of the data that bave been seen mu lu led In respect to tbe physiological action of coffee It may safely lie affirmed that it Is not lu- jurlous when used moderately by rea- sonablv healthy people, With the neurasthenic and tbe dyspeptic It Is a somewhat different matter While nlnrming symptoms have followed the ingestion of enormous quantities, there 1« no evidence that fatally toxic effects have ever ensued. Coffee is a mild stimulant, and the effects are rather transient. Tbe mod 1 erate use of coffee will not make a well man sick. Such moderate use will not occasion disagreeable symp toms I d tbe healthy, such as Insomnia, headache, nervousness, drowsiness, palpitation, dyspepsia, vertigo, etc. On the other hand, it will obviate or re lieve fatigue. | We do not consider coffee a neces sary concomitant of civilized life, which some extremists claim It to be.

Tbe abuses at auctions, caused by combi nations of brokers to bld up tbe offer- logs, led to tbe adoption of stringe l : regulation In America auctioneers of a certain class bare also been guilty of manj Impositions on tbe public.
