COFFEE PARALYSIS.
A Well Defined Case.
Coffee paralysis is not counmou, hut
there are more cases where |h
vou victim keeps up the cof
fee until the trouble is chronic and
incurable.
On the other hand there are many
cases where leaving off the coffee aud
drinking Postum Food Coffee in its
place has resulted in complete and
speedy cures as in the following:
“For several years i was in an alarm
ing condition and had consulted every
physician ini our town besides three
visiting specialists. My trouble baf
fled them all, hut their different
verdicts frightened me and the treat
ment proposed, was long and tedious
and very expensive. My husband had
already spent a small fortune trying
to help mo and the last effort was
a S2O experiment which did no good.
“My trouble was a lna.lt paralyzed
sensation that would creep over uio
especially at night, commencing in
my arms aud shoulders and down to
my left side and was followed by
terrible pains and prickly sensations
that is beyond descriiption. My hand
would puff up and feci like
groat lumps so thick and heavy aud
unnatural. 1 could do absolutely no
work of any kind.
“it was then that my mother per
suaded me that my condition was lar
gely due to the use of coffoo of which
1 was a great lover. She knew what
leaving off coffee aud taking ou Pos
tu had in her oiwu case and she fin
ally persuaded mo to make the saino
shift, which 1 did without much faith,

To my everlasting surprise the change
was wonderful for all my old com
plaints soon lessoned and are now
completely gone. Tho terrible feel
ing aud sensation that 1 cannot des
cribe have stopped completely and I
fe>ei as if new, rich red blood was
flowing through my veins bringing

“All of this 1 know is due to my

Tokio , Oct. 2(l.—Baron do Rosen,
th(e Russian minister, and Foreign
Minister Komoiru, resumed the con
ference today , The Japanese cabinet
aiso held another conference.
Premier Katsura, in an interview to
day said he deeply regretted the sent
sational reports circulated, which, im
added, are unfounded.
Referring to the diplomatic situa
tion he said: -
“The Japanese government persued
its negotiations in strict accordance
with tiie spirit ol the Angio-Japaneso
alliance which aims at the preserva
tion of peace aud the status quo. it
is only fair to presume that Russia
is actuated by the same peaceful spir
it iu which the dual alliance is ox
tended in the Far Least. I, there
fore, tail to see why the present ne
gotiations should not lead toi mutually
satisfactory results, in any case noth
ing in the present situation warrants
any alarm.’’
The Russian minister at Scops h;i*

Russia to Consult with France.
Paris, Oct. 27.—The foreign office
lias been advised that the Russian,
foreign minister, M. Lansdorff, lias re
vised his plans and that he now ex
pects to arrive in Paris tomorrow and
remain until Saturday: conferring with
Foreign Minister Del Cusse om ques-
tions relating to the east and Far,
Fast. Much importance is being at
tached by the officials hero to; th.q
meeting. They connect it with tha
attitude of the powers in the Balkan
question and with the strained Rus
sian-Japanese situation. While the
officials will not discuss the exact na
ture of the conference, they say it
will doubtless coiver nil the phases of
the Franco-Russian relations. Dur
ing the present strained relations be
tween Japan and Russia the under
standing lias prevailed here that the
Franco-Russian alliance hau Ihe same
operation in the Far Fast as in Fu
rope, hut the extent of French sym
pathy in support of Russia would de
pend on who was the aggressor.
No Alarm in Washington.
Washington,, Oct. 27.—Owing to the
failure to receive reports from th,
agents of this government in Russia,
Japan or Korea touching the reported
imminence of war, the officials are in
clined to the belief that the situa
tio is not really critical it appears
that the embassies and legations here
of the powers concerned arc equally
ignorant of warlike developments and
in answer to inquiries it if stated that
the only information that they liava
is contained in, the press reports, 'i lia
itussian ambnssey is at present in
charge of Mr. Hansen, one of tha
secretaries. Count Cassini, it is
stated, will start on his return la
Washington from Ft Petersburg next
Monday.
