Dr. William M. Lesynsky of New York says: “Coffee, when well prepared, is beyond question one of the ambrosial luxuries of modern life. It would be as wrong to condemn its use indiscriminately as it would be to deny that under certain conditions it is harmful.

“The importation of coffee into the United States amounted in recent years to about 750,000,000 pounds a year. The importations have been increasing disproportionately to the increase in the population of the country. The price of coffee has also gone down steadily. All these things indicate a steadily increasing consumption of coffee which calls for attention from those who have responsibility for the diets of the people.
