“Adolph Hitler suffers from insomnia, and although specialists from many countries have tried to overcome his ■ trouble they have not been able to do so,” said Dr. Ulric Williams, of Wanganui, when speaking in the Theatre Royal. “Every day of his life Hitler drinks sixteen cups of strong black coffee, and each cup contains from three grains to twenty grains of caffein. The medical dose of caffein is about three grains, but Hitler takes up to three hundred grains a day. Caffein is a strong stimulant to the heart, and the dose that Hitler takes is the cause of his insomnia. Who knows? It might be the cause of the present war. If he were to slop drinking so much coffee he would overcome his insomnia.”
