1T is generally observed, also, that the

now quite as bad rs the Croton water. This
has caused quite panic among the Teu-
tons and in some instances, habitual lager
beer drinkers have given up their favor

Much of the lager beer now on sale in this
city is an oily, dark brown liquid Of Il very
disacrecble bitter taste Instead Of quench-
ins thirst, like genuine lager beer, it affects
the nerves and gives rise IL a peculiar fever
ish state of the system. From the oily and
disaorceable bitter taste of the stuff, 1t would
appear that instead Of hops, some injurious
narcotic substances have been used in the
manufacture Of tho lager" 1t is also sta
ted that the Crotun water is not fit 10 make

lager is brewcd within the limits of this

value their character and custom. would
