average per cent. OF beer in this country
seldom reaches two anda half. He considered
that man above twenty years could not lie
made drunk with lager beer of two and IL
half per cent. unless he filled his stomach
within five minutes. Half a dozen Tcutons
swore that they could drink thirty glasses Il
day without getting intoxicated. William

fifty glasses OF lager beer in a single day
and never got drunk. Witness said, with
