New Haven, Conn, five years ago to ''layst

since--at Ben Valiquettes ind
Rutland. On cross examination he said !,
that he supposed he drank lager beer In \
New Haven. lie was playing cards in q
lager beer saloon and called for lager beer,
and supposed that was what was brought

drank all the forenoon and left at noon
drunk. Had been used TO English ale in
the army and knew IL was not that he
drank should think lager beer was flatter
than English ale, but couldn't describe the
difference in the taste more definitely than
that.

Drs. Adams, Allen, Goldsmith, Haynes,
Hanrahsn, Mead, Pond and Porter were

sitting opposite the jury in body was really
quite imposing.

was first called lie had analysed some
lager beer taken from the ca,k siezed soon
after leaving DR.. Lewis and then found II
to contain &C per cent. of alcohol. At DR..
Lewis there was q little uncertainty about
the degree indicated by the hydrometer,
he making it about 6 and l about per
cent. | have made considerable study of
lager beer in my profession ! have ana
lyzed it and found that 1t contains small
amount of alcohol, considerable sugar, lac
tic acid, sucCinic acid, and sloumen. 1t is,
or should be, made from barley ard hops.
1t acts as a powerful diuretic, and come
times, If taken in very large quantities, as
a cathartic. 1t is very nutritious and not,
in my opinion, intoxicating. | have used
it freely, aud from my own experience
from three to four glasses are carried off
rapidly through the urinary organs. A
man may drink from Is to 80 glasses, and
aside IRON feeling little sleepy or stupid,

before the system has time TO absorb alco-
hol enough to lntoxicate. On cross-exami-
nation, he said that lager taken on an
empty stomach would DE itile more ex-
hitarating than IL taken with food, as
good dinner with man IS hunSry--no
more.
DE. MIDDLETON GOLDSMITH
testified that he drank lager beer freely
