and was selling "tOlu and magnesia
tonic" for dyspepsia and consumption at
81 bottle, the menstruum being pure
rice whisky. He had bottle on tap and
sold by the dose. 1t is extremely doubt
full if the plan will work successfully.

was at one time very numerous in the
fenny districts Of England; so possibly
Milton knew the bird. The name is
quite wrongly applied to the heron in
Scotland and Ireland, while in America
and Australia the white egret herons are
also called cranes. Old Esop's fable Of
the stork being captured in the evil
companionship of the cranes, and being
condemned to death for thus even assoc
ciating with notorious plunderers Of
grain, indicates that he well knew the
two kinds of birds; far better, indeed,
as Blyth truly says, than did that re.
nowned master of medieval painters,
who commits the curious geological mis-
take of introducing cranes instead Of
storks in his world-known cartoon of the
Miraculous Draught Of Fishes" In
common with many other gregarioui
birds, cranes always place sentinels as q
lookout, while the rest of the flock will
trustfully repose, and they likewise
leave them on the watch while on theil
marauding expeditions tocrops Of grain.
