Some drink to make them wide awake,
And some 10 make them slsep;
Some drink because they merry are,
And some because they weep.
Some drink because they're very hot,
And some because they're cold;
Some drink TO cheer them when ther're
young,
| And some because they're old.
Some drink to give them appetite,
And some TO aid digestion;
Some for ssdoctors say its right
And some without question.
Some drink when they . bsrgrin make,
And some because of loss
Some drink when they their pleasure take,
| And others when they're cross.
Some drink for sake of company,
While others drink more sly;
And many drink, but never think
About the reason why.

in the throat below the seat Of disease,
in order to allow the insertion of Q sill

breathes while the silment is being
treated. In this case 1t was entirely
successful, and tho little sufferer was
afforded almost instant relief"
