sarsaparilla, or an ordinary tonic, but is as
superior to all of them as the diamond is to

Tho Beat Drink

Is that one which does not leave behind
an unnatural longing for more drink.
Highly favored, sweet or stale drinks
can never do more than punish the par
taker. The bitter tonic principle oi
hops properly combined and toned down,
as in Maier & Zobelein's home brew is,
however, sustaining and self-satisfying.
The best proof of the pudding is in the
eating. Try it.
