milk heated to as high a temperature
as it can be drunk or slipped, above
100 degrees, but not to the boiling
point, is of great value as a refreshing
stimulant in cases of overexcrtion,
bodily or mental. To most people
who like milk it does not taste good
hot, but that is a small matter com
pared with the benefit to be gotten
from it. It's action is exceedingly
prompt and grateful, and the effects
much more satisfactory and far more
lasting than those of any alcoholic
drink whatever. 1t supplies real.
strength as well as c%xhilaration, which
alcohol never. does.-Good To-
keeping.
