A New York problem in real life threatens
to become as troublesome the age Of
Ann. A man died of delirium tremens who,
it was proved, never took but two drinks
day-one in the morning and in the
evening. Physicians, bartenders, whisky
men and nurses are being interviewed as to
the possibility of this phenomenon. The
answer seems easy, however 1t all depends
on the size of those two drinks.
