people at one time or another. but in
lhe case OF throat and intestinal
troubles there should be no uncertain.
" says a medical authority. The doc.
Tor should be summoned ut once, for

now his drinking became systematic
and disciplined. It was an unconscious
development, but It was based upon
physical and mental conditions. The
cocktails served as an inhibition.
