 harmful results could come from it.
 The defendant states that he pur
 chased the cider with guarantee that no alcohol was contained there | in and would not have sold it had he realized there was kick" in it Others on the beach, however. com plained that the Natives do become | in toxicated on the cider after drink | ing few water buckets full of it and that the sale of it should bt prohibited.
