THE NEW SUMMER DRINK.

article on

COLD BOVRIL AND SODA WATER.

DE. ANDREW WILSON, in the Daily Express, of July 24th, has an interesting

"WHAT SHALL WE DRINK ?"

in which he says :--

"The great question of these tropical days is." What Shall We Drink?" I think ali medical men are agreed that the less alcohol we consane in hot weather the better for us. Even light beer will be preferable in this sense to ordinary ales, andl stout is not to be thought of if we wisḥ to keep moderately cool."

*

sa "at mu;

"For those who are engaged all day let me recommend a novel combination-I mean a littlo Bovril (cold of course), made in the ordinary, way, and added soda water. I have found this drink sustaining and pleasant."
