in which he sŁYB:—

WHAT SHALL WE DRINK:"

The great question of these tropical days is" What Shall We Drink?" I think all medical men are agreed that the less alcohol we consume in hot weather the better for as Eren light beer will be preferable in this sense to ordinary ales, and stout in not to be thought of it we wish to keep poderately cool."

-*

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