So why shouldn't common folks, have their superstitions?. And of all the old-tima supër.” stitions that survive, those relating to precious stones are the most persistent
"Temperance societies some day may bay up the supply of amethysts and present them to habitual tipplare; for, according to the supersti. tion that has bean brought down through tha' ages, with modern variations, this stone ban. ishes all desire for sirang drink.
Yet in this the society might makes a bad bargain, for possibly, it is dat so much that the stone cures one of desire to drink as that it permits one to drink'all he desires without feel- log any ill effects.
