In all ages of the World and in all Countries men
have indulged in "social drinks and have used
Whiskey for medical purposes. " They have always
possessed themselves of some popular beverage
apart from water and those of the breakfast and
tea table. Whether it is Judicious that Mankind
should continue to indulge in such things , or
whether it would be wise to abstain from all en
joy meLts of that character , it is not our province
to decide. We leave that question to the Moral
Philosopher.
