THE DOCTOR says "drink beer" to the weak and the

a tonic. If it is good for them, isn't it good for you?-
The virtue of beer, does not lie in the alcohol. There
is only 31 per cent, of that.
It lies in the malted barley a digested food. And in
the hops a tonic and an aid to sleep.
It lies, too, in the fact that the drinking of beer flushes

drank enough of it. But you don't drink water like beer.
