"I expect three or four good, stiff drinks of whiskey a day, for a week or so, would be about the right thing." "Whiskey don't stimerlate me at all. Doc I don't think 'twould do me no good." "Whiskey doesn't stimulate you! Why, man, what's the matter? Have you been using a good deal of it?" "Yes, sir, I've be'n usin' a right smart of It ever sence I c'n remember."
