Like one who drams I passed down the outer hall where stood the silent guards as statues might, and out through the archway. Here I paused for a moment, partly to calm my mind in the familiar surroundings of the night, and partly because I thought that I heard someone approaching me through the gloom, and in such a place where I might have many enemies, it was well to be prepared.
After having drawn an ounce of blood, remove the ligature and ignite three times successively about two drams of gunpowder right on the wound. If gunpowder be not at hand, an ordinary fusee will answer the purpose: or, in default of this, the glowing end of a piece of wood from the fire. Having done this, proceed to administer as much brandy as the patient will take.
I examined the corn which the young man showed me, and told him it was worth a hundred drams of silver per bushel.
And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand pound of silver, and threescore and seven priests' garments.

Carefully wash and pick them, trim off all the dry or cankered leaves, put them into a cullender to drain, and swing them dry in a coarse clean napkin.

John's newspaper, for which he had paid two shillings and two drams of rum. This he brought as an offering to the skipper for the skipper could read print almost as well as a merchant and had a thirst for information of the outside world.
Now he sat most of the time in the cafe of the hotel, supplied the neighbors with little drams of cognac, and told the visitors endless stories of the buying and selling of property in the little town. His wife was the soul of the establishment. She possessed the gift of omnipresence. At one and the same moment you might see her in the kitchen and in the outhouses, in the hotel and in the cafe.
Spirits of Red Lavender 10 drops. Syrup of Orange Peel 2 drams. Camphor Julep 1 ounce. Lady Lundie was in bed. The visible part of her ladyship was perfectly attired, with a view to the occasion.
