Under the tabu, certain victuals, and more particularly certain beverages, are strictly reserved for the use of the superior class.

One of the great advantages of beer, too much forgotten even by physicians, is that it reverses the influence of alcohol, by which it loses its irritating properties on the mucous membrane of the stomach. The celebrated Dr. It would be well if Americans would adopt it instead of the innumerable harmful beverages which ruin the health and poison the peace of society.
During our hours of waiting, Nubians and Arabians follow one another hither, asking for drink, and are supplied with brimming glassfuls of our alcoholic beverages. They are the workers in the new factories who were formerly healthy beings, living in the open air. But now their faces are stained with coal dust, and their haggard eyes look unhappy and ill.
As delightfully seductive as certain mint-flavored beverages they make down South. Philadelphia Press. The sword-play is great, even finer than the pictures in "Two Have and To Hold." Los Angeles Herald. As fine a piece of sustained adventure as has appeared in recent fiction. San Francisco Chronicle. There is action, vivid description and intensely dramatic situations.

This speech was especially enjoyed by Mr. World who himself was addicted to a moderate use of alcoholic beverages. An announcement came from the platform that in an hour the eminent Dr. Strauss of Europe would discourse on "The Effect of Malt Liquors on the Heart," and those who wished to remain might spend the interim in social intercourse.
Part of the taste of these beverages is due to the caffein, but the special flavor of each is given by spicy oils and other substances which it contains. Caffein acts as a mild stimulant both to the nervous system and brain, and to the heart; as is shown by the way in which tea or coffee will wake us up or refresh us when tired, or, if drunk too late at night, keep us from going to sleep.
The natives, too, made beverages of various kinds. One from the juice of the pine-apple, having a vinous flavor; another from maize, resembling beer; and another from the fruit of a species of palm-tree. There appeared to be no danger, therefore, of suffering from famine.
