Is Everybody Drunk?

Among the many stories Lincoln uspd to relate was the following: Trudging along a. lonely read one morning on my way to’the county seat, Judge : overtook mo with his wagon, and invited me to a seat. We bad not gone far before the wagon began to wobble. Said I, “Judge, I think ybur poaehman has taken a drop too much.’lnputting his head out of the wfodow, the Judge shouted: “Why, you infernal scoundrel, you are drunk!” » , .Turning round with great gravity, the coachman said: “Bedad! but that's the flrsi’ rightful s’cision your Honor’s giv’n ’n twel’mont!” . '* i If people knew the facts they would be'surprised to learn how many people reel in the street who never “drink a drop.” They are the victims Of sleeplessness, of drowsy days, of apoplectic tendencies, whose blood is set on fire by uric acid. Some day they will reel no more—they will drop dead just because they, haven’t the moral courage to defy useless professional attendance, and by use of the wonderful Warner's safe cure neutralize the uric acid in the system and thus get rid of the “drunkenness in the blood.”—The American Rural Home.
