Show me~a man whom whisky does nob injure." A man arose and said :—": — " I do nob think, sir, fclhab whisky is an injury to me. In fact, I think that I am benefited by it.'* " You may think so," the lecturer replied, " but you are mistaken." " No, I am preltj certain." " Then, nob to have discovered any evil effect, you must drink it in the most moderate way." ' " No, I can't say that I do." "Are you different from anyone else?" the lecturer oxclaimed. " Why should liauor nob injure you ?" *" Because I don't drink it." "Ah, you aro indeed sharp, but you say that you aro benefited by it. How so, if you do not drink it ?" ' , " I sell it !"
