Comfort for gin. Drinkers.
--A medical gentleman in London met an old woman who asked him whether he liked gin, rum, or brandy best.--He replied that he was not in the habit of taking either. "What! " said the astonished querist--"what! not take gin? I like gin best of everything, for I have been in the hospital, and I know all about it. Gin only eats off the skin of the liver; rum fills it up like a sponge, but brandy eats holes into it that I could put my finger in."
