SAILORS BEWARE!

years since, a vessel was wrecked near Newbury–
port, Mass., in an intensely cold night. Some of the crew
drank ardent spirits to keep them warm, while others
abstained. Of those who used the spirits, some lost their hands,
some their feet, and some perished while those who used none
survived unhurt. Ardent spirits are always positively injurious.

The Fatu-Liva
Two parts Scotch whiskey,
One part Gin,
One part Grapefruit juice,
A dash of Grenadine,
A sprig of fresh Mint.
The Mamie Taylor
One part Scotch whiskey,
The juice of half a Lime,
Half a tall glass of cracked
ice.
