CIDER DRINKERS
C
IDER
drinkers are particularly sl!bject to rheumatism, to
inflamed eyelids, to headache, bleeding at the nose, to
sores and ulcers, difficult and tedious to cure, to afflic–
tions of the stomach and bowels, and premature trembling of the
hand and head. They are the most brutish and cruel of the un–
happy tribe of the inebriates.
An
old orchard and a distillery
are almost invariably indices of widows, orphans, poverty and
drunkenness.
