S^^^A
HEN
the
first
edition
of
!5Jcveragcs
~2)e~Cuxe
was
Km
m
published,
the
editors
expressed
the
hope
that
^^^^^^
the
book
would
serve
as
a
guide
to
connoisseurs
and
those
who
serve
them.
That
this
hope
was
realized
is
attested
by
the
demand
from
those
who
enjoy
the
good
things
of
life all
over
the
United
States
and
those
who
have
to
do
with
the
preparing
and
serving
of
these
good
things,
necessitating
and
culminating
in
the
preparation
and
publication
of
this
edition.
Since
the
publication
of
the
former
edition
there
has
been
no
diminishing
of
the
agitation
against
the
traffic
that
legiti-
mately
supplies
the
demand
for
beverages,
but
the
increased
use
of
such
beverages,
which
use
is
still
growing,
along
with
the
greatest
abhorrence
of
over-indulgence,
demonstrates
that
more
and
more
of
our
people
are
using
beverages
moderately
and
properly
as
they
are
intended
to
be
used,
and,
therefore,
that
a
book
of
this
kind
fills
its
own
peculiar
niche
and
has
interest
for
the
thousands
and
thousands
of
good
citizens
who
visit
clubs,
hotels
and
such
places
where
the
monotony
of
life
is
broken.
Much
that
was
good
in
the
former
edition
of
!!^cvcragcs
~S>^~i.\x\^
is
retained
in this
edition,
but
there
is
sufficient
new
matter
added
of
the
same
high
class
to
make
this
edition
practically
a
new
work.
The
editors
will
feel
amply
repaid
for
their
efforts
if
this
edition
meets
with
the
same
favor
ac-
corded
the
first
edition
of
leverages
