  As to the benefit of alcohol and tobacco, my opinion is that there is no general rule. As for myself, my experience is, that the less stimulant I take, the better—I have given up beer with benefit to myself, and I have almost given up wine. I take, on an average, about five glasses of claret per week, more by way of luxury than of use. Tobacco I never use, as smoking seems to me to be rather a waste of time. WALTER W. SKEAT. |
