Holland said: "I remember onoe seeing over a public house door in Liverpool: "Good ale is liquid bread." I went into the house and said: "Get me a quart of liquid bread." The land lord said: lAh, first-rate sign, isn't it?" "Yes," said I, "if its true." "Oh, it's true enough, my beer is al right." "Well give me a bottle to take home.' He gave me a bottle of this liquid bread. I took it to Dr. Samuelson, an analytical chemist, and I said to him "I want you to teil me how much bread there is in this bottle. "He smelled i and said: "It's beer" "No, no," I said, "its liquid bread.' "Well," he said, "if you come again in a week, I'll teil you all about it.' He chargeil me three guineas. Iu u week's time I went to know all about .he liquid bread. The first thing about t was that there was 93 per. cent of water. It's liquid, anyhow, "I said, "well ass that. Now let's get on to the bread." "Alcohol, five per cent." "What's alcohol?" I said. "Ihere'sa dictionary, yon can hunt t up for yourselí. " I hunted it up and ound alcohol described as a "powerful narcotic poison. " "Well," I thought, 'this is the queerest description of read I ever read in my life." Then ie gave me a number of small percentges of curious things, which he had arefully, put down on each córner oí a )iece of white paper, and which mounted to about a quarter of a himbleful of dirty-looking powder. 'hal was the bread - two per cent. It is the business of the brewer to get he bread out of it, not to put bread ino it. This is the simple scientiñc iruth with regard to beer, and the ase is stronger with regard to wine nd spirits. There is practically no ourishment in them at all
