A physician has pointed out thnt most of ns can quite easily tell when we are below pnr, nnd then It Is up to us to “tonic” ourselves over the period of depression until the normul health returns. A smoker below par either does not smoke or his tobacco gives him hut » small proportion of his usual enjoy ment. A hraln worker below par Is con scious that, for some reason or other, he has to overconcentrnte himself on his work. Other people get ragged In temper and with no apparent cause.

Webster's New International stops one short of this, listing Its (Inal word as "zylhuin.” explained as being "u kind of ancient malt beverage,” which the Standard calls a "very excellent beer that Dlodorna. though wholly un accustomed to II, nfllrmed to have been scarcely Inferior to the Juice of the grape."
