It is equivalent to putting a little keener edge on appetite than usual. Children and even fine ladies will perk up a little when they are conscious of being noticed, and the human senses are hu- man in more ways than one. Dr. Anderson was pleased with the revelation as a pleasure promoter, but did not notice that he was forgetting to [144] AS A TEMPERANCE EXPEDIENT take his daily prescription of stimulant. He was a medical man, past forty, be- ginning to slack up a little in his elas- ticity a...nd strength. He was reaching that age when even the most temperate and careful begin to be a little lenient with themselves. His doctor friends were in the habit of prescribing a little stimulant to counter-balance this ex- pected decline in energy and he took their advice. It was the medical fad of the period. At first, Dr. Anderson ordered for himself one small drink of good medic- inal whisky a day, and the effect was as expected.
