Nevertheless, I am told that the usual
thing for a citizen of Toronto to do
upon the receipt of a telegram an
nouncing the proposed visit of Cousin
Tom from the States is to hie himself
to the nearest doctor and obtain a
prescription. The availability of such
jxrescriptions depends upon the genu
ine illness or the personal inclinations
and friendship of the doctors involved.
And prescription liquor is as highly
valued here- —for it is every’ bit as ex
pensive—as it is in Washington.
In connection with prescription
liquor it is interesting to note the
curative power of the different brands.
In July of a y'ear ago Scotch whisky
comprised 38 per cent of all the pre
scription liquors sold, Canadian whisky
3 9.9 per cent and gin 10.6 per cent.
The same proportion held true last
October, although brandy came in for
a run of popularity that made it about
on a par with gin for the cure of
colds, depression, hiccoughs, measles,
whooping cough, scarlet fever, that
pulied-down feeling, nostalgia, sleep
ing sickness and pains in the eye, ear,
