It all arises from the fact that Dr. William Murrell, physician and lecturer at Westminster Hoepital, also expert on thirst quenching liquids, when eum: } @oned to testify in a case against two irin-keepers, sald he had inhaled Amer- fean whiskoy and haa falled to recog- aise It as such. Speaking of the Yan. kee product the eminent booze tester ald: “I tested it while in America and I must say that I did not recognize it as whiskey.” Think of This, Kentuckians!
