The Brand of Drink

1903

Sin sets its seal upon the human face as distinctively as righteousness, says the Union Signal. An article in a New Orleans paper states the fact that experienced barkeepers can tell what a man drinks by the peculiar discoloration of his skin. There is, it appears, a livery of whisky, of brandy, beer, absinthe, each one doing its deadly work with strict individuality. In no little corner of the creation is law inoperative, whether it be the law of life or the law of sin and death.
