WINE AND WATER.


The same quantity of wine diluted intoxicates sooner than the same
quantity drank in the same time _without_ dilution; the wine being
applied to a larger surface of the stomach, acts with proportionably
greater quickness--though wine _diluted_ sooner _intoxicates_, its
effects are sooner over.--_Dr. Kitchiner_.
