Description
Excerpt from The Drinker''s Dictionary: With Sixty-Four Original Illustrations; Unabridged, Unrevised, and Unauthorized
It is undoubtedly true that a large share of all the ails and ills that human ?esh is heir to, are in some way connected with. Or derived from the use of ale and other kindred beverages. If a man is sick, or peevish, or habitually untidy, indisposed or unfortunate, we often say, what ails him? And often his only ailment is a fondness for ale.
Ale has much to do with many evils. It makes a man''s breath stale, causes him to Bail, often makes him Fail, prevents his getting Bail, keeps him at the Tail end of the procession, and causes many a Wail; and the man who drinks it, is likely to be lodged in a place the name of which is spelled the same as ail.
