As a matter of fact, whisky taken in this analytical way is a sure
means of breaking up desire for it, and it is an excellent protection
in drinking as well as eating. Many of our test-subjects have been
steady and some have been heavy drinkers but persistent attention to
Buccal-Thoroughness has cured all of them of any desire for alcohol and
in time it surely leads to complete intolerance of it.
It is also true that, taken in the way suggested, the body refuses to
tolerate more than sips and thimblefuls of these liquids and then only
on rare occasions, so that the Epicurean habit is the best possible
insurance of temperance.
