POISON IN THE PUMP.
[A medical writer in the Gentleman's Magazine says, "more people are killed by drinking water than are killed by drinking alcohol.">[
Think of that, teetotal folks, heed not Wilfred Lawson's jokes
And his gay, impromptu poems which he reads when on the stump,
Here's a doctor says that you will indubitably do
Quite a foolish thing in swearing by your sweetly sober pump.
Surely that should give you pause when you advocate your cause,
With your button-hole adorned with tiny scrap of sky-blue silk;
There's not half the danger in whisky, brandy, rum, or gin,
