In the Highlands of Scotland once upon a time this drink, or dish, or what. ever one may choose to call it, was recommended as a panacea for almost all ordinary ills. It was used on the hills and in the cottages of the straths and glens, Used for fatigue, after ex- posure to cold, or before going out to face snow blizzardr, used to induce sleep, and to cure colds, and rheuma- tism itself. But the reader will please to remember that those who used it were hardy Scots. dwelling among the mountains and breathing the purest of air. I would not recommend it, there- fore, to those who live south of the Bil. very Tweed. In fact. I do not recom- mend it to any one who can do without such questionable stimulation. L l dajre say there are more ways than one of making Athole brace, just as there are making oatmeal porridge. Some Highlanders simply mix heather honey. with whiskey and partake of that; but I believe the real Sandie Mc- liie, as they eall it, consists of a hand. ful of oatmeal, two tablespoonfuls of honey, and a very little drop of whis- key-say, half a tumblerfull This for each man. That makes the real High. land tartan Drone; but I seriously ad. vise the English tourist who desires to become more intimately acquainted with the delieaey to note exactly on which side of the room the door is before par- taking, else he may be glad of a bed beneath the table. But, joking apart, there is some good even in Athol brose, for. however people may diller in opin- ion eoncerning the merits of whiskey an a dietetic or medicine. there is no doulit about. the oatmeal and the honey. Well, I have sung the virtues of the former many times and oft; let me, therefore, change my lay. and strike the lyre in favor of heather honey.--IV. Gordon Stables, M. D., ll.
