Excerpts from Group Publications

Central Bulletin, Cleveland: "Take Care of That Cold! It's when you've got the sniffles and your back is aching and you feel that you're gonna die, when you search your mind for some remedy, that ye old time rock and rye recipe keeps edging into the forefront. Na! Na! Na! Don't touch that bottle. Get the thought out of your mind. Stop drooling! Load yourself up with lemon juice and orange juice and call a doctor. Tell him, if you value your sobriety, that you're an alcoholic so that he prescribes a non-alcoholic prescription."
