n. Suitable for drinking. Water is said to be potable; indeed some declare it our natural beverage although even they find it palatable only when suffering from the recurrent disorder known as thirst for which it is a medicine. Upon nothing has so great and diligent ingenuity been brought to bear in all ages and in all countries except the most uncivilized as upon the invention of substitutes for water. To hold that this general aversion to that liquid has no basis in the preservative instinct of the race is to be unscientific—and without science we are as the snakes and toads.
