Stimulants are indispensable in distemper, so that bovril, claret, and brandy are required.

Hawk sat over me and brought me bovril, which we had "pinched" on Lemnos Island.

As was seen, the Bovril cattle are Durhams, and this may be attributed to the fact that they are largely fed on lucerne.

Four birds went into the pot for six men, with a Bovril ration for thickening.
