   Syn: To {Draw}, {Drag}.

   Usage: Draw differs from drag in this, that drag implies a
          natural inaptitude for drawing, or positive
          resistance; it is applied to things pulled or hauled
          along the ground, or moved with toil or difficulty.
          Draw is applied to all bodies moved by force in
          advance, whatever may be the degree of force; it
          commonly implies that some kind of aptitude or
          provision exists for drawing. Draw is the more general
          or generic term, and drag the more specific. We say,
          the horses draw a coach or wagon, but they drag it
          through mire; yet draw is properly used in both cases.

   1. To pull; to exert strength in drawing anything; to have

   3. To exert an attractive force; to act as an inducement or
      enticement.

            Keep a watch upon the particular bias of their
            minds, that it may not draw too much. --Addison.

   4. (Med.) To have efficiency as an epispastic; to act as a
      sinapism; -- said of a blister, poultice, etc.

   5. To have draught, as a chimney, flue, or the like; to

   11. To admit the action of pulling or dragging; to undergo
       draught; as, a carriage draws easily.

   12. To sink in water; to require a depth for floating.
       ``Greater hulks draw deep.'' --Shak.
