THE OTHER SIDE OF THE QUESTION.

The British Medici) Aesoolatlon have reoently made some vary laborious en« qdlrles regarding the question of whether total abstinence is favorable to longevity, •rd -generally as to the results of habhs with refsrenca to alcohol, extendtDg over Urge numbers ( f people. Tre "British Medical Journal" of the 23rd if Jnne eontalns the report of the •Collective In vestigation Committed appointed for tHs purpose ; and it will, we are saro t be a surprise to the general public, and a ■hock to extreme Temporanco advoca'e?, to learn that the report la by no meaos favorable to Ihe theory fiat t-;»al ab- j •Ulners live longer than o.her people. The enquiry wbb condao'ed m this manner. No fewer than 187 numbara of the Brl'ish Medioal Association obtained particular! regarding the h kbits of 4,234 persons acoi 27 years and upward*, re cently dcciattd. Those *vr s divided Into 5 cli'B 8, nsmil}-, toUl abatainars, habl'uslly tempera'?, "oarelesa dri ker§, free drinkers, sn > d c Udly intemperate. The age at death of those In each cUes i wm registered t gi her with the o.tuse of J death, and the aver»g9 a^e at death fof eftoh class was fouid tn as follows: — Glats. V»ars. a 51 22 6 6 i 13 c 59 67 d 67-69 c 52.?3 Acfljrdiag to this, tho total abstniaers died •t an earlier age than any c ther class, not excepting habitual drankards. It was Quickly seen, however, that this was an error, arising from the fact that total ab stainers are on an average much younger than persons who nse stimulants ; which meanP) Id other words, that few people carry the habit of total abstinence through life, by far the greater number of persons above the middle age coming under clast b, nimely, habitually temperate. In order to correct this error, therefore, the Committee set to work to prepare a second table, consisting of two columns, from one of which all persons who died under 30 were omitted and from the other all who died under 40. This gave the following results: —

. The effect of this is to show that as the yennger lives are eliminated, the difference between the abstainers and the moderate drinkers becomes less marked, bat that throughout, the moderate drinkers have the advantage. It will be seen from the third column, that even when all lives nnder 40 are eliminated,— th»t Is to say, ■batting oat of the calculation the gret,t number of yonng people who died before the age when on the average the habit of □■Ing alcohol ia contracted,— the moderate drinkers were still found to live five jeare longer than the total abatainers and the careless drinkers two ye»rs longer. The British Medical Association seem to have adopted these figures as conclusive ; and the " Fost Magezlne " and the "Insurance Monitor," the recognised Insurance organ, m an able artfole on the subject, endorses that view. The Investigation Committee famish an important additional foundation for their conclusions m a table of the causes of death. From this it appears that, contrary to the generally r- calved opinion, consumption Is commoner emong total Abstainers than among those who nee alcohol, and is comparatively rare among free drinkers. The enquiry also shows that cancer has less tendency to develop m those who consume stimulants than m thosa who eschew them. The ' Insurance Monitor" rightly points out, however, *"~ that this must not be taken as a jasilfioi tion for Indulgence, because the intempe rate man subjects himself to other scourges sot less fatal than consumption or cancer

BOUND THE CORNER.

It is always pleasant to write hopefully, and it is exceedingly satisfactory to be able to believe that New Zealand is about to experience — is experiencing even now the truth conveyed by the proverb that " it's a long lane that has ixo'^tuming," and that we are fairly round tbe corner at last. Surely we have been "On the road to Jordan " for some years past, if as the song says " Jordan is a hard road to travel," for the road has been about as hard as they make 'em, and the " 'ammer, 'amraer, 'ammer" of debts, duns, and difficulties has been monstrously dreary, disappoint ing and disheartening. But we verily believe that we have sounded the depths of oar Slough of Despond and are al ready getting on to firmer ground, while the dark clouds of distress which have overshadowed so long are beginning to lift, and the welcome sun of prosperity promises brighter and happier days. It is true that, however firm the road and bright the weather, New Zealand has a sufficiently big burden on her back, but she can bear it buoyantly if only she is able to obtain fairly remunerative prices for the products of her soil, and of her Hocks and herds. Prices such as have ruled for some time for our staples of production if they had continued much longer would have spelt ruin .for thousands, but prices such as are now happily returning will if they continue for four or five years set even the totter ing on their legs and bring about a return of prosperity and progress. Dur the past few weeks wheat has gone steadily up, and latest quotations from Mark Lane (received on the 13th inst) give 45s a quarter as the very satisfac tory figure for New Zealand wheat. This is equal to 5s 7£d per bushel, and should mean 40s f o.b. m the colony. Probably only a small proportion of the actual growers will benefit by the rise, hut for all that the colony will be at least £50,000 the richer for the advance, and if these rates continue until after next harvest as we hope they may, then every farmer m tho country will be sub stantially benefited. Again there is excellent news from 'the Frozen Meat Market the latest quotation being s£d per lb for prime New Zealand mutton, equal we suppose to 3d nett after all ex penses are paid ; or 18s per head for a 721 b sheep. .No wonder that sheep are advancing m price. Altogether the outlook is infinitely more cheerful than it has been for a long long time, and once more we congratulate our readers m the firm belief that we are " Round the Corner " at last.

Peel Forest, July 4th, 1888, JIB ETRATZ, Dear Sir — I have great p[oasure m recommending the Canadian Cures. During the pact week Buffered great pain and inconvenience from & dislocated knee, which had been properly atlended to shortly after the occurrence, but which always continued weak and frequently slipped out of joint, notwithstanding the Inte cap which I wore. During the poiiod I .obtained medical advici and tri.d the proscribed remedies, bub without any benefit for my knee continued as weak as ever until I tried the Canadian Cures. Applying the Canadian remedies according to directions I soon found my knee becoming stranger, and m n ehort time I was enabled to abandon the knee cap. Three weeks after starting to us the remedies I discarded them ob my knee was as strong as ever before the accident, »nd continues to remain so through every kind of trial Aeain heartily recommending the Canadian Cares, I f\m, etc., Gko.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMfcNT AND PILLS. — Diseases of the bowels.— A remedy, which has been tested and proved m a thousand different ways, capable of eradicating poisonous taints from ulcers and healing them up, merits a trial of its capacity for extracting the internal corruptions from the bowels. On rubbing Holloway's Ointment repeatedly en the abdomen, a rash appears, and as it thickens the a'v;ne irritability subsides. Act« wg as a derivative, this ointment draws to tbe 5 urface, releases the tender intestines from - 11 acrid matters, and prevents inflammation, dysentery, and piles, for which blistering was • ne old-fashioned, though successful treatment, now from its painfulness fallen into disuse the, discovery of this Ointment having pro. laimed a remedy possessing equally derivative
