Alcohol and the Doctor.



The importance to the temperance move ment of getting the medical profession en tirely on its side is fully understood by the British Medical Temperance Associati"n. According to the official organ of the society there are at least 1,000 medical ab stainers in the United Kingdom, many of whom are members of the Society. A yet more promising feature of the work is the number of student associates the Society i has secured as adherents. The association promotes scientific investigations into the '. action of alcohol in health and disease.

i The following, concerning Intemperance, i is from La Semaine Religieuse, the organ of ( the Archbishop of Montreal : i " Intemperance ": -What terms can we employ to condemn this shameful passion ? It is, and we say so with shame, the plague of our society. The laws, the preaching of priests, the formation of temperance socities, the reiterated appeals to the noblest : sentiments of the heart of man, all remains 1 ineffective, and drunkenness increases; it invades all classes and drags down all . ages. What is the remedy ? Who will sup ' ply it ? If one could witness all thedisorder which occurs in public-houses! It is in those places people go to destroy their i health, and lose their reason and their hon j?. It is there that fathers of families go to spend their money whifh a wife and children so badly need. , From the age of eighteen young men know the road leading to them, and friends lead : them there, and fathers themselves drivo i hem sometimes by the example they set them. There are wen who, for a little money, are ever ready to encourage vice and to supply passion with all it asks for. It may be a child who stands before you and asks you foe a drink. Have pity on his i weakness; refuse him the terrible beverage. ; Why ? He has paid, and that is all that is required. It may Le a half drunken man who stands at your counter. He does not kn'isv whut he is doing or what he is saying. He wants to drink an«l drink again, and you comply with hi 3 wishes and you mako a brute of him. You publicans who act thus against all the laws of rharity, prudence, smd honour, what fin nccount you will have to render ro Go; 1, the family, and society. Sen the nuu bers of families where discoid, disorder, dishonour, and misery reign. This , plague of intemperance is committing ter rible ravages among our. people. What, tears it causes wives a> d mother*! How many crimes is it responsible for, how many lives it shortens, and how miny souls are lost by it? In writing thesft lines wo wish to induce all to have it in horror, and we ask the priests, legislators, writers, Chris tian parents, and all honest people to league themselves against }fc.



TT^ditirv Alcoholism. pronouncement of Holy Writ, that "the ksmu •■? fl1" fat,he'-« -hall hp visited on the •hi'M'-e" nn *h« third and fonvth <renpr;ition," is not. only a dpr»liration of the jidjjment of frhp Great Lawg'vpr, but is a'-r> a statement of physiological fact. Modern medical sconce revpals the unfail ing operation of Hie law- of heredity, and in no respect i- the handing down of in herited tendencies from parent to child more noticeable in its persistency, or more disastrous in its effects than in connection with the vice and disease of alcoholism. The Lancet supplies a remarkable instance of this. A^oiiiiTi named Ada, Yorke, who was born in 1740, died about the commence* ment of the present century a victim to alcohol, after a life spont in thievery and vagabondage. Out of,, the 834 persons known to be descended from her, Professor Pellman has been able to trace the career of j no fewer than 709 individuals : — Born out of wedlock, 106; beggars, 142; pensioners of mendicity institutions, 64 ; prostitutes, 181 ; gaol-birds, 76; including 1 murderers. In j 75 years these victims of alcohol have cost i the State, in relief, prison charges, and ' damages, a sum calculated at upwards of 5,000,000 marks.
