The Action of Alcohol on the Body.

The Late Sir Benjamin Ward Riohardtou

" Alcohol is not included in the scheme of life." .

"The use of alcohol as a beverage pio luc-s an infinity of evil for which there is no com pensation and no human cur j."

! The Face.—The features of those who indulge in strong drink exhibit the evi dences of the evil committed by this subtle foo. The vessels, over and over again dis tended with bjlood, show at least the fact of such distension in those dark red, or all ; but blue, discolourations of the face which are so often seen in the hard drinker. ! The Tissues.—Alcohol produces physical deterioration by destroying the integrity of the collodial matter of which the tissues aTe composed. Animal tissues, subjected to i alcohol, can be perverted to any degree, and in the most diverse and apparently contra | dictory ways. The Kidneys.—The kidney, in like man ner with the liver, suffers deterioration of structure from the continued influence of alcohol. Its minute structure undergoes fatty modifications; its vessels lose_ their due elasticity and power of contraction; or its membranes permit to pass through them that collodial part of the blood known as albumen. The Muscles. —The action of alcohol is to lessen muscular power. It weakens the muscles, and carried a little too far it dis ables them for work altogether, so that they cannot support the weight of the body. I have put this matter to the test by means of experiment, and I have found that the idea of alcohol giving force and activity to the muscles is entirely false. The Br.ooD. —In the smallest quantities diffused in blood, alcohol is a foreign sub stance, doing there no good certainly, and fulfilling no purpose that could in any sense be called i.atur.il. When the | quantity of it is small, so small as one part iv nve hundred, it is injurious j while over j and above that quantity it is a sourco of serious derangement, and it may bo danger. Watimth. —Alcohol only makes the body feel warmer because it causes more warm blood to como to the .surface of the body, there to lose its heat and leave the body colder. You know that cold and alcohol exercise the same kind of influence on the body, and that when working in the cold, even iv the extremest cold, that man will wQrk longest aud best who avoids alcohol altogether. The Membranes. —The part? which first suffer most from alcohol lire those expan sions in the animal body which anatomists call the membranes. Upon their integrity all the silent woik of the building up of the body depends. Upon ail membranous structures alcohol exerts a direct perversion

fof action. It produces in them a thicken ing, a shrinking, auJ an inactivity that reduces their functional power. Cold.—Alcohol and cold go hand in hand in their action. The worst influences of alcohol on man are observed when the weather is intensely cold. All great con sumers of alcohol are chillier during the winter months than are those who abstain, and as they who drink alcohol constantly i labour under the delusion that if they are cold they must take wine, spirits, or ale, to keep them warm, they make matters still worse by actually going to their enemy for relief. The Heart.—Two ounces of alcohol will, I find, raise the beats of the heart to 6,000 (extra beats in the twenty-four hours, which rn^ans an amount of work represented by i he a^-.t • f lifting a weight of seven tons one foot; high. Sfie further what this means. One ton divided into ounces would give | 35,810 ounpes; so that the work done is really represented by the process of lifting a seven-ounce weight 35,840 times the height of one foot each time. The Eye. — In the eyeball certain cellodlal changes take place from tha influence of alcohol, the extent of which have as yet been hardly thought of, certainly not in any degree studied as in future they will be. Alcohol injures the delicate nervous i expanse upon which the image of all objects we look at is first impressed. It interferes | with the vascular supply of this surface, and it leads to changes of structure which j are indirectly destructive in the perfect i sense of sight. [ Food.—There is nothing in alcohol that can make any vital structure of the body. | The best that can be said nbout it in this j matter is that in some forms in which it is taken, as beer, for instance, it may, because of the sugar in it, add fat to the body. This is really not a good addition, because much fat interferes with the motion of the vital organs, makes the body heavy and unwieldy, and getting into the structure of organs such as the heart and kidneys, makes those organs incapable of work, and so destroys life. The Body Generally.—ln whatever way alcohol acts on the body, whether slow ly and by the successive stages, or rapidly, so a3 to produce all its evil action in one sharp change, it acts as a reducer of the powers of life. Never let this lesson bo forgotten in thinking of the effects of strong drink—it is " strong" only to destroy- it can never by any possibility add strength to those who take it, and to resort to it for the sako of gettnig strength is like seeking for strength in exhausting and tiring exer oise. A Summing Dp,—To sum up, I say that an agent such as alcohol, which employes and carries with it a false necessity, a false idea of happiness, false action, false organi sation, false belief in self, self deception, is a bad agent. No priest, no physician, no i poet, no painter ever clothed the devil iv i more telling attributes of evil. We are I sometimes told it is fanatical, it is un practical, it is contrary to the interests of individual men, or classes of men, to speak these things and oppose alcohol. Be it so. In another age it will be a wonder that such arguments as those which we are obliged to use were ever neoessary to oon vert an unwilling world.

Prick your skin with, a needle. You will see it is fall of blood, full all the time. But what kind of blood? Rica and pure? Or thin and impure? Pure blood makes the skin clear, smooth, healthy. Impure blood covers the skin with pimples, sores, boils, eczema, eruptions, tetter, salt-rheum. Mr. Frank Hewett, of Kalgoorlie, W. A., sendshisphotograpaaiid tells whatcured him. " When a boy my skin broke out in bad sores about my hands. After trying a great many remedies in vain, I took Ayer's Sarsapanlla and was quickly cured. Recently I was troubled again with severe boils, but one Dot tle of the same old remedy completely cured me. It's the greatest blood-purifying medi cine in the world." There are many .mltation " Sarsaparillas." Be sure you get Ayer'a. Aid the Sarsaparilla by keeping your bowels In good condition with Ayer's Pills. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass., U.S.A. BUSINESS NOTICES.
