WrcLLiNCiTOx, this day,

McKenzie ha* priven notice ot a motion "Thatin the opinion oi the House, the Education Act fchoulcl be so amended as to provide for Bible reading in the public schools during school hours, subject to time-table and conscience clauses.

THE BISHOP'S "LIGHT STIMU LUS.

A Physician's Reply to Dr. Moorhouso,

It is worthy of noto that Dr. Moothouso, before ho left England for Melbourne, took tho teetotal pledge, bub on his return ho publicly announced that he had found ib necessary, to enable him to do his work, to take a " light stimulus" containingalcohol. On thissub jo'ct our readers will poruse with interest tho following extract from a Jubilee ad drosa, delivered by Dr. James Edmunds, Officor ot Health and Public Analyst for St. Jatnos'e, London, and Senior Physician of London Temperanco Hospital. . . . . There are, he said, social caeem in which many excellent friends assure ns that they get* on bettor with a little wine regularly one man is a bishop, and ho can nob efficiently charge- his clergy unless ho haa " somo light Stimulus" in him. Another friend is a doctor, and ho cannot stand tho strain of a bad case unles? he has a glass or two of wine in him. Another man is a bricklayer, and he cannot do his heavy work, without, his beer ; and so on all round. People take alcohol because the weather is cold, or because it is hot, or because it is dry, or because it is web- (laughter) -or because they are sad, or be cause they arc glad, or because they are ill, or because they are well. In fact, there is not a condition, or a timo of life, or a busi ness, or a holiday making, but will be made an excuse of to Uiko alcohol by those who have not; the courage to say that they take it because they luce it. . . . . Tho tvuo nature of tho action of alcohol upon tho animal body is one of those very im portant questions which I ought not alto gether to omit. (Cheers.) If you oak our bishop what he takes his alcohol for, ho calls it a " light stimulus." If you ask your medical friend why he prescribes it so generally as ho still does, he will toil you that in all cases of ex haustion, of loss of blood, of debility, of dyspepsia, of weakness of heart, he pre scribes it "as a stimulant." . . . .

What do our bishop and our doctor mean by " a stimulant?" Well, I cannot quite tell you. I can only explain what a stimu lant really is when the term is not used mis leadingly. If you havo ft tired horse and you give him the whip, you are " adminis tering a stimulant" (laughter) ; there is no doubt about that, and your horse goes on bettor for a time. But the stimulant does' not put any strength into tho horse, ib only gets the strength out of him (laughter), and, as you know, tho more you whip your horse up to his work, tho more oxhaueted he be comes. Now you have hero a true and real conception of what "a stimulant" would do for a weak-kneed bishop, or for an exhaused patient. It would get more of the . strength out of him, but without putting any strength into him. (Cheers.) But suppose that for a horse which bad clone a tajr day's work, instead of "ad ministering a stimulant"—(laughter)—you givo him a feed of corn and a rest in the stable while he digests it. What have you dono now? Why, you havo given your horse food ; that is to say, you have re-, plenishcd the exhausted energies of the animal, and you have put nim in the condition to do another journey without injury and without unnatural exhaustion. Now, if alcohol were .a true "stimulant," i.e. a something which, Avithout replenish ing a patient's energies, had the power of exhausting them more completely, I should demur altogether to the uses for. which alcohol is 80 indiscriminately proscribed. But this is a point which time does not per mit nae now to follow*but; and the moru so as I deny almost entirely the supposed stimulant effects of i alcohol. This is a somewhat intricate physiological argument, and I fear I may fail to make tho matter clear. There is no doubt that after a dose of brandy a man feels loss of his,suffering, and the real question is:-Is this due to exalted energy, or to blunted V Now here again we had better consider the phenomena about which we are all clear, and 'then see how far those phenomena throw light upon others which are not at first view so clear. What then do we know about the effect of alcohol in large doses V If you give a man a pint of brandy, what are the effects ? The man lies upon his back snoring, senseless, help less. If you set him. up on his feet he falls down again like a sack of, potatoes. (Laughter.) Is that tho effect of a stimu lant or a stupefiant? (Cheers.) If you give the man half tho pint of brandy he may be able u> stand, and perhaps to talk. But when he talks he only makes a fool of himself, and when he attempts to walk you find that he rqlj.s from side toside,and ha« great difficulty in getting along. Hae that man been tstimu ; iated or stupefied ? (Cheers.) Halve the dose again, and give (;ho man a gill of brandy—you will find the man is now garru lous, when, if he had all-his wits about him, he would hold his tongue you see a vacant atarc about' his ey,es, if you put him to kU'otiuous exertion, or. to a diilicult muscu lar feat, you find that he is not so good a man 'as 'when there was no alcohol in him. But to the man himself,! under the influence of alcohol, these facts arc not so clear—he feclH as if ready to fight all the world. When he rolls about he thinks that the lamp-posts are doing a waltz, and when he stumbles he thinks that the pavement has risen up and struck him on tho head. (Much laughter.) Now, - is this man stimulated, or is ho stupefied? (Cheers;) Well, I see that you' undotstand the point. ■ Now it comes ; to this, that when.our used-up bishop or our exhausted patient ha« only a single glass of wine in him, ho is not under tho influence of a ."light stimulus," but of a small stupefier. -Ho is, in fact, just a shade drunk... (Cheers.) , The, wnolo theory that,'what, in half-pint doses, stupefies a man's nerves and. paralysos a man's muscles, will, in" single glassfuls, sharpen" a man's wits and strengthen his muscle, is an absurdity.' The proposition that, by diminishing the" ambnut of the dose, you reverse the natur.e of the effect, is one for which the whole burden of proof lie 3 upon those who propound it, and is a position which is contradidted by all the facts which are discovered by.'the'careful scrutiny of the action of. alcohol upon the cases in question. You now have the key to all those contradictory benefits which alcohol' is credited- with ; in all cases I say' that they are, more or less .finoly-graduated shades of stupefaction, and never of truo stimulation. 1 ■ ■ ■■ ;
