MEDICAL USE OF ALCOHOL Maine pa
per, says the Medicine Question is being ag-
itated very generally, and the next step
Maine takes will be to oatlato alcohol as q
medicigal agent. Lamentable cases Of apos-
tacy. from sobriety by the use Of alcoholic
medicines, have aroused the inquiry into the
n cessity of this agent. The earnest demand
OF the medical faculty, is for an innocent
substitute. An instance of such apostacy,
showing that even the Church of Christ is
not safe, came before us in the town Of
Bucksport, where man, redeemed from in
Temperance many years ago, and united with
the Christian Church, has fallen into his old
habits of Drunkenness, SO that the church
were obliged to expeI him from their COM
munion. And this sad fall was wholly. the
result Of using alcoholic medicines prescrb-
ed by his physician, which aroused his ap-
petite beyond control. II is time the peo.
pie were awake tothis subject, oil over the
country, When alcohol shall get its de-
serts, it will be banished from the medical
practice. Maine. on this question, is ahead,
perhaps, ofall other states. The good seed
sown by DR.. Gilman, now Of this state, has
not been lost. His years of toll and sacr-
fee on this single question are yet to real
iSe bountiful harvest, in the form Of pub
lie sentiment sustaining his position.

I'd. RESOLVED, That the overwhelming
vote in favor of stringent prohibitoFy law,
given in Michigan, on the 10th inst, not
only reAects the lhigtest honor upon. the

clumor Of demagogues that the people are
not prepared for the annihilation of the
liquor manufacture and traffic.
Sd. Resolved, That the submission Of
similar question to the people Of Ohio
would be followed by like result, and the
friends of this manufacture and traffic dare
not ego the country" on this issue.
4th. Resolrea, That inasmuch as 1t may
be inconsistent with the organic law Of Ohio,

dates for the. General Assembly as are COM
miuedin favor of the proposed measure.

this campaign-to distribute temperance
publications, employ lectures; &C., &c.,

pond as to what amount may be relied upon
from their Jurisdictions.
Sth. Resolved, That State Central
Committee of Five be appointed, who shall
be charged with the duty ofemploying lee
turers, appointing mass meetings, and do
| ing whatever may seem necessary to secure

n DISTRESSING SUICIDE OF A PHYSICIAN
DR.. f. a. BeseID, a respectable German
physician of Chicago, was recently prose-
cuted on charge of taking Improper liber-
ties with female patient. 1t was alleged
that at the preliminary examination the.fe
male was shown to be Of questionable repu-
tation, and the charge to be unfoundsd. -
The Dr., however, was held to bail to an
swer at court, aud since then il is said he
has suffered greatly from modification, and
on the 5th inst. borruwed pistol from aGoth-
er physician, and shot himself dead. He
was a man Of fine education, and his pa
rents, who reside in Germany, are of the
highest respectability.
