'The effect of lager bier on the voice
is very marked, and the rapid decay in
the voices of the tenor singers of the
German glee clubs, who lose not only
the quality of the tone, but the high
range, produces in such societies al
ways great want of tenors. 1t has
beco by word among them to call
harsh, drawing voice beer. barrel
vice. This fact is well known TO
opera singers.
The offspring of such fathers beer
drinkers) are all inferior in stature,
and stinted in intellect, whilst those
who marry later in life are often child
less.
Those whose souls appear to be the
tail end Of their appetite, say that la
ger-bier produces a good appetite, but
we are reliably informed that, althouh
it may do so, it vitiates the taste.'

Its effects upon the external form,
and upon the action of man, is already
beginning to awaken attention. The
depressed and broad heads the fat
though wide shoulders and breast the
straight back, and cow-lke tread of
its victims, is already known tc keen
observers.
"a great change takes place in the
eye, when laeer-bier is habitually drank
1t has invariably turbid and sleepy
look, while its muses are so much re-
laxed as to make it, as it were, hang
in defenceIess state.
'rhe effects of lager-bier in other
respects is marked. The diameter of
the head betw en- abe ears appears en-
larged, and with it the back part of the
jaws, giving to the countenance three
cornered look, so characteristic of the
Low Dutch face; the neck becomes
thick, often hanging over the shirt col
lar in wrinkles, in the region where
phrenologists locate the organ of anna
tiveness the skin becomes fed, with
a blow-up, spongy surface, from which
large quantities of fatty matter of an
offensive odor are produced, giving the
whole surface greasy and disagreea-
bic aspect. The habitual lmbibers of
this beverage are generally obliged to
hold their cigars to their IN uths,
which being used chiefly as tunnels for
their favorlte drink. seems incapable
of muscular tenacity.

Effects of Lasr-Bier.

Docnor Dixon, in his Quarterly Seal
pei, thus analyses r-bier and its eff
fects hoth mentally and physically upon
those who constantly indulge IN its
use:
There can be little doubt that by
retardirg the decomposition of the It's
sues in the human organism, lager-bier
causes an unnatural deposit of fat all
over the system in persons of sedenta-
ry habits, for we find that they suffer
more from its injurious effects than
those Who by active exercise accelers tie
its conversion into its element-car-
bonic acid a1d water. As an instance
of this, compare the effects of lager
bier on our clerks and young men about
town, and the German Turner'S, and
the difference of its effect, or rather
the effect of the counteracting infuen-
ces which are working against it, will
be Immediately perceived.
In women who take little exercise,
lager.b bier acts as swlll does on stable
cows it accelerates the secretion of
milk, but furnishes it with no caseine
or other nitrogenised substances, bv
which alone the infant can be sustain
ed. The child will, consequently, have
watery and soft appearance, and be
destitute of healthy color; it will be
liable to effusion of water on the brain,
and die readily from Group or scarlet
fever. In such cases we have often
observed the child improve by being
weaned, even if fed upon the ordinary
heterogeneous compound called milk.
We believe the taste of lager-bier is
naturally d'sagrseable, and that it is
destructive of beauty. Women pre-
serves unimpaired their natural tastes
for IA longer period than men; in fact,
they seldom become as vitiated in their
tastes as men. | have observed that
they seldom drink beer. In all the
sa oons you generally see some other
drink before them. We know that by
women in Europe it is considered vuI-
gar to dfink beer, although we never
were informed why.
1T is little wonder that the Ger
m IN nation should remain subject to
the rule of thirty-si1 petty tyrants,
when in fact, beer, BY its properties,
destroys all fine distinctions, and its
habltual use grinds the edge from our
critical faculties. the beer-drinking
portion of the nations OF Europe will
furnish us with an example.
