Jamos o. Putnam, an eminent citizen OF
Buffalo, n. Y. writes from Spain to the Bnf
falo Advertise, an interesting letter in
regard TO the drinking habits of the people.
His observations go TO confirm the state
ment often made, that the people of wine
growing countries, who use wine as an or
binary drink at their tables, seldom fall
into the habits OF intemperance. There-is
matter of serious Thought in such facts as
these:
A few cents everywhere buys bottle OF
wine; is use is universal; there is never a
meal without il. What is the effect Of this
abundance and this universal use upon the
habits of the people can only answer
that have sought the most intelligent
sources of Information, aud have but one re-
ply, and that has been confirmed by my own
observation, which has not been uninqniSi-
tive, that drunkenness is not vice of the
country, that excessive drinking Of intoxi-
eating liquors is not its habit; that while
there are exceptional cases rs a nation 10 is
one Of sobrieiy. II is true that there is
drunkenness; hut is rare, not habitual, even
III lnulNluualS, huu II not lCil Us IubllC
evil.
Nor is it true that the wines drank in
great excess will not iutOxicatc You will
think my curiosity little impertinent, but
have visited hospitals, both in Portugal
and Spain, and inquired of their physician;
If they ever had cases OF delirium trcInens-
that scourge which, in our country, open;
the gateway 10 death to so many gifted ant
noble natares-and their universal repl,
has been that il was disease unknown {
the country. Private practitioners told ms
the same thing.
During the three months have spent il
Spain, have seen but single instance O
intoxieation. This was on a bull fight
day at Grenada. Another thing have oh
served-there is in Spain no constant dram
drinking. The hotels in this country hav
no bars or saloons. The loungers--and tn
country swarms with them-vsit the cafe
and club-houSes. The hotels are Is quiz
M a private dwelling. But if you were Z
visit those evening resorts of the people, Z
see their life, you might find them al
drinking, but most Of them would be drink
ing nothing stronger than coffee or lemon
ade, without spirits of any sort
