Delirium TremenS.

Gerhard Paoli, NJ. D., physician to
Bridewell City Prison, Chicago, states
that last year he had under his treat
ment one hundred and sixty cases suf-
fcring with delirium trcmens, many OF
which proved fatal. In speaking Of
his patients he says
They had all for many days and
weeks been constantly drinking alco-
hol under the name Of Scotch, Irish
and Bourbon, all full of poison. l
know as Il fact, that this whisky con
tains a large quantity of tusel on,
which is a well known poison. When
liquor dealers mix the above named
liquors, they use large quantities OF
the above named poison and even
brandy which is manufactured in this
country is mixed with a poisonous
substance called oil of cognac, which
is equal to prussic acid in its effects.
| wonder there are not more fatal ca
scs than there are
Here is q warning to liquor drinkers
which it would seem ought to have a
potency more powerful than moral
suasion.

St. Louis, October 1s,-The Missouri S!nod
most important matter before the Synod Was
the case OF Rev. J. Il. Templeton, who has been
charged with breaking the Sabbath, drunken
ness, and renting houses to and keeping bawdy

issry, from which decision he took an appeal.
The synod sustained and reaf61med the previ-
Gus decision Of tho Synod. In his defence Mr.
Templeton urged TINT he had never drank any
thing stronger than beer; that he had ne!er
preached without kaFing thirty Or forty souls !;
