TO THE PUBLIC.


The undersigned, Physicians
of Cincinnati, feel it their duty
to express their decided opinion in
opposition to the habitual, as well
as the occasional, use of ardent
spirits. ~
They are convinced, from their
observation and experience, that
ardent spirits are not only unnec-
essary, but absolutely injurious,
in healthful state Of the system:
that they produce many, and agg-
gravate most of the diseases to
which the human frame is liable;
that they are unnecessary IN re-
lieviing the effects Of cold and ia
tigue-whieh are best relieved by
food and rest; that their use in fam
lies, in the form Of bitters, toddy,
punch, ETC., is decidedly perniclous,
perverting of the appetite, and un-
dermining the constitution; that
they are equally pernlcious as
opium or arsenic, operating some
times, more slowly, but with as
much certainty.

seems had in their possession as
prisoners of war a party Of some.
MiSsourians, who were making
their way to join our forces. Ben
learned after the battle those 100
were in the possession of. the Hes
SIAN infdels, aed accordingly made
a request to see them. The ,Dptch
Captain, of course, knowing that,
'"discreti0n was the better part Of
valor," proceeded with Ben to their
place Of confinement. After the
usual salutation, Ben asked the.
Captain Of the captured Missouri
ans why he allowed himself and
men to be taken prisoners by. a
pack of Dutch, to which the Cap
tain replied that he could net help
it, as he was unarmed, and the Ell
envy superior in number.
