ADULTERATIoNs I'm wHIsKEY.

Whiskey, as commonly sold, is one of the
most spurious and deceitfully manufactured
compounds imaginable. Putting out of the
question the physiological effects on mind and
body of genuine whiskey, we are met by the
appalling fact that nearly all the liquor sold as
whiskey at the present time is not only spu.
rious, but exceedingly poisonous. A distin-
guished chemist of Boston has recently been
conducting series of elaborate experiments,
with the intention of discovering how the repu.
ted adulteration of spirits is actually injurious
to health. The result proves that fusel oil ex-
lists in all liquors made from grain, in those Of
high price as well as 10 the cheaper sorts. This
fusel oil is of the most deadly poisons, and al
though it is found only in small quantities, it
has doubtless a very deleterious effect when
liquor containing it is constantly used. This
poison is supposed to become inert after spirits
containing it has been kept three or four years,
but all new whiskey contains it in appreciable
quantities. Among the other posons which
have been thus far detected are the salts of cop
per- lead, tin and other metals, in which the
various processes of manufacture are carried on.
Metallic poisoning is of the most insidious
means by which health can be undermined, as
the minuteness of the dose renders the victim
unconscious of the mischief that is going on un-
til it is too late Physicians are frequently

be traced to the use of poisonous drinks.
Paralysis, now exceedingly common, is often
brought on by the metallic poisons taken in
minute quantities for months or years. Some
of these poisons found in what is known in
the market as the purest aud the oldest whiskey.
These considerations should be pondered we'll
by those who are in the daily habit of consum-
ing given portion of strong drink-which
often proves strong enough to break down the
health and permanently enfeeble both mind and
body. 1t is a great mistake to imagine that
even the purest spirits give strength or contain
nutriment. They add temporarily to both men,
tai and physical vgor, precisely as the lash Of a
whip adds to the power of the horse. Energy
thus excited must be made up for afterwards,
and corresponding reaction is inevitable. This
is the opinion of the ablest medical men of the
day, and the experience of society everywhere
bears ample testimony of this truth.-N. T. Sum-

HUMBUGS.

In single country newspaper before us, we see
as many six humbugs advertised
The first one proposes to send a circular giving
information of the creates. Importance to the young
of both sexes.
The second pufs nostrum that claims to make
ugly folks handsome.
The third advises us to send fifty cents to Mad
anne somebody, "the world renowned Astrologst
Somnambulistic Clairvoyant," who in return will
send you picture ofyour future wife or husband.
The fourth tells US Of another great English
Astrologist, Clairvoyant and Psychometrician"
who will send you carte de Uisite ofyour is-to-be,
and besides that an immense amount of informa-
ton-all for fifty cents.
The fifth is clncher. 1t proposes to send you
a Reparator CapiUi chair restorer) that is war
ranted to make boards grow upon the smoothest
face in eight weeks, and make hair return to the
slickest of bald heads in three months. All you
have to do is to send oil your dollar and in return
for it receive the Reparotor, and with it receipt
for the dollar. 1fupon trial the result is not sat-
isfactory, you can get your money back. Let US
see how it works-you send on dollar; you re-
ceiye the Rcparator, enough to last one week; but
you must keep up the application for eight weeks,
and this will require eight or ten dollars; but you
have recei pts that enttle you to a return of your
money. The nostrum produces absolutely no ef-
feet; you send on your receipts, expecting to get
your money back. You either never hear from
them again; or else you get letter assuring you
that the application has been entirely satisfactory
to the vendor! And you feel like fool-as
you are.
The sixth is White Liquid Enamel, that will
make the Witch ofEndor as beautiful as-your
| sweetheart.
! We have explained the working ofone ofthese
| six hurnbugs. Does anybody need that the others
| be eyplaineI in order In sea tho seI2 Surely
at least no miserable fool with as much brains q
chicken, can fail to see that they all swindles
lfthere il any such idiot among us, who has mon
ey to waste in such, he had better send it on at
once, because he is clearly incapable Of using mon
ey; and onght to be relieved of it.
| OF the same dishonest character are all adver
tisements proposing to send you things worth three
five or ten times much as the money You are
invited to send.
