Several amendments were offered. the most

ADULTERATIoN OF ENGLISH BEER The
London Lancet publishes an article on the
use Of cocculus lndicae. very bitter, acrid,
narcotic poison in the manufacture Of ale and
porter. The quantity OF beer consumed in
England is enormous, being now about
10000, ,0GG,00O gallons per year, and it is in.
creasing at the rate Of forty per cent. every
ten years. 1t is known that this substance 10
used 70 stupefy fishes. so that they may easily
be caught, and that 1t acts very injuriousiy on
the health; but there 10 NO direct proof that the
brewers use it, only it appeared that last year
$1,000 pounds were imported from India,
enough to drug eco tons Of beer. And IL it
is not used for this purpose the question is,
what becomes of il !! as II Is not used at all in
medicine. nor in any other branch Of art or in
dustry. The conclusion ls that the brewers
use 1t secretly, and this would explain the
peculiar kinds OF headaches and mental dis.
eases now so prevalent In England among the
consumers OF certain kinds Of beer. The
editor OF the Lancet thinks that the English
Government ought to put heavy import duty
on this highly injurious drug, in order to pre-
vent its usp
