Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1872-02-23

A single paragraph will suffice to shO
the character of the paper on the Disa-
bilities of Inebriates," communicated by
the Inmates of the Pennsylvania Santa
rum. These unfortunate persons " re-
spectfully submit six propositions for the
consideration of the Association" one Of
which is-"That our sorrows and sins are
made texts for sermons; our symptoms
and misfOrtunes are caricatured by lectu-
rers and performers; and We are exposed
alike to Odium and ridicule, which has a
most depressing and damaging effect upon
our mental and moral nature"
Mr.. Lawrence's Experiences at the
Washington Home,n and Dr.Albert Day s
paper on "Inebriate Asylums as they re-
late to Questions of Social and Political
Economy" are the most valuable of this
miscellaneous collection of memoirs. Both
these gentlemen refer to the terrible prev
alence of drunkenness at the present day
amongst women of all classes-frOm the
poor and degraded to the rich and respect
able; and while the former advocates spe-
cial asylums for females, the latter states
that in the Greenwood Institution, Massa>
chusetts, which he established on leaving
Binghampton in the spring of last year,
ladies and gentlemen sat at the same ia
BILE, land participated in becoming social
amenities" without any apparent draw
back. The Rev. J. Willett stated, in con-
confirmation of Dr. Albert Days view,
that in the Kings County Home, of which
he is Superintendent, both sexes are in
cluded under the same roof.
DR.. Parks article on the statistics OF
Inebriety" is, perhaps, as complete as We
have any right to expect. After treating
of the relative chances of duration of life
in temperate and incorporate persons at
the ages of 20, 80, and 40, and the annual
loss in a money point of view caused by
alcohol in the city of New York, he pro-
ceeds to consider the proportion of cases
cured. During the past two years Il. G.,
from November, 1868, to November, 1870,
during eighteen months Of which DIR. Day
had charge of the Institution AS patients
have been treated at BinghamtOn, of
which number 1853 have remained well
since their discharge, 81 have relapsed, and
219 have not been heard from. This gives
635 per cent. of those heard from that have
remained cured.'
From the report Of the Sanitarium at
Media, Penna., drawn up by the Superin-
tendent, DIR. Parrish, we learn that los pa
tients have been admitted since its open
ing in June, 1867, and that sixty-seven, or
about 40 per cent. were cured, who las he
calculates) are a saving each year to the
State Of 133, 200 dollars.
Mr.. Lawrence, who succeeded DIR. Day
at the WashingtOnian Home at Boston,
thinks that 334 per cent. of the patients are
permanently cured, and large percent
age of the remainder greatly benefited.

it. The second is, the account OF the Wur-
temberg apothecary who ran to get some
chemical with which to rub off and take
out the mark Of the mysterious cross.
whilst he was doing it the children were
CRYING out that another cross had come
mon the next pane. Thereupon the wor-
thy practitioner, furious at his failure with
! the first breaks tie second pane with
| blow Of his fist. This apothecary broke
his windows, and by so doing forces me,
1 who am doctor myself and professor OF
medicine, to believe in q miracle.
Mysterious crosses are not new thing
In 1895 we had the cross of Migne, which
appeared for many hours on the great WIN
4 dows of the heavens. Older still, 10 far
back as the sixth century, there was, II
am not mistaken, all about Treves, an sP-
partition of numerous crosses, not upon the
4 windows, but upon clothes. History ts 81
lent az to whether the apothecaries and the
scourers were able to clean them on or
take them out with acid, but the bo!land-
, ista, who are strong in historical criticism,
volumes. Besides this, inquirers may hnd
q number OF analogous facts in the Ole
! book that should be consulted on the sab
| ject of miracles. 1t is in two vols. folio,
} and 10 entitled AdmirandG Orbis Chrtst,dn'
/ .Anctorc Bdgatha. Venetiis, 1850.
