none are entitled to speak with greater
authority in favor of total abstinence
1--WE, the undersigned, members of the
medical profession in Montreal, are OF
opinion;
Il. That large proportion of human
misery, poverty, disease and crime, il
produced by the alcoholic liquors as o
beverage,
80. That total abstinence from intoxi

the highest degree ofphysical and mental
health and vigor.
"3. That abstinence from intoxicating
liquors would greatly promote the health
morality aud happiness of the people"
Such a declaration, from such source
ought to command attention. Yet, after

The story current that Minister Sickles
received very curt snub from CASTELAR,,
the new Spanish Foreign Minister, when
he essayed to present his congratulations
upon the establishment of the Republic
to that official, turns out to be a pure fic.
ton, as does also the statement that Sick.
les presumed to offer Castelar, some i'm.
pertinent advice regarding slavery in
Cuba. 1t is now asserted that the per-
sonal relations Of the two are OF the most
cordial and intimate character, and the
friendly assurances Of Mr.. Sickes were
received with the warmest satisfaction
and appreciation.
