The author of the address contained in this
volume is equally distinguished as member OF the
medical profession In London. and ardent advocate
of the principle of Total Abstinence During recent
visit to this country he took active part with the
prominent friends Of the cause. and excited deep
interest BY his ervor aud eloquence In ITS behalf Dr.
Edmunds has no faith in the fanced virtues OF alcohol
s an article of food large part OF the alcohol which
s taken into the body leaves the body again alcohol
uudecomposed. Hence It cannot have given up the
forces which hold constituent clements together and
which are always given up when substance serves as
food in an animal body. Nor. Dr. Edmunds maintains,
Is alcohol OF any greater efficacy stmulant Food
is that which puts strength into a man, and stimu-
liant is that which gets strength out of q
man. When we work stimulants. we exhaust
the last particles Of strength sooner than We
should have done without them. When you watch men
who work on stimuants for few years. you find that
they very rapidly deteriorate and lose great deal
more than they gain by 1t. Alcohol in fact argues Dr.
imunds, Is poison. We can kill a man by single
dose. A smaller dose VIII paralyze the muscles and
stupefy the body. S D cases, alcohol may be Of
use as medicine, IN like manner opium. chlOroform,

Whatever may be the private opinions OF Dr.
Clarke he certainly takes no ground in this voiume h
favor OF the explanation OF the human faculties by any
system Of materalism. Together with Professor Bain
whose language he adopts, he believes that no know

70 solve the problem OF its connection with the mental
functions At the same tne he is no less strenuous
advocate OF judicious and thorough physical education

Now fast, now slow-with mingled wall and
laughter

And still from out the shadowy, dim ITO Be-
Another-and another year slides stealthily
o phantom trainl Your chill breath dulls our
pleasures;
Your footprints leave the burrows and the
frost;
With ruthless hand We gather up our treasures
Till in the mist OF "by-gones" they are lost!
And darkening windows. closing portals show
The daughters of sweet harmony brought low!
And yet, o passing years! grim procession!
lavish store We tossed into our hands
Rare gems, Iried gold-ah yes, we make con-
Your gifts wei balanced all your stern de-
mands.
And many an offered prize our idle fingers lost
Because, all heedlessly, we s'umbered at our
post!
Then fair, fresh, laughing year, with light steps
gliding
Out OF the mystic shade-the yelled unknown
In chiIdlike faith, In patient hope abiding,
We place warm, welcome hands within thine
own!
Your touch may thrill and brighten-or may
loose the silver cord;
