the time had come when the work

A New Destroyer.

1t is we'll known, of late years,
other means of stimulation have been
introduced than that by alcohol. The
French are using absinthe, which de-
stroys the mind more rapidly than it
does the body. Opium in some of its
forms is working ruin, especially
among women. And now we are told
that a new drug, which, like both the
preceding, is worse than alcohol, is
being extensively introduced,-a sin
gle German house selling a ton a
week! We commend the following
to our readers, both as to its facts and
its suggestions:
The friends Of temperance have a
new foe to grapple with in the drug
choral, which has recently come into
use as a sedative agent. 1t is now
sold by tons every week in London;
and Baron Liebig states that one Ger
man house alone makes and sells a
ton a week! The London Lancet
and the London Spectator both call
attention to the enormous consump-
ton OF this drug, asserting that but a
small portion of that sold is prescribed
as a medicine; and that its use is
popular vice, mostly among women;
and that it is doing more harm than
alcohol. Once addicted to it. the VIC
tim will soon reach such a state as to
pass life a contented semi-drunken
stupefaction. The use of neither
chloral nor opium is confined to either
England or Germany. There are
those among us who would turn in
horror from the whisky, but who fiat
ter themselves that their weak nerves
require the quieting effect of this new
and respectable sedative. Something
should be done to stop or limit its
that class of women among US who
have nothing to do but to kill time.
