spirituous Liquors as Medicine.

At meeting of the Woman's Temperance
Union held some time since the following ques-
tions were prepared and addressed to the
Board of Health:
Does the habitual, indiscriminase and unre-
stricted use of Intoxicating liquors, wines and
beer affect the general health of this city?
Is the use of intoxicating liquor necessary
in checking disease?
If 60, wha. are the diseases in which the
science of medicine has not discovered some
other remedy!
Are these healing and curative properties
contained in malt liquors
If SO, what are theya
The ladies stated that they asked these
if fpossible, the truth in regard to the effects
of intoxicants, their use aud abuse.
To this a reply was returned by DR.. C. C.
Cox, secretary of the board, in the following
language: "The Board of Health is in receipt
of your communication embracing certain in
quiries, the importance of which cannot be
oyer-estimated. They regret to inform you
that they are questions for the investigation of
a medical rather than sanitary organization,
having reference to the consideration of dis
the prevention and not the treatment or cure
Of disease. The first query is the only one
trepching upon our department, and would be
answered unhesitatingly in the Affirmative"
LIN response to further inquiries, the Board
of Health furnished the names of several So
cieties as medical authority, as referred to in
the above communication. Among the replies
received is the following:
"Your letter propounding certain inquiries
has been received and duly considered. In
reply, have to state that the habitual, indis-
criminate and unrestricted use of intoxicating
liquors does affect the general health of this
city injuIiously. The use of intoxicating
liquors is hardly ever necessary In checking
disease. There are few diseased conditions
in which the use of alcoholic liquors may be
adyantageously resorted to for temporary pur-
poses, but there is no curative virtue, In any
specific sense, in alcoholic liquors.
'Mait liquors have somewhat tonic effect
upon the system, and may be slightly nourish-
ing, but even these are rarely desirable and
never actually necessary as remedies in dis
ease. The above l believe answers all your
inquiries fully, and / give it as my deliberate
individual opinion as a Psychologist and ply
siciau.

&C. W. SoNNENscHMIDT,
Secretary Washington Homeopathic Medical

Abandonment and Adultery in One Case.

Abandonment and Adultery in One Case.
The following was fled in equity yesterday:
Sophia Ford instituted q suit for divorce from
Benjamin j. Ford. In the petition she states
that she has been resident of this city for the
past seven years, and the defendant resident
of New York city; that on the 10Th of April,
1872, complainant, whose maiden name was
s phia Akers, was married to the defendant
in this city by Rev. Mr.. Foreman, who was
then pastor of Asbury church. The issue of
the marriage was one female child. Shortly
aftpr the marriage the defendant began to
ps. itct plaintiff, and to associate with women
of bad character, especially one Lizzie
Hawley, frequently threatening to leave pc
titioner, and live with said Hawley as his wife;
that though she always conducted herself
toward the defendant as q faithful wife, yet
he, without cause, willfully deserted and
abandoned her on June Is, 1872, and has con-
tiDued for the uninterrupted space OF more
than two years, and has contributed nothing
fer the support of complainant or her child,
though all the time he has been engaged In re-
munerative employment. On or about June
Is, 1872, the defendant took up his residence
in the State of New York, where he has ever
since resided; and shortly after he went there,
petitioner has been informed and believes, he
wss joined by Lizzie Hawley, with whom she
lived as his wife, she being known as Mrs.
Ford, until q short time since, when the de-
fendant also deserted the said Lizzie Hawley.
She therefore prsys divorce, the guardianship
of the child, and the defendant made to pay
the costs of the suit.
MoRRELL vs.. MoRRELL.
Abraham Morrell brings suit to set aslle
decree for divorce from Margaret j. Morrell,
and for injunction, and states in his declara-
tion that he is a citizen of this District, but
the defendant is not; that on February %,
1875, the defendant fled her petition in this
court praying for divorce from the bond of
matrimony and for other relief against COM
plainant, ber husband; that afterwards, on
February 25, 1875, the defendant fled her mo-
tion to said court for maintenance pending the

Merit Recognized.

Benson's Cspcine Porous Plaster received
the highest and only reward of merit at the
Philadelphia Exposition over all articles of
like character, proving by the highest medical
authority In the world that they are greatly
superior to ordinary porous plasters, and not
patent medicine, as no nostrums were al
lowed to be exhibited there. Benson's Cap
cine Porous Plaster Is positively the best ex-
ternal remedy ever devised. They relieve
pain at once, and cure where other porous
plasters only relieve after long use. Over
three thousand physicians now recommend
their use, and they are sold by druggists
everywhere. Price, 25 cents. - - .
