10 tho early days Of the temperance
reform in this country, a great deal used
to be said on the subject OF moderate
drinking. But the total abstinence ad-
vocates got the best of the discussion,
because their opponents did not agree as
to what constituted moderation. A strong
movement in the temperance cause has
been for some time past under way in
Great Britain, and the debate is largely
carried on in the newspapers. DR.. Vii
son, the British medical officer Of health,
has recently offered what may be called
a scientific definition of moderate drink.
ing. 1t is given at the close of a long
essay on means Of preserving personal
health, and is Immediately preceded by
a statement that the tendency of scien
tiic opinion is toward the view that it is
unnecessary for people in health-espe-
cislly for young people and children-to
use stlmulants at all. But there are
many who do use them in what NAV be
termed moderation, and without appa.
rent injury to health. The limit of this
supposed safe use, is laid down as fol-
lows; One and a half fluid ounces of
alcohol per day; which is equivalent to
two and a half pints of weak table beer.
or one and a half pints of stronger beer,
or porter, or three feurths of a pint of
light French clarst or burgundy, or seven
and a half fluid ounces of port or sherry,
or three fluid ounces of spirits. Excess
beyond this limit is denounced as sure 70
entail disordered health. To most Ameri.
the allowance will seem abundantly
liberal.
