Frugal and temperate in his habits, afflicted with neither poverty nor wealth, his manhood was passed in the practice Of all those virtues which conduce so largely to the health oosh oI body and of mind, and he ripened at last into an old age that was almost youthful If gray hairs be, as is so often said, crown of glory. the crown is not seldom set with thorns; for with old age there come in the order Of nature I know not what infirmities of temper, wEat physical dishonors like as it were a moth fretting garment, what darkenings of the sun and the moon and the stars, what vain strug gles by spent swimmers against the swift current, what forced marches with reverted eyes and sealed orders into the land Of shadows.r C -aFn sE 5s skvTky

INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL CONGRESS ON
 ALCOHOL.

ALCOHOL.
 The lnternational Medical Congress, which met in Philadelphia. had insattendance large number of able aud distinguished representa- tives of the medical profession from all parts of our own country and from Europe. Realiz- ing the importance of some expression in re. lation to the use of alcohol, medical and otherwise, from the Congress, the National Temperance Society telegraphed to it the fol- lowing message:
 To the International Nedical Congress, PhiIGdelphia:-The National Temperance Society sends greeting, and respectfully in- vites from your distinguished body public declaration to the effect that alcohol should be classed with other powerful drugs; that when prescribed incidentally it should be with con- scientious caution and a sense of grave respOn- sibiiity that it is in DO sense food to the human system that it's improper use is pro. ductive of large amount of physical disease, tending tG deteriorate the human race and to recommend, as representatives of enlightened science, to your several nationalities, total abstinence from alcoholic beverages {, "
 W. E. DoDaE, President In response tosthe sbove message the Presi, dent of the Society received the following official letter. communicating the action of the Section on Medicine:
 PHiLADRIPHIA,1 September 9, 1879.
 DEAR SIR: l am instructed by the Section on Medicine, International Medical Congress of 1876, to transmit to you as the action of the Section the following conclusions adopted by it with regard to the use of alcohol in medi- cine. the same being in reply to the communi- cation sent by the National Temperance Socie- ty:
 1. Alcohol is not shown to have definite food value by sny of the usual methods of chemical analysis or physiological investiga. tiOn. Ds6
 9 IIs use as a medicine is chiefly that of cardiac siiuiulaqt and often admits of sub. stiiutiDD
 B. As medicine it is not well fitted for self prescription by the laity, and the nedica profession is not accountable for such admin isiraiiOn or for the enormous evils arisin , thersfrotusw
 4 Tine purity of alcoholic liqnore is in gen efal not as well assured as that of articles nseo for medicine should be. The various mixture, when used as medicine should have definite and known composition and should Lot be in. teTchaneed promiscuously.

TREATMENT OF DRUNKARDs.


 Dr. George M Beard, the noted specialist in nervous diseases, writes the Tribune as fol- lows:
 The treatment of that special form of ner vous disease, inebriety, is exciting more and more attention in this country and in Europe. Those who have given especial attention to this matter-amOng whom are some of the leading medical minds of England-are con- ing more and more to agree that there are many cases that can only be treated by con finement in an asylum. With people of this class promises are nothing, pledges are noth- ing. There are practical difficulties in the management of these cases but not more so than in some other forms of serious nervous disturbance. Some cases can by such man agement be cured thoroughly and permanent ly; others can get great relief, which will last for long time. Popular faith in the treat ment of nebriates has been shaken by bad luck and bad management in some asylums but long study of the subject and patient observation of the effects of treatment have convinced me that we can do about as much for these cases as for many other forms of serious nervous disorder There will be fail ures; but how many failures there arc and must ever be in the treatment of insanity, CD ilepsy and other and allied diseases Yet we do not therefore sit quiet, and resolve to do nothing for these unfortunates.
 The laws of some of the states are imperfect in regard to the committal of iuebriates Tn. State of Connecticut, however, has a very good law in regard to this subject, and lately an institution for the treatment of cases of this kind has been organized in Hartford, un- der the care of Dr. Crowthers. This institu, tion will not only be confinement. but means will be employed for the actual treatment of the morbid nervous condition; and, as the number of patients is very limited, they will be under constant personal supervision and with an eye to the scientific more than the business side of the subject In the same State an institution exclusively for the use of female inebriates is sooh to be organized.
