turer of the evening. He spoke for about
three-quarters of an hour in an even, earnest
and impulsive manner, without attempting
oratorical flights or indulging in denuncia-
tion, but appealing strongly to reason and
fortifying his discourse with physical facts as
evidences of the truth of his allegations. He
considered the use of alcohol, its creation its
purpose, and its place in the human economy
He declared it to be an irritating and mar.
cotic poison, and he would place it on the
drug shelf with other poisons. He treated it
as the base of all liquors. and therefore classed
their evils together, separated only by degrees
represented blythe percentage of alcohol found
In each, as per cent. in beer and So per
cent. in whisky. He considered the issues
whether alcohol aids digestion; whether it
supports or contributes to any parts of the
human organism, or whether it is, in any
sense, food or a contribution to vital energy
and strength, taking the negative in each
case, and illustrating his remarks by charts
and diagrams of the human stomach. One
of the most vital points of his address was
that wherein he held drunkenness, when it
reaches the stage where appetite predomi,
mates, to be disease, for which the sufferer
he should be treated by medical science and
humanitarian effort. At the close of the
lecture the choir and audience sang closing
ode, and the meeting was dissolved.
