Temperance.

Education as TO Temperance.

The evils of intemperance, If we ac-
cept so good an authority as the Medt-
cal Ne,cS upon this subject, are seen by
physicians more frequently, perhaps,
than by any other class of men, if we
except the officials in our courts and
prisons. Rum is the most fertile source
of ply disease and deterioration, to
say nothing of its results, wastetulness,
crimes and moral destruction. Syphilis
itself, in most cases, is form of drunk
enness. TO combat this gigantic evil,
the Women's Temperance Union has
begun at the beginning. They aim at
the education of the young in the prin-
ciples of physiology and hygiene as
applied to alcohol, opium, and their
congeners. TO do this they propose to
obtain the enactment of laws in all the
States similar to those now in Vermont
and Michigan, viz, that there shall be
in the public schools as one of the reg
ular studies, elementary scientific in
structioH in physiology and hygiene,
which shall give special prominence to
the effects of stimulants aad narcotics
upon the human system. Public senti.
ment shall thus be created by public
knowledge of the character, extent and
influence of the evil. 1t is in the school
house that the dram shall find its
strongest foe. Give it twenty years
and it will win. These women mean
business, and they 60 about it in most
business-like way. Their plans for
work are as elaborate as those of any
strong political party. No prentice
hand has skeched them out. They use
no invective, no polemics, no sarcasm,
no oratory, but hard, scientific facts
and well-tounded statistics. And if
systematic work will win, they will not
lack for it. They have six depart
ments: preventive, educational, evang-
elistic, social, legal and one on organi.
cation, with numerous subdivisions
Last year at St. Paul, through their in
spiration, the American Medical asso-
citation passed strong resolutions dep
recating "the alarming prevalence and
i'll effects of intemperance," bespeaking
conscientious caution" on the part OF
the profession in prescribing such po'
tent drugs, land welcoming "any change
in public sentiment that would confine
the use of liquors to the uses of science

He'll get his doubts removed.
