NOT A MEDICINE.

A Hurtful Belief That Should BE Com
batted by Every Conscientious Ply
sician.
A physician who prescribes alcohol,
in any form, in any quantity, even the
smallest, commits crime against hui
manity. 1t is not a medicine, and has
no regenerative power. 1t is a stimu-
liant, but only because it is a poison.
Its effect is deceptive and evanescent,
and is followed by corresponding de-
preston of the vital powers. 1t is not
Gonic, because there is nothing in 1t
that is food. 1t builds up neither
muscle nor tissue, nor brain, nor nerve.
1t is poison, pure and simple. AS
soon as it is taken into the body, it
goes at once into the circulation-into
the blood. Every organ OF the body is
set to work by outraged nature to ex-
pei the vile stuff. The lungs exhale it.,
and every breath is tainted with its
noxious odor. The liver the kidneys,
the skin, all are taxed to rid the sys-
tenn of alcohol. Every one works as
shortest time, and what wonder the
Dye Is eAHduSltl Wucll Iue WOIk Is
done, and that a depression weighs
upon mind and bodyp
The stupid and hurtful belief among
the masses that rum is medicine
should be combatted by every con-
scientious physician. Many a man
now sleeps in a drunkard's grave who
first awakened the rum devil in his
vitals by taking liquor as medicine.
Many woman has lost all, and has
become degraded, besotted victim to
rum through taking it as tonic.
Teach the people to know it as the
poison it really is. 1t is as dangerous
to handle as to fondle Il serpent. Every
physician in the land should abandon
the practice of prescribing or recon-
mending any form of rum as med
icine for any bodily ailment. There is
no permanent good can possibly come
from its use, and harm is absolutely
certain. 1t can not benefit and it will
surely injure. Toledo Blade.

These are brave words, for great

Catholics and many of them are lib

fore firmly planted on the side of Tenn
perance reform, for which it is capable
of doing more than has been done by
all the other agencies engaged in the
work since the Temperance agitation
began half a century ago. Its power is
consolidated, and its dominion is exer-
cised over the consciences of millions
of our people, and they the portion OF
the community who can do most by
their precept and example to revolu.
tionize public opinion and practice with
regard to drinking.
The Knights of Labor are also work
ing in very effective way in behalf OF
Temperance. Their leaders know that
drink is their worst enemy, for what
they are trying to bring about can only
be accomplished by sober men; and
therefore they refuse to admit liquor
dealers into the order, or in any way to
lend their countenance to the liquor
traffic. Rum would soon turn the
Knights into raging mob and bring
down on them the condemnation of So
ciety and the church. Their success,
as Mr.. Powderly tells them, depends
on their patience and control; and to
exhibit those virtues they must sed.
ulously refrain from the abuse of al.
cohol.
The outlook for Temperance reform,
accordingly, is brighter now than it has
been at any past period. Those who
are best able to make the movement
successful have taken hold of its direc-
tion.--M Y. Sun.

The grandson of the Emperor of
Brazil was recently visiting New Or
leans and received royal honors from
the people of the Crescent City. While
the young man is only midshipman
in rank, he is scion of two of the old
est reigning houses in the world. The
house of Braganza, above four hundred
years old in its own name, is descended
from the old Portuguese Kings. and
through them from one of the heroic
soldiers of the middle ages. that Alton
so who built up the little kingdom by
sixty years OF stout battle, and who
captured Lisbon from the Moslems in
the year 1l47. The Brazilian branch
of the family, in consequence of inter-
marriage, is also descended from St.
Louis, and through him from
Hugo Capet, ancestor of thirty
two French Kings, born more
than half way back to Christ. 1t
is also descended from the mighty
house of Hapsburg, and indeed indi-
