Medical Converts.

DR.. w. H. Diapers review of the
progress of Therapeutics, delivered be-
fore the Academy of Medicine. New
York, is important in its statement of
the position the profession is now tax
ing in regard to alcoholic liquors.
Formerly the support which medical
men gave to the use of stimulants was
one of the great obstacles in the way
not only of those who urged prohibi-
ton but even of those who argued for
Temperance. But now DIR. Draper
says: 1.-The majority of thoughtful ply
sicians are persuaded that the useful
ness of alcoholic stimulants rs food is
overcstimated. They are coming to
believe that alcoholic s:imulants are
not only unnecessary to "a healthy man,
but that the effect of such stimulants
upon the nutrtion is deteriorating, and
one of the most powerful agencies in
producing physical degeneration. !"
This implies that if the reformers who
fight the rum traffic will wait little
while the doctors will catch up 10 them.

fall into temptation. but that is your

must look out for yourself. These sa-

CHRISTMAS.


The crescent moon, now dim and old,
Like some good shepherd, through the fold
OF blinking stars at set OF day,
With faltering footsteps makes his way.
The skies are sprinkling here and there
The earth's white breast with jewels rare,
And snow-birds in the barren pines
Make common wailing with the winds.
The sleigh bells tinkle in the breeze,
And laughter echoes through the trees;
While DER the crisp and moonlit snow,
With airy bound the good steeds go.
Then by the fire the father sits,
While children play, and mother knits,
Or tells OF Christ, the Child, who lay
Within the manger far away,
In Bethlehem; and how the great
And wise men came in humble state
To pay Him homage; then the death
OF Him who hallowed Nazareth.
They hear from her the story, how
He made men good and pure, and now
Expects us always to pursue
Lives noble, temperate and true;
And when the children kneel to pray,
They bless the Lord for Christmas Day.
