Not Symptoms, but the Disease.

1t would seem to be truth apprecia
BILE by all, and especially by professors
of the healing art, that to remove the
disease, not to alleviate its symptoms,
should be the ohief aim of medication.
Yet in how many inetances do we see
this truth admitted in theory, ignored
in practice. The reason that Hostetter's g
Stomache Bitters is successful in so ma
ny cases, with which remedies previous
ly tried were inadequate to cope, is at=
tributuble to the fact that it is a medi.
cine which reaches and removes the eau
ses of the various maladies to which it is
adapted Indigestion, fever and ague;
liver complaint, gcut, rheumatism, dis
order of the bowels, urinary affections
and other maladies are not palliated
merely, but rooted out by it. 1t goes
to the fountain head, 1t is really not
nolninally, radical remedy, and it en-
dows the system with an amount Of yig-
or which is its best protection against
disease.

MAnTlNs, JaVnary 24.--It is repor-
ted by some Of our best farmers that
the entire oat crop has been killed
by the cold weather. T. has never
before been known to have been so
extremely cold in this locality. The
swamps We're frozen over, while the
creeks were fall enh when the wa
ter subsidized it froze again, leaving
two heavy sheets Of ice hanging over
the swamps and bushes. 1t re-
maine't for several days. and when
the weather moderated the ice began
to thaw, and it could be heard for
miles cracking aid falling. The
weather for the last few days has
been very pleasant, and the farmers
are very busy preparing for the com
ing crop.

Jones had written little local item

he called around to interview the editor
about it. 'a
"Well," said that gentleman, "your
notice was good one, Mr.. Jones, and
we are always glad to have our friends

at that house three years, and when
saw that going out to suffer,'l thought,

A Heathenish Name.

"Coup-y-gay-pacia-y-pony." This
cabalistic word was solemnly chosen a
few days ago by Signor Sacchi, men,
Der of the Common Council of Pavia,
as the name of his newborn child, a
little girl. We can not call it her
Christian name, for Signor Sacchi is q
leading Freethinker. and he was
anxious that his daughter should be
called by name which no one could
possibly suppose to be Christian. The
local registrar of births, however, pro-
tested against entering so ridiculous a
name upon his official books but as the
father persisted that he would give her
no other. the registrar thought it best
to comply. After Sacchi had left the
office the registrar wrote to head
quarters asking for direction. A reply
was sent from Rome that the absurd
name must be erased, and that the
father must substitute some more
reasonable one. In the event of his
refusal, the registrar was empowered
by the Government to make the little
maiden namesake of her native oity

The QUESTION of Duty.

With all the discussions over the de-
scriptions of wine, and the different
mentions of its use, in the Bible, no
one claims that the drinking of wine is
there commanded as duty. The high
pricilege of letting wine alone if we
want to do so is as Enthusiastically ours
as is the privilege Of refraining from
the eating of fresh grasshoppers or dried
locusts; and this being so, it is our duty
to avoid the danger OF wine-drinking.
Tha. there is danger in wine-drinking
= "a danger to the drinker himself, as
we'll as danger to those who are in-
fuenced by his examples manifest
to any person who is capable of look
ing at the facts in the case. However
it may have been twenty centuriesago.
at the present time any person who is
not a total abstaner is in danger Of
drinking to excess; and if there be a
wine-drinker who shinks he is, not in
that danger; his nisk is greater than
the man who admits his peril. The
real question: for a Bible STUDENT II
there be a question at ISSUE. is not,
does the Bible tolerate wine-drinkingP
but, does, the bible permit total alb
stinenoeP' ItougAt not to take long 70
settle that question, and, when ID is
settled, the more sensible Christian
man will avail himself of the high
privilege of letting wine wholly alone.

WHAT OF lT7

DR. Lyman Abbott's Absurd Assumption
on the Wine Questionable True Issue
in the Drink Problem.
lhe following paragraph. originally
printed in New York paper, is being
eagerly copied far and wide, in various
forms, by papers which are the Great
ures Of the rum power, and which
truckle to it on all occasions:
"The Prohibitlonists received knock down
blow from the pulpit, when Rev. Lyman Abb
bott, himself almost an ascetic, wrote that a.
heps n IN ts
for He was u moderate drinker, and by max.
oaEers to arn But the ssss

majority Of men are thinking of when they
ssS ssrfs4sa witt WITH go 'sN'. ''''. 'AA' A'' 'A
Whatever Rev. Lyman Abbot may
say, and with all due reference tn his
learning, there is not one iota of proof
that our Saviour ever was "a mOder-
ate drinker." We do not intend 10 go
into discussion of the time-worn
question as to whether the wine which
Christ made, at the wedding fsast in
Cana of Galilee, was fermentedl or un-
fermented, and hence whether it was
intoxicating, or simply the harmless
juice of the grape. freshly pressed from
the fruit The opinion of those who have
gone furtherest into the necessary his
| torical research to elucidate this ques-
ton is that it was Notwithstanding, be-
cause unfermeAted. For ourselves, wa
are not willing to believS that tbs
mighty Founder of the faith. of millions,
the Son of God Himself clothed with
humanity, either countenanced or per-
miated, during his sojourn upon earth,
the habit of drinking-even ''moderaGe'
drinking.
No, we do not beliese Lyman Alb
bott nor his assertions He may be
sincere in them, but sincerity of belief
does not make whatever he may be-
lieve the truth. But. for the Rarpost
of argument, let us assume that his
statements may be true; what then?
We. as Christians, are bouad to OBJ
serve the commands that have beer
laid upon us by Jesus. Are we com
manded to drink WINE, save in com
munion of the death of our Saviour, al
the solemn celebration of the Lords
supperp No.
The assumption in the paragraph
above quoted is that, as Christ, accord
ing to Lyman Abbott's belief, draai
wine in moderation, therefore it is no
wrong for all men of the present aa.
to be moderate drinkers; nay, mOr'
than this-that the example of Ou
J Saviour is to be followed.
This latter assumption does not fol
