What Doctors Think.

Toledo physicians bear testimony to the
fact that no man can drink beer safely, thSt
it is au injury to any one who uses it in any
quantity, and that it effects upon the general
health OF the country has been even worse
than that of whiskey.
Beer is an article of ordinary diet has been
discontinued in at least twenty -seveL pauper
lunatic asylums in England, with the result
that in no instance has the apparently i'm
portant change led to any sort of physical
inconveniences. Many IF the Superintend-
ents in whose asylums the mobilization was
made, and also many of the patients, testify
cordially to the benefits of the change. The
question, says, the Journal Of Mental
Science is not one of teetoidlism, or even
primarily OF financial order, but one OF
pure expediency and good management.
The National N, deal Assoc at ON in 1884.
in convention assemble d. declared that alco-
hul should be cias>ed with other powerful
dIugs, and when prescribed incidentally it
should he done with conscientious caution
aud that 1t would copfiue the uses of intox'-
eating liquors to the uses of scierce

don Lancet for the last six months, aud fail

The Wilmingtonian., 1886-11-06
A Peaceful Winter.

The assertions made by Sir Michael Hicks
Beach in his report to the British govern
ment Tuesday last upon the condition of
Ireland will be read with qualification by all,
He states that there is a marked cessation
of outrage, tenants are paying their rents
under the recent landlords reductions, and
there is every prospect of a peaceful Winter
in Ireland.
1t is probable, of course that great deal
of action on the part of the Irish landlords
may attributed to their realizing at length
the fact of the utter impossibility of their
impoverished tenantry to meet any usual
rental. In other words many of them have
been forced through the actual necessities OF
the case to make these reductions. What
ever limited gratitude is due these landed
proprietors for their act of simple necessity
at the same time it should be remembered
that large number of Irish landlords made
large per centage of reductions gratuitously
and long before any pressure of the kind re-
ferred presented itself to them.
In Justice to Lord Randolph Churchill
it should be added that in his position al
Conservative leader he has lately on many
occasions used his influence with his fellow
mobiles in endeayoring to impress upon them
the rightIulness of this policy towards their
Irish tenants.
There seems to be growing up a better
feeling between the Irish peas ry aud the
rd of the manor, realization that large
number of the landlords are not asking ex-
| cessiye reutals. This recognition of til ngs
has been encumpassed undoubtedly to a
great extent also by the strange and unex-
pected offer of the landlords to many of their
tenants OF a sale of the land fright fol
cash for very limited number of years
purchase.
