The effect is a revulsion.
Since the fatal days of 1888, many Of the

and all schools of practice are more and
more relying upon old-fashloned simple
root and herb preparations and careful

These methods and relianccs are illus

forced to take a decided stand and fight
the battle at the polls and in the halls

habit of liquor drinking is condemned

have been tried 70 check the evil,
which in spite of these surface meas

conclusion that the only right place to
