PHYSICIANS OPINIONS,

Beer "KiIIs Quicker Than ANY Other
Liquor"-A Fruitful Source OF Many
Diseases.
In answer to an inquiry by corre-
spondent the Voice says:
Not long ago Mr.. d. r. Locke, of the
Toledo Blade, interviewed ten of the
principal physicians of that VIGOROUSLY
beer-guzzling city. This is some of the
testimony:
DR.. S. H. Bergen, of thirty-fve
years practice, said: 1T kills quicker
chan any other liquor. Pneumonia,
pleurisy, fever, etc, have first mort
gage on the beer-drinker.
Dir. S. S. Thorne: "In regard to
surgical operations every physician
breads to have any thing to do with
beer-drinkers. 1t is dangerous for %
beer-drinker to even cut his finger"
DIR. NJ. H. Parmalee: Beer is worse
than whisky, the hops contained in the
beer producing congestion of the liver,
dyspepsia and kindred diseases. Habit
ual beer drinkers seem to have no con-
stitutional power to resist disease"
DIR. W. 7. Ridenour: "Beer-drink-
ers are very liable to die ofpneumonia,
and when a confirmed beer-drinker
| takes pneumonia he dies"
DR.. S. S. Lungren: Every part of
the body of a confirmed beer-drinker
becomes loaded down with morbid and
poisonous matter, and every part will
soon fall into ruin and decay"
/ f
used at all, should be used as medi-
cine, as ipecac, quinine, rhubarb and
strychnine."
DR.. G. A. Klrkley: "There is no more
fruitful source of Bright's disease than
beer-drinking. The evil effects are not
confined to the consumers of the bev-
erage, but are transmitted to their off
spring"
DIR. C. W. Chapman: 81 regard beer
rs harmful as ardent spirits, brandy
and whisky, as it produces fatty de-
generation of the heart, liver and kid
neys."
DIR. G. A. Collamore: "Becr-drink-
ing produces morbid effect upon the
heart, lungs, brain, stomach, liver and
kidneys. The brain is kept in hyper
emic condition which prevents normal
cerebration or the accurate use of the
mental faculties"
DR.. W. H. Mays, superintendent of
the Stockton Qa.) Insane Asylum, in
his ninth biennial report to the State
Board of Health, has the following on
beer-drinking:
Nothing will lower the vital forces
so steadily and surely, nothing will de-
generate the organic tissues so rapidly
as the use of beer every day, and year

TEMPERANCE READING.
TO A BROKEN WHISKY JUG.

Thou shattered fragments Of polluted clay!
Gods mold accursed by mans most cruel
foe
or fiery blood that from thee flows away,
Each atom tells a tale OF deepest woe
From out thy mouth hath gurglcd sin and
shame
Suffice to people Hell with vice unspoken;
This drop, that fingers on thy lips, can claim
A mothers yearning heart once to have
broken.
The spoonful left in this, the smallest piece
OF thy wrecked self, is proud 10 know il slew
man, who, fortune-tossed, sought sweet sur
cease
or grief and to its constant temptings few.
The dregs that on thy hinty bottom lie
Well represent dead hopes and loves OF
those
Who, ere they knew thy poison. could descry
Their future lives as fair as opening rose;
But who now crouch. defled beneath the rot
OF cr.me-to degradation bound. annealed;
BY friends OF other days disdained, forgot,
Without q home this side OF Pottes's Field.
The very soil that drinks thy baneful blood,
It seems would taste not Heavens dew again
Or, peniteniiy pray the clouds TO food
Away its sin in purifying rain.

MORE FACT THAN FANCY.

He stayed at home, a dreamer still,
Unknown of all-with small desire
To roam beyond his native hill,
=" His own hearth-fire.
A common toiler, poor and plain,
No unsuspecting eye could scan
The promise ripening in the brain
, or that lone man.
Ills lowly life was like cloak,
That held concealed his conscious power,
Till one bright day his genius broke
From bud to flower.
Then great men came and grasped his hand,
And praised his work, ,and called him wise
And yet they could not understand
His sudden rise.
They reasoned-questioned thro the dark
They marvelled at his eminence;
They called his gift "a special mark
or Providence"
He smiled-and quit their courtly hall;
He strobe into the midnight murk,
And sighed: THE secret after all,
Is work. work. work"
