Accumulation of Evidence Against tho
Use of A coholic Liquors.
According to German medical jour
nal, Drs. Bonnet and Marandon have
been studying the diseases of wine.
tasters, and find that they frequently
suffer from disturbances similar to al
coholism. although the claret-tasters
do not swallow the wine, but on the
contrary, reject it, and even rinse their.
mouths afterwards. In one case of DR..
Donnct's, man thirty-two years old
used to taste, every day, thirty or forty
samples of wine, occasionally liquors
and rum, without ever swallowing any
part of them. After two years he be-
| came very excitable, lost his appetite,
did not sleep we'll, and suffered with
disturbances OF sensibility, pains in the
breast, feeling Of weakness, difficulty
in breathing. He improved after aban-
doning his profession. although a nerv-
GUS debility still remained, as notice.
! able by the facility with which he was
set in tears. Another statement made
by DIR. Donnet is that there are a
great number of apoplexies in Bor-
deaux, where many persons drink one
and half itres of wine with each
meal. This number exceeds the num-
Der of apoplexies in any city in the
| world. DR.. Marandon did not notice
| any symptoms of intoxication in Bur-
!! gundy tasters. although some of them
| would swallow the samples He remarks
| that tea-tasters always swallow some
| tea, and this, he says, explains the
nervous symptoms they are affected
with:
Wine-tasters must certainly be con-
sidered as moderate drinkers, although
they swallow very little of the wine;
and hence the study of the physical
condition of wine-tasters evidently has
very important bearing upon tho
question of moderate drinking. The
accumulation of evidence against tho
use of alcoholic liquors, either moder-
ately or immoderately. has become so
great that it would seem that no ground
whatever is left for those who still at
tempt to maintain their use upon scien.
