Brain Work and Alcohol.

For the work that comes of the mind

essa-y. Every such taste is a self-in-
flicted injury, and, what is more, an &C.
cumulating injury. The dose of alcohol
which spurred the thought of to-day
must be slightly increased to spur
the thought of tomorrow. So on
and on the evil goes, until 1T last
the simple, and, Is it was called, the
harmless, dose rises to the poisonous
dose; until, with unnerved limbs, falter-
ing memory, dulled Imagination, e.
tranged feeling, enfeebled reason, the
victim falls. OF all men, brain-workers
are the ones least able to bear up
against the ravages of alcohol. hold
that man as prematurely mad who de-
tends the use of alcohol for himself on
this ground of necessity. I hold that
man as criminally mad who knowingly
prescribes alcohol on this foundation.
From the beginning to the end Of its
influence it subdues reason and sets
free passions. B. w. Richardson,
