AN ANCIENT BELIEF.
The Use of Alcoholic Drinks by NursiD z
Women of No Benefit Whatever.

The Use OF Alcoholic Drinks by Nursing
Women of No Benefit Whatever.
Dr. jacob, of New York. in a recent
discussion before the section on chill
drens diseases of the New York Aca-
DENY of Medicine, contented that so
long as nursing woman was secreting
healthy milk there was but little dan.
ger that any deleterious matter which
might be floating in the blood could get
into it, but as soon as the woman be-
came an9mic, or got below par in her
general health, the secretion from the
breast would not be simply milk, but
part of it would be watery and other
material foreign to it's normal compost
tion. Whatever was floating in the
water Of the blood would find its way
into the breasts and into the baby. He
denied that alcohol would increase the
secretion of milk. The utmost that
could be said for it was that small
quantity, if regularly given, might not
be harmful. Alcohol acts in the same
way as other foods containing carbon
and the elements of water, the car
bohydrates and its benefits can be
equally well obtained by administering
carbohydrates in some other form,
namely, by milk and farinaceous foods.
A nursing woman needs nearly twice as
much as woman in ordinary condition.
Extra diet should be taken to supply
this need. That nursing women re-
qure malt liquors is an ancient and
very popular belief, which does not rest,
however, on any solid foundation. In
the interest of the babies, DR.. Jacobs
attack on this venerable superstition is
welcomed. The above note on 1.-THE

AN Alabama editor has lately become
violently insane from cigarette smok-

smoked as high as twenty packages of
cigarettes a day.
A BELGIAN shipping paper states that
a steamer recently bound for the West
Coast of Africa had on board fourteen
missionaries, four hundred and sixty
tons of gunpowder, eleven cases of gin,

A PRISONER in the peniten tiary at
Columbus, o., who was pardoned in
1883 on condition that he abstain from
the use of intoxicating liquors, has just
been returned to the establishment,
having taken to drinking. He will now

ACTION OF ALCOHOL.
MurderOus Instrument In the Hands of
the Foolish and Weak.

1t is said that alcohol cheers the
weary, and that to take little wine for
the stomach's sake is one of those les
sons that come from the deep recesses
of human nature. l am not so obstinate
as to deny this argument. There are
times IN the life of man when the heart
is oppressed, when the resistance to it's
motion is excessive, and when blood
flows languidly to the centers of life,
nervous and muscular. In these mo-
ment's alcohol cheers. 1t lets loose the
heart from its oppression; it lets flow a
brisker current of blood into the failing
organs; it aids nutritive changes, and
altogether is of temporary service to
man. So far alcohol may be good, and
if it's use could be limited to this one
action, this one purpose, it would be
amongst the most excellent of the gifts
of science to mankind. Unhappily, the
border line between this use and the
abuse of il, the temptation to extend
beyond the use the habit to apply the
use when it is not wanted as readily as
whenit is wanted, over radiance, in the
multitude of men, the temporary value
that attaches truly to alcohol as phys
biological agent.
Hence alcohol becomes dangerous
instrument even il the hands of the
strong and wise; murderouS instru-
ment in the hands of the foolish and
weak. Used too frequently, used too
excessively, this agent which in moder-
alton cheers the failing body, relaxes
its vessels too extremely; spoils vital
organs; makes the course of the circu-
lation, slow, imperfect, irregular; sug-
gests the call for more stimulation;
tempts to tho renewal of the evil, and
ruins the mechanism of the healthy an
imal before its hour for ruin by natural
decay. should be at all near.-Richard-
sons Diseases of Modern Life.
