For years Striker Stowe, a tall, pow

when pressed to take a drink, he
said:

"Wait a bit. Wait until hot weather
until July. When he gets as dry as
a gravel,pit he will give in. He can't
help it."
But right through the hottest
months he toiled, the sweat pouring
off in streams yet he seemed never to
be tempted to drink.
Finally, as I was taking the mems

to him. 'Stowe," said I, "you used
to take considerable liquor. Don't

DARKNESS FOR TIE SfCK.-A more
injurious parotice really could not be
maintained than that of darkness in
the sick room. 1t is not only that dirt
and disorder are results of darkness, Q
great remedy is lost. Sunlight is the
remedy lost, and the loss is moment.
Gus. Sunlight diffused through a
room warns and clarifies the air. 1t
has direct influence on the minute
organic poisons a distinctive influence
which is most precious, and it has q
cheerful effect upon the N ind. The
sick should never be gloomy, and in
the presence Of light the shadows of
gloom fly away. Happily, the hospi-
tai ward, Notwithstanding its many
defects, and it has many, is so favored
that it is blessed with the light of the
sun whenever 1t shines. In private
practice the same remedy ought to be
extended to the patients of the house
hold, and the first words of the physi-
clan or surgeon on entering the dark
sick room, should be the dying words
of Goethe, "More light, more light"
