stand in our own city some of the boys have
been building houses or shantes for their
amusement. They have taken liquors to
these resorts. Where did they get their idea
of drinking? Probably they had seen or
heard of some so-called respectable, pro-
fessedy christian man of the community
who did not refuse the wine cup. The COM
mon council did well to remove these
shanties. Moderate drinkers would do well
to put themselves in condition safely to be
initiated by our youth. How often do these
so-caled moderate drinkers disgrace them
selves both in public and in priva by an
over-dose-by taking little more than was
intended. The true temperance man totally
abstains because of his example.

even the least indulgence in liquors may
have the most detrimental effect on his Off

but it is highly probable that it will have
such an effect. Not only may the bodily

asked him why simply the odOr of liquor
would produce such sensation, desire,
temptation to drink. He replied, 1.-The
cause is Simply this: In my babyhood, be-
cause l was so nervous, and fidgety and
sickly, my mother gave me sugar sprinkled
with brandy to keep me quiet. Then was
formed the gnawing appetite that has been

alcohol should not be taken into the system
except at the advice of a scrupulous physi-
clan. An unprincipled doctor may advise
it when something else will d0 Know first
what his principles are and even then be
careful, especially so if he uses intoxicants
himself. We are supported in this advice
by the declaration of two hundred physi-
clans aud surgeons of New York and Brook
lyn. They say, 1--WE the undersigned men,
bers of the medical profession of New Yo k
and vicinity, unite in the declaration that
we believe that alcohol should be classed
with other powerful drugs. That when
prescribed incidentally it should be with
conscientious caution and sense of grave
responsibility" Our relation TO those with

drug by in any way doing that which creates
or strengthens the appetite of those to come
after us, brings upon us shameful guilt.
