ALcoHoL's pEsTRUcTIvENEss.

o. Atthe Worlds Fair Temperance Congress
q. L. Jewell read o paper written by Charles
r. Drysdale, senior physician to the Metro
poitun Hospital OF London. on 1.-THE Nor
tality OF Total Ahstainers in British Insurance
Societies" After giving number OF figures
to show tho healthfulness Of cold water
drinkers, Dr. Drysdale said.
Total abstinence from the use OF alcoholic
drinks is not only perfectly safe to the aver
age citizen, but even very important, as con-
tributing 10 warding of sickness and early
death. and, consequently, to the correct per-
formance OF his duties as u member OF q civ
ilized community, each Of whom is expected
to pay for his maintenance by being OF some
service to his neighborsr I bave. indeed, Of
ten been greatly puzzled to account for the
iuct that so many able medical practitioners
10th partake OF alcoholic drinks and recon-
mend them to their friends. For my own
part, my professional experience has shown
mo that one OF the most common causes OF
chronic sickness and death is the daily use OIL
beer wine or spirits.
Diseases OF the stomach, liver, lungs,
heart, brain and nervous system, Sout and
affections OF the kidney and other organs
are surely sufficient to explain the statistics
OF the ''Kechabites" and other total aostin-
enee societies. In conclusion, would beg
to indorsu the words Of a late much-honored
London physician, Sir W. Gull, and say with
him: From my experience, alcohol is the
most destructive agent that we are aware OF
in this country. 1 would like to say that a
very large number OF people in society are
dying day by day poisoned by alcohol but
not supposed to be poisoned by it.
