w. C. T. A. DEPARTMENT.
Prevention, a,ad cure.
CONDUCTED BY MEMBERS OF THE W. C. T.
SOCIETY OF LAPoRTE, PA.

The cure OF inebriety has latterly
claimed a large measure OF public
attention. Recently at Dwight.
Illinois, was held convention com.
posed of hundreds of delegates, rep
resenting numerous organizations of
men who have been treated, and at
least for the time being successfully,
by the Kelley method. Many Of
these Institutes are being established
in this country and in England, and
large numbers of inebriates are re-
sorting to them for treatment, pay
ing in the aggregate large sums of
money therefor. Other special
methods of treatment for the
victims of the drink habit are being
experimental with and widely ad-
vertised. All this in addition to
the well-known inebriates' homes
and asylums, long established ia
different parts of the country. OF
the relative merits and demerits of
the various specifics recommended
for the cure of drunkenness, we do
not propose now to speak. We hail
anything which can suffice to rescue
even one person from the perilous
tolls of the drink demon as gain to
humanity, and are grateful for all
the good which may thus be
achieved. For permanent good re-
suits our own confidence is greatest
in abstinence and in the abiding
power of the Almighty Arm, rather
than in the evanescent force of any
drug. We rejoice, however, in the
deliverance of any one from the
drink bondage by any helpful
agency, and with every broken home
thus reunited and blessed with re-
newed happiness. But especially
do all who attribute their rescue to
any form of drug medication need
to bear continuously in mind the
eminently wise admonition "Let
him that thinketh he standeth take
heed lest he fall"
The pathetic sight of these eager
throngs who are seeking, by one
method of cure or another, relief
from the alcoholic grip, but empha-
sizes anew the Importance of the
true mission of the temperance re-
form, the prevention and abolition
of the drink habit. Prevention is
easier than cure. Especially to the
young and inexperienced Is the
message, "Stop before you begin,
Of the utmost Importance. If il
could be everywhere proclaimed and
needed what untold suffering and loss
in ways innumerable, might there
by be avoided
