THE EJECT ON HEALTH.

It is not unusual for dissectors In medical
colleges to find the liver greatly enlarged
(congested) in subjects who perish from hab-
itual use of liquor. In such cases sometimes
the liver Is found to weigh fifteen or twenty
pounds. In healthy state tho liver weighs
only three or four pounds. Again, the con-
dition Of the blood becomes impure from the
action of alcohol, and thereby causes direct
tendency towards disease Of the lungs, Have
you ever noticed the fetid breath OF drunk
ard? Aud when the functions of the lungs in
purifying the blood are impaired by disease.
the blood becomes still more impure and still
less able to supply the lungs with nourish-
ment.
Physicians find that pneumonia, or in
flammation of the lungs, is nearly incurable
and most frequently fatal In those who have
been addicted to alcoholic drinks.
From impurity Of the blood slight wounds
prove serious tester, mortify, and often
prove fatal. Sir Ashley Cooper, NJ. D., re-
lates the case of powerful. healthy-looking
drayman, who had suffered an injury in his
finger from small splinter.
The wound appeared of trifling nature
but he died from it. Speaking of the danger

For some years past there has been an in
clination to give up the use OF whisky and
other strong alcoholic drinks and to use beer
and other compounds as substitutes. This is
evidently founded on the idea that beer is
not harmful and contaiains a large amount
of nutriment; also that bitters may have cer-
tain medical properties which will neutral

are not confirme. by the observations OF

divorces to marriages celebrated is one to

from it except through the door Of the sep
ulcher. Then they will pause on the verge
of that relation until they are fully satisfied
that 1t is best, and that it is right, and that
1t is happiest Then we shall have no more
marriage in fun. Then men and women will
not enter the relation with the idea it is only
trial trip, and II they do not like it they
can get out at the first landing. Then this
whole question will be taken out Of the friv-
olous into the tremendous, and there will be
no more joking about the blossoms in
