A Nerve Paralyzer.

Dr.. n S Davis, the venerable f0un
der Of the great American Medical AS
ISOLATION, and president of the Ameri-
can Medical Temperance Association,
in the American Medical Temperance
Q Iarterly, gives a very interesting Sc
rIes of clinical facts, at the close of
which he asks: Gould there be any
more direct or stronger clinical proof
that the alcohol acted neither as a
stimulant, a cardiac tonic, nor a con
sarvator of tissue; but as a nerve
paralyzar, an inhibition of ~oxygenation
and Decentralization of the blood, q
promoter Of tissue degeneration and
suppuration?' Among the cases re
ferred to were several of typhoid fever,
pneumonia, diphtheria, etc. The facts
and illustrations cited tell strongly in
favor Of non alcoholic, as comp red
with the alcoh bic, treatme1t of these
diseases.
Show this to your family physician
when he prescribes whiskey as a medi
cine. Doctors are making many drunk
ards by using whiskey in typhoid fever
and many other diseases. We heard
only last week of sad case of it. DR..
Ezra NJ. Hunt says: the day is past
when, upon dietetic or medicinal
grounds, there is any indispensable
call for the moderate or habitual use
of alcoholic beverages"
DIR. Noah Davis Same as above
quoted) says: "Alcohol is neither a
food nor a generator Of force in the
human body. 1 have found nc case of
disease, and no emergency arising
from accident that l could not treat
more successfully without any form of
fermented or distilled liquor than
with"
We can qIote a score of leading
physicians who take the same posi-
ton. Our physicians should be great
temperance leaders, not p~onderers to a
liquor sentiment-not drunkard-
makers, but saviours from drinking.

One hundred years ago China held

Empress is reading a copy of the Bible,

Christian religion.
"A MOhammedan convert in Persia

rather than surrender his faith. Ayear

tact with Christians during the day.
Rev. George Muller, of Bristol,
