W. who ought 10 drink
beer should coniine himself to whisky
the consequences might be disastrous
ami the sans should be- true when a
man whom nature has marked for a
whisky drinkcr duvotes most OF his
bIbulous energy to beer. says writer
IN a New York paper
There Is an the difference IN the
world between the two beverages.
They are made. In the first place. OF diff
ieront materials Beer being a spark
ling beverage Is heavily charged In the
process OF fermentation with carbonic
acid gas. while whisky IL quiet and, Ia
this respect. inonenslye Beer contains
very little alcohol IN proportion TO the
whole quantity Of fluid. sometimes but
I per cent. while whisky contains from
20 to ~ per cent Beer b.. therefore,
largely made mp OF water Whisky
has very little water in its composition
Beer has bead" while whisky has
none, Beer is liable TO spoil unless kept
cold. Whisky will keep well at any
temperature.
Adulteratcd beer Is, without Quos-
ton. much more unhealthful than pure
beer made Of hops and malt but when
the healthfulness Of any sort OF beer is
compared with whisky ii b. not SO
much the ingredients Of the beer that
enter into the question AS the general
character Of the liquid. and the eifec,
OF great quantities OF u on certain or
gans, especially the liver. the Kidneys
AMI the bladder.
\ man who habItually drinks beer
takes much greater quantity Of liquid
Into his system than one who drinks
whisky II would. therefore. stand 10

ful. admitting that they are harmful.
the bcer-drIuker would suffer the more
Il Is also important 20 bear in mind
that there Is great difference 90 tenn

uals A man who can drink beer In
considerable quantities with little bad

The other hand there arr many persons
accustomed TO whisky who are injur-
,ously affected Immediately on drinking
beer.
Since u would be- dlflcult TO obtain
proper subjects for an experiment Of
this sort ., will probably answer the
purpose to compare beer-drinkIng coun-
tries. districts aud nations. with those
that drink little beer but consume
sr.at quantities OF whisky. An oppor-
unity for such a comparison is afford
I'd in studying the health statistics OF
the north and south OF England
The percentage OF deaths iu the south
OF England Is somewhat larger but the
mos, curious difference between the
two sections o. that. while the north
Is comparatively free from govt and
rheumatism. those diseases are very
prevalent In the south. Gout and rheu-
maiism are found TO prevail especially
in manufacturing cities. where much
nrrr porter and ale are drunk The
same Is true Of cities In Germany
whereas iu scotland aud in spain there

So striking has been the coincidence
OF the association Of equity disease with
the habit Of beer drinking that doctors
have concluded there must be- some
pathological connection between them
II has also been found In individual
cases that many patients who COMPLAIN
OF govt have been beer drinkers and
that they experience relief Immediate.
