Decline Of Alcohol as a Medicine.
BY T. D. cRoTHERs. M. D,

b1 = Ds CaOIdEkS, M De
Thoughtful observers recognize that
alcohol as a medicine is rapidly becoming
a thing of the past. Ten years ago lead
ing medical men and textbooks spoke of
stimulants as essentials of many diseases,
and defended their use with warmth and
positiveness. To-day this is changed.
Medical men seldom refer to spirits as
remedies, and when they do, express
great conservatism and caution. The
text books show the same changes,
although some dogmatic authors refuse
to recognize the change of practice, al d
still cling to the idea of the food value Ct
spirits.
Druggists who supply spirits to the
profession recognize a tremendous DROP
ping off in the demand. A distiller, who,
ten years ago. sold many thousand gall
Ions of choice WHISTLES almost exclu-
sively to medical men, has lost his trade
altogether and gone u of business.
Wine men, too, recognize this change,
and are making every effort to have wine
used in the place of spirits in the sick
room. Proprietary medicine dealers are
putting all sorts of compounds of wine
with iron, bark, etc., on the market with
the same idea. 1t is doubtful If any O
these. will be able to secure any perma-
nent place in therapeutics.
The fact is, alcohol is passing out of
practical therapeutics because it's real
action is becoming known. Facts are
accumulating in the laboratory, in tie
autopsy room, at the bedside, and in the
work of experimental psychologists,
which show that alcohol is a depressant
and a narcotic; that it cannot build up
tissue, but always acts as a degenerative
power; and that its apparent effects of
raising the hearts action, and quicken
ing functional activities are misleading
and
French and German specialists have
denounced spirits both as a beverage and
a medicine, and shown by actual demon
s~tratfon that alcohol is a poison and a
depressant, and that any therapeutic
action it is assumed to have Is open to
question.
All this is not the result of agitation
and wild condemnation by persons who
feel deeply the sad consequences of the
abuse of spirits. 1t is simply the out
come of the gradual accumulation of
facts that have been proven with the
observation of every thoughtful person.
The exact or approximate facts relating
to alcohol can now be tested by instru-
ments of precision. We can weigh and
measure the effects, and it is not essential
to theorize or Speculate; we can test and
prove with reasonable certainty what was
before a matter of doubt.
Medical men who doubt the value of
spirits are no more considered fanatics or
extremists, but as leaders along new and
wider lines of research. Alcohol in
medicine, except as a narcotic and
anesthetic, is rapidly falling into disfavor,
and will soon be put aside and forgotten.

Perfect Love casteth Out Fear.

Walter, a little boy of five yesrs, timid
and afraid of the dark, read upon the
wall of a home this passage of Scripture:
"Perfece love casteth ont fear" 'What
does that mean, mamma ?" And the
mamma explained: "If you love God our
Father with all your heart, you will trust
Him always to care for you, aud believe
that He will, 30 that you will not be
afraid of anything anywhere" At even
ing hour, before the lamps were lighted,
and it was growing dark, Walter was
missing, and he stayed some time. At
last he came from a room upstairs, where
he had been staying alone in the dark.
Throwing his arms around his mothers
neck, and kissing her he said: mamma,
now l know that perfect love casteth out
fear; for I have been alone in the dark,
and l am not afraid. - Western Christian

A Winter Cruise Among the Trop-

[Wm. s. Harker. of Mullica Hill,
having been one of the party. kindly sent
a copy of the letter, written by q fellow
voyager, describing the trip, and, believ-
ing it will interest many of his friends
who are readers of the MoNIToR-REeIs-
TER, we have been asked that It be given
space in these columns
Mr.. Frederick Bucher, who recently
returned from q trip to the West Indies
and other tropical islands, has written,
expressly for the Daily Spy. a brief ac-
count of his trip 10 which he describes
the habits and manners of the people
whom he saw and met, the building of
the different cities he visited, the scenery
and other interesting details.
The letter, which is very interesting as
we'll as instructive, will be published

follows:

posed trip to Mexico with a number of
my friends, after having all business mat
tiers arranged for the trip. l saw the adj
vertisement that the International Navi-
cation company's steamship Ohio would
make a trip to the tropics. I Joined the
party and left Philadelphia on February
9Th. We were detained on the quarantine
grounds at the breakwater by q heavy fog.
After four days rough sailing we land

happy day was spent in driving and
travelling about to see the sights of the
land of palms and flowers, and vegetables
of different ~kinds-onions the chief crop.
Potatoes we're planted, some of which
were half grown and a big crop already
dug. Also saw large patches of bananas.
The white washed houses and roofs were
a grand sight among the beautiful green,
not forgetting the bright blue waters of
the bay and the excellent driving roads.
After three days sailing again. with q
temperature of from so to rs degrees, on
the morning of February 18th, we came

A little after 8 O'Clock in the morning
we landed. 1t being Sunday morning we
were surprised, as every thing goes here,
