A Medical Expert on Alcohol.

DR.. A. Baer, a royal medical counsellor
and admittedly "the best informed man on
alcohol" says: "Alcohol is not a food in
the sense that it gives n the power OF
endurance or preserves strength and
health" Instead Of being a preventive OF
malaria, cholera, and other diseases, alco-
hol actually predisposes one to those evils.
The mental and moral effects OF alcoholism
are beyond description terrible. alcohol
destroys the individuality Of men, para
lives energy and makes the individual a
slave OF his passions.
