have to be physician to understand the
causes of impure blood or its far-reaching
effects. When a mans digestion is disor-
dered, his liver sluggish, his bowels mac
tive, the blood is deprived of the proper
food elements, and the sluggish liver a1d
bowels supply in their place, the foulest
of poisons. The blood is the life stream.
When it is full of foul poisons, it carries
and deposits them in every organ and it's

A scientific Lecture nu,e.,

A number Of thoughtful temperance
workers have expressed a strong con-
vlcii0n that the time has come for a
new class OF teachers on the platform.
The public has lost much Of lis former
interest In the emotional appeals OF re.
vivalists and alarmists. who seek 10
build up a following on fear and eH.
element. and the narration OF sad. Bit
ter experiences. II was estimated that
over a thousand men and women were
teaching the evils Of alcohol from the
platform continually all over the eoun-
try last year. Al least half Of this
number are occupied all the time and
many OF them are most earnest. ex-
cellent workers. doing a great deal OF
good. A large number Of clergymen
urge the moral side OF this evil on all
occasions. and a number Of what are
called reformed drinkers make their
own experience text and subject OF
warning In almost endless harangues.

ments. real and doubtful. with the ar.

than any oratorlcal presentation OF
them, but these facts are often mex.

variety Of opinions are expressed. This
confusion Of theory and effort to un.

During the past few years great

These facts have now accumulated and
become sufficiently established to b.

II Is believed that a large number OF
temperance workers would welcome q
series Of scientific lectures on this side
OF the drink problem. II ia proposed
TO establish a lecture bureau for the
purpose OF bringing these recent mod
ern researches on the effects Of alcohol
and the disease Of inebriety before
popular audiences Of persons interested
In this subject. This bureau Is slmpl,
