An Intellectual Treat.

Reported for the Democratic Advocated
On Thursday evening, December lst., a
large and appreciative audience gathered in
Reeds Hall at Eldersburg fer the purpose of
hearing DR.. Kennedy, an eminent physician
of Wilmington, Delaware. His subject was
the effect of alcohol on the human body.
The doctor is an ardent advocate of the doe
trine of that abstinence and his lecture was
much enjoyed by all present. An especial
feature of the lecture was the introduction of
many humorous incidents, illustrating the
difficulty of breaking from the alcoholic habit
Besides being skilful physician and a
temperance advocate, DR.. Kennedy is an en-
thusiastic phrenologist and on Friday evening
he gave an informal talk on that subject in
Reeds Hall. No doubt there are among us
the germs of great poets and philosophers and
warriors and it may be DIR. Keunedy's mis-
sion to discover and bring out their latent
capabilities.
During the lecture on Thursday evening
DR.. Kennedy read a little poem written by
himself. |. was entitled "Why Men Drink
and shows the doctor to be a poet of more
than ordinary ability, in addition to his other
accomplishments.
During his stay here DIR. Kennedy is the
guest of Mr.. John Reed of Eldersburg.
