NATURE LIKE SHYL0CK.
The Merciless Creditor Demands That
All Debts be Fully Paid.
RESULT A PHYSICAL WRECK.
How Liquor Drinkers Borrow Strength
From the Bank OF Health at Usuri-
Gus Rates. The Right
Remedy,

Nature is an memorable accountant.
She will lend strength and energy, but
when the debt is due she collects the
full amount, with "a ruinous interest.
A man feels the need Of more yigor
Of muscle, more vivacity OF mind, than
he has naturally. He has borrowed
bodily capital and he goes on repeating
the loan from time TO time. One day
his merciless creditor demands a settle
ment. There is little to pay with, hut
Natnra ewes on everything, leaving.
when the debt is paid, u wrecked body
and responding heart.
There is small need TO argue with a
nan addicted to strong drink. He knows
better than any temperance orator in
the land what an internal habit he has
fallen into. lie realizes perfectly that
he is hopelessly handicapped in the race
for riches and honor.
DIR. Day, of Boston, says: "The effect
of vicious alcohol indulgence is disease
of the body |; ooner or later il must sue
cumb. Diseased of the mind is not far
off; it may be delirinm or insanity"
DIR. Formal, of Philadelphia, examin
ed the bodies Of $50 hard drinkers
Nearly 80 per cent. had fatty livers ;
sixty per cent. had diseased brains and
inflamed stomachs, while not quite one
per cent had normal kidneys.
Statistics may appeal to a drunkard's
reason. They may scare him for a time,
but they will not keep him sober. He
has n disease, and he must be treated
accordingly. The most successful and
intelligent treatment for the cure of
drunkenness Is that perfected by X. A..
Gum. M. d.. Al East 2lst street, New
York City. DIR Gum has devoted many
years to the study of the physiological
effects of alcohol on the system. and
now offers the results of his investiga-
tons as q positive and harmless cure
for all kinds Of alcoholism.
A conspicuous advantage OF this treat
ment is that it may be administered by

toms are misunderstood by patients and
physician. In the pitiless struggle for exist
ence the sick are at an awful disadvantage.
They are trampled under foot like lame
wolves in the rush of their strong and
hungry fellows. Small wonder Is IL that the
invalid, gloomily rejecting on what he be-
lieves TO be his hopeless state, resorts TO
pistol or poison; TO the rope or the river.
A few dry words from his doctor have
fallen on his ear like a d~eath-sentence. In
some medical book the sufferer has read of
deadly diseases with symptoms such as he
noted In himself. He concludes he has some
disease he has read about, an inference as
natural as it is unwarranted. Pride, duty and
love are powerless TO hold thesuicide's hand.
Among the readers Of this article may be
some who have pondered long on the ques-
ton whether q sick life is worth living, yet
have not reached that pitch of despair when
they would push themselves across the line
between time and eternity. To them a few
words of simple, temperate common sense.
How do you know that you cannot be as
well and strong as any OF your ~neighbors2

After some discussion the resolution was
referred to the committee on resolutions.
At this stage of the proceedings DR.. Mary

and preceded to read a resolution, in
which a whereas stated something about
the attraction Of gravity pulling toward
the center of the earth. and a resolution
declared that in order to prevent the at
traction of gravity from pulling women's
skirts down, greatly to the injury Of health,
members of the gentler sex should wear
pants. DR.. Walker spoke on her resolution
just five minutes, which was all the time
she could secure under the rules after
which there was tremendous applause,
though no action on the resolution was
taken.
At IL: :45 am. an adjournment was taken
until II O'clock
