for the Advancement OF Science. DR..
Tyson read paper before this associa.
ton in which he comes to the same con-
clusion reached by the Academy of Med
icine that alcohol is a poison, pure and
simple. He dwells upon the great
troubles 1t causes In the system. Its eff
feet upon the lungs Is to predispose them
to consumption. OF the nervous system
nc says: "But it is especially on the
nervous system that alcohol chiefly ex-
erts its destructive force, leading ulti-
mately to mental alienation. 1t is a
well-attested fact that the insane asylums
contain from one-thlrd to one-half of al
coholic PATIENTS" In continuance, Or.
TisOn says: "Alcohol acts also on the
reproductive functions, so that the pos
terity of an alcoholic does not live long,
or is subject to all sorts Of weaknesses
or maladies, nervous or mental" He
also declares, what is very evident, that
intemperance is not simply physical
evil but social and political evil as well,
and must have social and governmental
treatment as well as medical treatm
He would have instructors "teach the in
juriousness of alcohol and seek to miti-
gate it,"
While the social and governmental
treatment of intemperance is aside from
our subject, yet Mr.. Rochard of the
academy of medicine speaks so much
like prohibition crank on that point
that it seems well to quote him in this
connection. He said before the academy,
rf 81 A.
habitues of the wine-shops, the union of
those who live by alcohol with those
who die by it, ought to be opposed by all
interested In public health With
reference to legal restriction he says
81 know that this is difficult to ac-
complish. Alcohol is a terrible power.
The professional hierarchy of which
have just spoken (the manufacturers and
dealers) holds the country enlaced in the
meshes of a net of unavoidable self
interest without pity. Alcohol is the
great impartial elector which flows for
all the world on election day. But it
never allows itself to be opposed"
One would think the learned doctor had
been around here somwhere during
some of our elections, and had heard
the great cutlery of liquor sellers when
once the decent part of the community
faces them with determination and law.
If the liquor traffic can give no better
reason for its continuance than science
grants it, what argument can any give
as reason why a Christian civilization
should not suppress the whole traffic.
Is it not disgrace to submit to the en-.
tanglements of the meshes of such a
traffic? Il. J. BARTON.
