ANCIENTs DRANK TO EXCESS.
Tipping PrOcIivities of the People
of Early Times.

From the Manchester Guardian.
w. L. Brown, a medical man with a
taste for the archaeology of his profess
sion, has brought together some interest
ing matter as to "Inebriety Amongst the
Aucients" The gods of corn and wine
were worshipped by ancient peoples;
John Barleycorn" has ancestors in the
pantheon of the Egyptians, Phoenicians
and Hittites, and the Bacchc festivals
have had their parellels in many lands.
Alexander the great gave a prize to the
winner in a drinking match. Thirty-six
men died from this debauch. Alexander
himself affords a striking example of
great career cut short by drunkness.
The aim of the ancient doctors was not
to cure intemperance, but was rather an
effort in the hopeless direction of en-
abNng men to drink excessively with inn
punity. To prevent the fumes" of the
wine from ascending to the brain and to
eliminate the fumes" from the body was
the desire of the ancient physician. The
liquor was often diluted with water and
favored with ingredients which We're be-
lieved to mitigate its intoxicating proper
ties Unguents and wreaths were used.
Dresses of amethyst color were regarded
as Misunderstanding. Many and strange

greater favor on the water cure, and gives
pictures from monuments of the vigorous
application of this and other remedies.
Drunkards. he tells us, were roughly
treated in ancient Egypt where imprison-
ment and the stick were invoked against
them In the middle ages the penalties of
the church were brought TO bear, while
degrading punishments such as the stocks

other penalties. At one time frogs liver
and hedge-hog's liver were burned toge-
Their and the ashes placed i'm a bag which
the topper carried about, not to keep him
sober. but 10 save him from the natural
results of drunkness.
