Soldiers Fight Better without Drink

Soldiers Fight Better Without Drink.
LIQUOR has until recently played so i'm
portant role Ia warfare, to the horrors
of which It has in no small measure con-
tributed, that the fact OF Sir Horatio
Kitcbener's recent victory at Atbara, in
composed exclusively OF total abstainers
calls for serious consideration and atten-
tion. 1t Is probably the first occasion that
SO brilliant feat of arms has been
achieved by body of white troops who for
months previously had not been permitted
to touch drop Of any kind of stimulant
whatsoever. For If not only Tommy At
kins' of the line. but even his comrade,
SANDY" of the Highland regiments, whose
name suggests whisky. have refrained from
alcohol in any form whatsoever, and have
restricted themselves to tea, lime juice and
Nile water, it cannot be attributed to any
conscientious scruples on their part or to
the sudden development Of high-fiedged
principles on the score OF drink, but solely
to the establishment Of q new system by
the British military authorities, which is
exciting a good deal OF interest on the part
OF the War Departments OF Continental
Europe, and which, in view of the conflict
Spain. may likewise commend itself to
Secretary Alger and General Miles.
1t seems that for some time, by orders of
Field Marshal Lord Wolseley. the British
Commander-in-Ch Chief careful and eXhaus-
tive experiments have been in progress
with a view to ascertaining the relative
effects of alcohol and of total abstinence
upon the physical endurance and staying
qualities of the troops. Advantage has
been taken both Of the annual maneuvers,
us we'll as of these petty wars Of which
England has few on land In one part or
another OF the world almost all the time,
to examine carefully the question. One
regiment would be deprived of every drop
Of stimulant, while another belonging to
the same brigade would be allowed to pur-
chase as usual its malt liquors at the can
teen, and a third, probably Highland
corps, would receive n sailors ration Of
grog in the form of whisky. In each in
stance the experiment went to show that,
whereas at first the corps which had re-
ceived an allowance OF grog surpassed the
others in dash and In impetuosity of Mt
tack, yet that after the third or fourth day
its members began to show notable signs
of lassitude and u lack OF spirit and endur-
nnce. The same manifestations, though in
minor and slower degree, were apparent
in the regiments restricted to malt liquors,
whereas the men who had been kept from
every kind of stimulant increased in stay
ing power, alertness and vigor every day.
Tho result OF these experiments led the
British War Department to decide, not on
the ground of principle, but solely for the
sake of maintaining the powers of endur-
lnce of the troops now engaged in the Sou
lan campaign, not to permit single drop
Of stimuiant in camp.

When the history of Paine's celery

quickly established his reputation and
prominence among his professional
brethren.
He was fully alive to the dangers at
tendant upon the American way of liv-
ing, and he sought diligently for some
common-sense remedy that would cure
the common evils, which. under one
name and another, result from an UNI
healthy state of the nervous system.
His labors were crowned with glorious
success, and he gave to the medical
profession the celebrated remedy which
has won worldwide fame as Paines
