liquor administered decreased and the
percentage of deaths also diminished. so
that instead of being as high as II 3 in
the year when the most liquor was used
II fell to IS. The following more par
ticular statement about the London hos
pital is quoted by Rev. Daniel Dor
chester, ID. d., from an English report:
AT the annual meeting of the London
Temperance hospital, May %, 1882, DR..
Edmunds, senior physician to the hos
pital, said that both DR.. Lee and himself
were quite clear that in looking back
upon the cases of the past year, they
had done perfectly right in not using
alcohol in any one of them. The plan of
the hospital was this: never to use alco-
hol as an article of diet at all; never to
use it in the preparation Of tinctures :
and thirdly. to employ it, if required, as
a medicine pure and simple, They had
succeeded in making the tinctures by
simply using "A solution of glycerine and
water-One part of giycerne to two of
water-whch cost merely One-tifth Of
the alcoholic tinctures in ordinary use.
The tinctures so prepared exhausted all
the preparations of the drugs, and they
kept perfectly well. Besides that Of
economy, there were other advantages,
including this: that the dispensers never
became intoxicated in making up the
medicines, as they often did in other
hospitals when the ordinary tinctures
were dsed. Alcohol. then, was only used
as medicine, and last year it had not
beer considered needful to prescribe it in
a single case. 1t used to be said that
cases of amputatiOn could not get on
well without alcohol: hut their expert
ence was the reverse. Then, during the
last eight years they had 81 cases of
typhoid fever; but so beautifully ven
tilated and admirably managed was the
hospital, that although ordinarily they
did not take infectious cases, yet these
had been received without single bad
result, and the patients with one except
ion all got well on the nOn-alcoholiC
regime. An eminent physician stated in
the British Medical journal, that they
were ieopardlzing three typhoid fever
cases by the administration of alec
hol; but he (Dr. Edmunds) invited thi:
gentleman, for the sake of comparison
to publish his mortality tables, but ht
had not yet responded and it was i'm
probable that he would do so. Tit
mortality all around had been under foul
and One-half per cent. There were many
terrible cases of accident, and the like, il

New to Hotel Ways.

Someone had told her that you al
ways have to register, but she wasn't
used to hotels; that was apparent from
the way she fingered behind the old
time travelling man who stood by the
clerks desk. She wanted to see how it
was done. The old fellow had had the
same room in the house for nine years.
1t was always kept for him; No. 63 on
the second floor. He had wired three
days before that he was coming, so it
was all ready for him. He dipped the
pen in the inkwell and with an extra
flourish or two, scratched down the
names, James Edward Clifford"
THE same old thing?' he asked OF
the clerk.
"Yeup," was the answer.
Whereupon Mr.. Clifford wrote down
opposite his name 90.
Then the bellboy grabbed his travel
ing case and conducted him TO the ele-
vator.
The clerk dipped the pen in the ink
and handed it to the demure maiGea
who had stood behind the old traveller
She glanced al The last name on the
page, then turned for a parting look
at the form just passing into the ele-
yator car. She laid her handkerchief
and packet-bCok on the desk and wrote
Faith Merreweather."
Then she shot tine clerk a modest lit
tie elance and finished out the line by
placing % after The signature. She
looked up blusAi1e.
The clerk smiled, and when he haC
whispered a room number to the porter
and the girl had passed behind thu

the hospital now; but experience showed
that they got on better without alcohol
than with it."
review by Sir Benjamin Ward Richard
son, NJ. D., of 500 cases treated in the
same hospital during the two years end
ing March 81, 1894, In which he says:
"By comparison with other hospitals, 1t
would be easy to show that a mortality of ia
per cent out of so many examples of acute
and serious disease is as good n return as
could have been obtained in any other hos.
pital. Throughout there was no selection of
patients for the trial. On the contrary, the
instruction was for the resident staff to re-.
ceiye every case, however severe, and so
soon as convalescence would allow for the
removal of patients under recovery, their
beds were vacated at once in order that new
and pressing occupants should be admitted.
The wards were always well charged, there
fore, with persons suffering from acute or
very serious chrome disease. The general
result is, consequently, most satisfactory.
Nevertheless, | do not rest on the general
outcome Having no prejudice against alec.
hol as medicine, and having no desire to
breathe word that leans improperly on one
side or the other, having no object in view
but to collect facts derived from natural
observation, | have questioned myself seri-
ously whether there was single case ending
fatally that could have been benefted-shall
! say saved-by the administration of alcohol?
Unhesitatingly and conscientiously, believe
there was not. When | was accustomed TO
prescribe alcohol J should have prescribed ii
in every one of the fatal cases, not, in all
probability, with the expectation that they
would have recovered under its use rs a
matter of necessity, but from habit, ard from
so ingrained an idea that its employment was
such a necessity that if they had died In large
numbers should still have believed that its
administration was right In like manner,
and for the same reasons, should have al
administered alcohol largely in the 60 per
cent of cases that recovered, and in the 81
per cent. of cases that were relieved; and if
any of these had died should not for mo
ment have assumed that alcohol had
anything to do with the death. ! should also
have been sure to have believed that in every
instance where alcohol was given, it had
assisted the recovery; a belief which we now
see had no actual foundation, since recovery
without alcohol was certainly as good, ant
| III many instances better"

MAKING CANDlEO CITRON
1t Goes Through a Complicated Process
Before Ready for Use.

Before Ready for Use.
The making of what we call citron
is a complicated process.
The fruit from which the finished
product is made is very like large
lemon eight or 10 pounds in weight. 1t
grows in groves in Corsica and Gala
bria upon trees about 6 feet in height.
The first process is to cut the fruit
in halves and take out the cores, which
are discarded. The peel is then sealed
in barrels of salt water for two or three
weeks 1t is then withdrawn and
soaked for q days in a succession of
syrups, beginning with eight parts
of sugar to 20 of water until the final
one contains 20 parts of sugar to one
part water.
The fruit thus treated is then cooked
in a number of large cauldrons, where
it SINNERS for "a hours. When cool it
is skinned, cooked again with fresh
syrup, cooled and cooked a third time.
While still hot it is packed in wooden
boxes, in which it is sold by wholesale.
The peel thus treated will keep for 10
years, although the fresher it is the
better. The slightly bitter flavor of pre-
served citron is caused by the soaking
in salt water. Two hundred people are
employed in the factory. The women
receive IS cents day.

should Alcohol he Used in the Treatment
of Disease? Experience of the London
Temperance Hospital.
1t has been assumed by most people
that it is often necessary to administer
alcohol in cases of sickness and accident.
This has been accepted as almost an AK
ION. Physicians prescribe it and patients
ask for it. And yet it has long been
evident that the use of alcoholic spirits
in a time of sickness has been the means
of awakening or stimulating an appetite
for them. and of forming habit which
has wrought serious and even ruinOus
results. So harmful has liquor often
proved to be when used in this way, that
if any substitute can be employed. which
will have all the good effects and avoid
all the evil, it should be warmly wei
coined. Those who like liquor too well
and are glad of an excuse to use it, will
of course have pre- judce against a sub
stitute, but the question with many is,
whether it would be- safe to dispense with
liquor in cases where it is commonly
used, and whether the desired improve
ment would be as satisfactorily secured.
The writer lays no claim to be able to
do more than furnish the experience of
certain hospitals where the experiment
of dispensing with liquors has been tried
successfully.
The London Temperance hospital was
established in 1873, and is a large institu-
ton. 1t is stated that it was not designed
as total-abstinence hospital, but merely
to discourage the use of alcohol in the
treatment of disease. The remarkable
feature of its practice is, however, that In
the quarter of century of its existence
alcohol has been administered but e
times. For the first eight and one hall
years the total number of patients re
ceived was 1854, and 81 deaths occurred
or 5 per cent. The parallel with the
experience of the Manchester Royal in
firmary during the same period Il
nearly but not quite fair one. and thV,
liquor was used though In steadily
diminishing quantity. The average pc
cent. of deaths each year was s Z, o.
nearly twice what it was In the Ten
perance hospital. Furthermore, in tn,
Manchester institution, while the number
of patients increased, the amount o

Sir William Turner shows that among
civilized races men have the advantage
over women in internal capacity OF
the Uranium and in weight of brain
itself. While the average brain weight
of the European male is from forty
nine ounces to fifty ounces, in the fe-
male it is only forty-fou ounces to
forty-five ounces. The difference in
size and weight begins at birth. Nor
is the inequality confined to European
races. 1t is observable among savages
though in lesser degree. Man is not
only the larger and stronger animal
but is fitted with a larger and more
powerful supply of brains.
