THE DANGERS or ALCOHOL

London Lancet.
At the meeting Of the Paris Hospit-
ais Medical Society held on Dec. Is, M.
Legendre, alarmed by the ever-increas-
ing amount of drunkenness, asked il
it would not be possible to withstand
this by means of meetings, insistence
on the dangers of alcohol, and by what
he considered an even better method,
that Of getting up for the instruction
of patients lantern shows with exhi-
billions Of anatomic preparations to
show the dangers of alcohol. NJ. Le-
gendre has had printed for the use of
all his patients little leafet, the text
of which runs as follows:
Most of the diseases treated in the
hospitals arise from alcoholic drinks
that is to say, they are either caused
or aggravated by the abuse of alcohol.
All alcoholic drinks are dangerous,
and the most harmful are those which
contain aromatics in addition to alco-
hol-as, for instance, absinthe and the
so-called aperients, called ainers.
Alcoholic drinks are more danger
Gus when taken on an empty stomach
or between meals. A man necessarily
becomes an alcoholic. e., slowly
poisoned by alcohol-even if he never
gets drunk, when every day he drinks
alcohol in the form of liquor or too
much wine, more than one litre per
diem.
Alcohol is poison the habitual
use Of which destroys more or less

the blood vessels, the heart and the
brain Alcohol excites man, but does

for it. Those who often drink alcohol
or too much wine (more than one litre
day. are much more liable to illness,
and when i'll are much worse, for the
disease is often complicated with fatal
delirium.
alcohol is a frequent cause of con-
sumption by its power of weakening
the lungs. Every year we see pa
tents who attend the hospitals for
alcoholism come back some months
later suffering from consumption.

Exan,InIng who Contradict the Statcmcnts
Of Mayor Van Wyck.
New York, May 1.-THE Mazet in
Nestigating committee resumed It's ses-
sions here to-day. Several heads of
city departments were on hand eearly
waiting to testify. Thomas L. Hamil-
ton, formerly police commissioner,
and who was yesterday denounced by
Mayor Van Wyck as a blackmailer,
was the first witness. He testified
that no police reason was assigned for
the retirement of Chief McCullagh. nor
was there any accusation or sugges-
ton of ineficiency made against him
al the meetings of the board. Mr..
Hamilton had insisted upon McCul-
lagh being retained. He denied the
statement by Mayor Van Wyck yester
day that he had used his official posi-
tion to coerce the Casino into the pay
ment of a BILL Hamilton also denied
the mayors statement that he (the
witness) had refused to vote for the
transfer of any police officer unless Mr..
Quigg or Senator Plat was agreeable.
He had told the mayor that he wished
to consult with the leaders of his party
and had mentioned Senator Platt as
one, but the consultation he desired
was in regard to passing on a resolu-
tion which defined the powers of the
chief to make the transfers. Police
Captain Herlihy, whose transfer from
a downtown station to Kings Bridge
was said to have been made because
he had made raids on pool rooms, was
s sworn. He said he had no fault to find
with his transfer by Chief Devery but,
on the other hand, was much pleased
at the change.
Philip Cohn, who had lost money in
pool rooms and made complaint to the
police, first to a sergeant and then to
an inspector, told the committee of the
trouble he had in procuring a warrant
for the arrest of the keeper of one of
the rooms, and that when the warrant
was finally issued the police claimed to

planned that the purpose OF introducing

that they did not know of the exist
ence of pool rooms in the city and to
demonstrate the fact that obstacles
were put in the way of those who
wished to prosecute pool room keepers
James A. Mahoney, with whom Mayor
Van Wyck admitted he had some bust
ness transactions, was put through
long series of questions. Mahoney adj
mitted being a book maker but de-
clined to answer the question as to
whether he is conducting pool rooms
here.
