What is one animals meat may be
truly another's poison. Mr.. J.. p.
Harting lately reported to the Lon
don Linnean Society several cases in
which parrots had been poisoned by
eating parsley; and he recalled that
on the other hand, berries of the yew
and privet, held to be poisonous to
man, are greedily eaten by blackbirds
thrushes and other birds. Cases are
on record, however, of the poisoning
of pheasants by yew leaves. The i'm

The physiological effects of alcohol
still attract much attention. Speak
ing to a British temperance society,
Mr.. Victor Horsiey stated that though
himself rabid teetotaler, he could
not endorse the assertions on this
subject often made on temperance
platforms. But the harmful ten
dency of even small doses Of Alcohol
has been definitely proven in recent
experiments. The nervous system is
injuriously affected by it, the oxida-
ton necessary to protoplasm OF the
brain is diminished, and a certain
amount of tissue degeneration is pro
duced, even in healthy persons, Hos
pital practice with alcohol has great
ly changed during the last halt-cen-
fury. In cases of pneumonia and
typhoid fever, milk has been largely
substituted for the alcohol formerly
used, and in surgery the antiseptic
system of Lord Lister has made al
cohol unnecessary.
