The only really efficient way in which
to control the diseases due 10 immortality
is to diminish the vice which is the cause
of these diseases. Excessive indulgence
in strong drink is absolutely certain to

while disease due to RIGHTEOUSNESS pro-
duces effects which are quite as destruc-
tive and even more Ioathsome.
1T is the duty OF regimentaI and partic-
ularly of company officers to try by pre-
cept and example to point out to the men
under their control, and particuIarly to
the younger men, the inevitable misery
and disaster which follow upon intcmper-
ance and upon moral uncIeanIiness and
vicious living. The officers should OF
