ALCOHOL IN THE TROPICS.

The use OF alcohol by Europeans liv-
ing the tropical climates has long been
known to be harmful in the highest
degree. What an immense advantage
total abstinence brings is pointed out
in way that is. nevertheless, almost
startling by Major ibrig, an army sur
geon who has served Tor twenty-five
years in the Dutch East Indies. The
Lancet presents an abstract of a pa
per which Major fibrig recently read
at AiXla-Chapeue.
Up 10 1898, IL appears, every Dutch
soldier serving in the tropics received
oi wine. In that year the ration was
cut in half, and the soldier was allow
ed to draw its money value instead
OF the liquor. The officers were given
a similar option, and under their lead
large numbers OF the soldiers became
before long total abstainers. Then Ma
jor fibrig began to make systematic
comparisons between drinkers and
nondrinkers.
I Even within the first three months.
he says, there was remarkable di-
minution in the amount of sickness.
Discipline improved. and the soldiers
showed an ability TO endure fatigue
and priyation to degree he had never
before observed. Drinkers would ap-
pear in as good condition as abstain
ers so long as peace lasted, but as
soon as there was call TO active SER
vice and they were put to the test
OF hard work the drinkers began to
succumb. Suicides were invariably
consumers OF liquor. The proportion
OF deaths from palGstrnl fevers, haze
maturia, cholera, dyse cry, cirrhosis
of the liver, neurasthenia, cephalagia
and surgical injuries was far higher
among the drinkers. Many of the
drinkers who resisted disease became
moral wrecks, losing all energy and
Initiative" and were unfit for the SER
vice.
Major Fibrig himself has been to-
tai abstainer for ten years. He has
ceased to require midday siesta.
Hard work in the heat has no bad eff
feet on him, and though he is 46 he
recently took part in an arduous cam
paign, requiring long and toilsome
marches. with little discomfort.
In the principal garrison towns OF
the Dutch East Indies refreshment
rooms or canteens have now been
opened which either sell no alcoholic
drinks or nothing stronger than a
light, wholesome beer.
