, ALCOHOL FOR THE SICK.
The Good II Does In Some Cases Sci
entifically EXPLAINED.

entifically Explained.
In the first place, the idea that a
stimulant gives strength must nc
longer be entertained; it certainly does
not contribute muscular force or ner-
vous energy. The action Of alcohol
causes a temporary general accelera-
ton Of the circulation and increases
afflux of blood to the brain and visce-
ra, and Of this the physician may take
advantage. Such action may permit
the evolution Of energy, but only at
the expense of blood and tissue; the
energy itself Is not supplied by the al
cohol.
In prescribing alcohol in chronic
diseases the first thing is to take care
not to do harm. Alcohol has no place
in the treatment of weakness in child
hood. The most treacherous employ
ment of stimulants at any period of
life is their administration for the re-
lief Of depression or Of sensations de-
scribed as Sinking" or subjective
feelings Of weakness, even though such
subjective sensations be accompanied
by weakness of the pulse. Doubtless
the immediate effect Of the administra-
ton of alcohol under such circum-
stances is distinct and agreeable, but
reaction Is inevitable. Disease Of eth
Ell kidney or liver may almost be re-
garded as a bar to stimulants. A good
word, however, is to be said, accord
ing to the experience of DR.. A. Ran
some, for the use of alcohol in phthisis
and tuberculous diseases.
In debility, moreover, stimulants
properly employed are Of great value.
They should only be taken at meals,
and their beneficial effects are to be
estimated by the increase in the
amount of food which is taken with
their aid. In selecting a stimulant
then, the criterion is not it's chemical
constitution. but it's effect on the ap-
petite and digestion.
In acute febrile disease stimulants
are now generally given with judg-
ment and in moderation. Time was,
however, when the treatment of fever
practically resolved itself into the ad-
ministration Of brandy, and this idea
has not even yet been entirely uproot-
ed from the public mind. Thus we are
constantly called upon to withstand
the entreaties Of friends who imagine
that the obvious weakness Of the pa
tient calls imperatively for stimulants
In acute febrile disease stimulants
should in no case be given in the early
stages, but should be withheld as long
as possible.
When stimulants promote sleep and
diminish restlessness and agitation
they are doing good. On the other
hand, should they cause excitement, or
sleeplessness, or increase the frequency
OF the pulse, or set up gastric or intes-
tinal arrangement, they are doing
harm.-From the Hospital

Gastonia Gazette, June 10: Beginning
July 21st and continuing for ten days
there will be held at Jones Seminary,
All Healing, a Summer Bible confer
ence for ministers Of the Associate Re-
formed Presbyterian church. 1t is de-
signed especially for those Of this
Presbytery, but ministers will be in at
tendance from other presbyteries Of
the synod. Forty or fifty preachers
will be in attendance and the confer
ence promises to be both a profitable
and pleasant occasion. Rev. ]. Knox
Montgomery, of Charlotte, chairman Of
the committee of arrangements, Is pre-
pairing an elaborate programme which
will be made public as soon as COM
pleted. This is an ideal place for such
gathering and the prospects are that
the attendance will be large. 49,. Rev.
M. Meg. Shields, the popular pastor
Of the Presbyterian church here, left
yesterday morning for Nicholasville,
KY. Mr. Shields has received a call
from the First Presbyterian church Of
that place and as a result Of his visit
will decide whether he will accept the
call. He has been pastor Of the church
here for the past six years and has
greatly endeared himself not only to
his church, but to the town. and there
would be a general feeling Of regret
should he accept the call. The church
that secures him for pastor may in
deed count itself fortunate. >. Twenty
five or more operatives from the de-
stroyed mills at Clifton and Pacolet
arrived here the first of the week. A
number Of them have obtained en-
ployment in the local mills, the Loray
alone taking about fifteen. A large
number also passed through enroute
to the mills along the line Of the Car
olina and North Western railway. The
generosity Of the Southern railway in
furnishing free transportation both for
the operatives and their baggage to
points where employment could be OBJ
tained has been a great help to these
people who were left practically PEN
niless. 80. Owing to the failure to Sc
cure Governor Aycock as speaker, and
to the shortness Of time for adequate
preparation, it has been decided not
to celebrate the Fourth Of July in Cas-
tonia this year. This will be disap-
pointment to many, but we hope that
all will find consolation in anticpat-
ing so much the bigger and better time
next year.
