CatarrfD

The cause exists in the blood, in
what causes inflammation of the
mucous membrane.
1t is therefore impossible to cure
the disease by local applications.
1t is positively dangerous to neg
lect it, because it always affects the
stomach and deranges the general
health, and is likely to develop into
consumption.
Many have been radically and permanently cured
by Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t cieanses the blood and
has peculiar Alternative and tonic effect. II. Long
California Junction, Iowa. writes: II had catarrh
three years, lost my appetite and could not sleep.

interests of humanity.
1t would be easy to prove unanswer-
ably that alcoholic beverages are in
furious to those who use them. The
famous athlete Tom Sayers, was once
asked by gentleman: well Thomas,
! suppose that when you are training
you use plenty of beefsteaks, and Lon
don porter and pale ale?"
The boxer replied I'm my time l
have drunk more than was good for
me, but when l have business to do
there is nothing like water and the
dumbbells." After retiring from
Cuisines" he took to drink and died a
sot.
Cold water made him a Samson, al
cohol laid him in his grave. As mat
ter of personal health and long life, sit
is good not to drink wine;" as an, eX-
ample to others, total abstinence is a
Christian virtue.
The inherent wrong Of using intox-
icating drinks is two-fOld: 1t exposes
to danger the man who hampers with
it. for no man was ever positively as
cured by his Greater that he could play
with the adder that lies coiled up in a
wine cup without being stung by it, and
it puts a stumbling block in the way
of him whom we are commanded to
love as ourselves.
Low ha
that no man has moral right to do
anything the influence of which is GER
tainly and inevitably hurtful to his
neighbor. l have legal right to do
many things which as ChristianI can
not do.
l have legal right to swallow ar
senic or strychnine, but l have no NOR
al right to commit this self-destruc-
ton.
Now, on the same principle (not of
self-preservation, merely, but of avoid
ing what is dangerous to others), what
right have 1 to sustain those foun-
taSnheads of death from which the
drink poison is sold?
What right have | to advocate their
license, to patronize the traffic, or even
in any way to abet the whole system of
drinking alcoholic stimulants at home
or abroad?
If a glass of wine on my table will
entrap into dissipation some young
man or some one who is inclined to
stimulants, then l am thoughtlessly
setting trap for his life.
/ am his tempter.
l give the usage of my sanction, and
to him the direct inducement to par
take of the bottled demon that spar
kles SO seductiyely before him.

AIMED AT THE DECANTER.
a SugEen zion aS to How We Shall
Solve the Problem of the
Drink Evil.

There is a current story that a Qua
ker once discovered a thief in his house.
and, taking down his grmdfather's
fowling piece, he quietly said:
"Friend, thee had better get out of the
way, for l intend to fire this gun right
where thee stands"
With the same considerable spirit we
warn certain good people that they
had better take the decanter off their
table, for we intend to aim a Bible
truth right where that decanter
stands
1t IS in the wrong place. 1t has no
more business to be there at ali than
the thief had to be in an honest
Quaker's house. We are not surprised
to find a decanter of alcoholic poison
on the counter of dram shop whose
keeper is licensed to sell death by meas
ure, but we are surprised to fnG it on
the table or the sideboard Of one who

has defined the text as teaching that
things which are not always wrong

He says that the legal liberty of

where moral evil will necessarily flow
from it. We are never to put STUN

FROM NEWFOUNDLAND.
Instructive study of the Drink Sta
tiS1ics of the Little Island
Governments.

Newfoundland drink statistics are
very instructive. In 1870 the island
ers drank 5,644 gallons of brandy,
1920 of whisky, 10000 of rum, TO-
600 of gin and 1895 of wines. In
1900 brandy had dropped to 3 $500, rum
20 41,453, gin to 2,1O0 and wines to
$500. Whisky alone showed an in
crease; it quadrupled, or ran up to
10000 gallons. This increase is, how
ever, not altogether real. The fish
ermen who drank rum have reduced
their tipple very largely. Gin was
mostly brought from st. Pierre
Miquelon and used on the south coast,
but our anti-bait Laws have stopped
its consumption. Brandy is en-
plOyed very largely for medicinal pur-
poses and the wines and champagnes
find their chief markets in St. Johns,
1t is the same way with the whisky.
The bulk of the increase is represent
ed by our growing touriSt and hunt
ing traffic. The numbers of visitors
who come here every season by rail,
mailboat and yacht to enjoy them
selves cruising along our coast or
tramping the interior consume a
goodly share of whisky, which, as the
fashionable drink to-day, they would
be most given to. The inhabitants
of the island are themselves so alb
stemious that very moderate sup
ply of whisky would satisfy them
