ALCOHOL as MEDICINE.
Cases in Which Its Use Is Not in ANY
Way Deleterious

In the first place, the idea that q
stlmuiant gives strength must no longer
be entertained, ii certainly does not con-
tribute muscular force or nervous energy
The action of alcohol causes a tenporary
acceleTatiOn of the circulation and in
creased attluX Of blood TO the brain and
Ylscera, and Of this the physician may
take advantage. Such action may permit
the evolution of energy. but only AZ the
expense OF blood and tissue: the energy
itself is not supplied by the alcohol
In prescribing alcohol in chronic dis
ease the first thing is 10 take care not to
do harm. Alcohol has no place in the
treatment of weakness in childhood.
/ ne most treacherous emplc .,ment of
stlmuants at any period of life is their
administration for the relief of depres-
SION or of sensations described a. ''Sink-
lng- or of subjective feelings of weak
ness. even though III subjective Spusa-
mons he accompanied by weakness of the
pulse. Doubtless the immediate effect of
the administration of alcohol under such
circumstances Is distinct and agreea bile
but reaction is inevitable. Disease of
either kidney or liver mag almost be re-
Sarded as bar to Stinulanis. \ good
word, however. is tn be said, according
20 the experience of Or. A. Ransome. for

culous diseases. In debility. moreover.
stlmulants pronerly employed are of
great value. They should only he 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 Il stimulant. then. the
criterion Is not its chemical constitutions
but its effect on the appetite and diges-
tiOu.
In acute febriie disease stimulants are
now generally given with judgment and
in moderation. Time was, however.
when the treatment Of fever practically
resolved itself into the administration
of brandy, ana this idea has not even
yer been entirely uprOoted from the pub
lie mind. Thus we are constantly called
upon To withstand the entrcatieS of
friends who imagine that the obvious
weakness of the patient calls Imperative
~ for Stimulants. In acute febrile dis
ease StimulantS should in no ease be
given IN the early stages but should be
withheld as long as possible.
When Stmulants promote sleep and di-
miniSh reStleSsneSs and agitation they
are doing good. On the other hand.
should they cause excitement or siccpleSs-
ness, or increase the frequency of the
pulse. or set up gastric or intestinal de-
ran@ement, they are doing harm. The
od0r "f the breath is to some extent a
guide. In febrile complaints the smell of
wine or spirits very quickly disappears
from the breath. If it fingers. or if the
foul after-odor of the spirit drinker he
recognized, the stimulant should he with

HOME OF CASHMERE sHAwLs.
Melancholy Decline of Once Flourishing
Industry.

y New Yorker who is now living in
Shadipore, India, in the vale of CASH
mere, the home of the beautiful Cash
mere shawl, gives Il melancholy account
OF the decline of great and famous in
duStry. These rare and costly shawl~
which were so much priced in the days
Of our grandmothers and handed down
as heirlO0ms from mother to daughter
are still made in Cashmere, but their
glory has departed, and the cheap and
seductive aniline dye has displaced the
soft and beautiful colOrings in the old
time vegetable dyes. The men who I'M
derStand their manipulation have gone
to more lucrative fields, or else they lie
i'll humble grave yards hard by the strag-
Cling village streets, and the wild iris
clothes their resting places with coIors
far more delicate than any they ever
mixed.
The Cashmere shawl industry received
lis death blow during the Franco Prus-
sian war, at the breaking M of the
French court. The shawls We're broiI.sh1
to France for the great Napoleon. and
fashion immediately set her seal upon
them. But when the court of Napoleon
III. crumbled in the dust the vogue of
the Cashmere shawl fell with it ana
famine and distress invaded the far
away valleys of Cashmere. Shadipore.
which was once one OF the centers OF
the Cashmere shawl industry. is beau
tifully located in a valley at the juno
ton of the Sind and Jhelum rivers.
Numerous herds of cattle find rich pas
turage on the surrounding hills, and the
giant chenar, the glory of Cashmere.
makes the valley lock like a park. But
the village has shrunk to a mere hamlet
of rickety houses, and the luxuriant
vegetation fails to cover its baroness and
poverty. What is left of the shawl in
dustry is carried on by boys and men,
who earn from two to eight annas n
day. or from 4 to s cents in American
coinage For this beggarly sum they sit
all day long at the looms. which are al
most as forlorn as themselves in appear
ance, for they date back To the days of
prosperity. and are held together by Il
generous use of string.
There is just enough demand for the
shawls to keep the industry alive. Rich
Cashmerians like to wear Cashmere
shawls. and also employ them as drap-
cries. and few find their way to central
Asia and Thibet.-New York Tribune.
