Alcohol VS.. Iona Life.

It is very easy to prove that the in
fluence of alcohol, as OF every other
poison. is to shorten life. DR.. Willard
Parker of New York, shows from sta
tistics that for every ten temperate
persons who die between the ages OF
twenty-one and thirty. ifty-one intem-
peratc persons die. Thus it appears
that the mortality of liquor users is
five hundred Per cent greater than
that of temperate persons. These fig-
ures are based on the tables used
by life insurance companies.
Notwithstanding the constant pro-
test of both moderate and immoderate
drinkers, that alcohol does not harm
them, that it is a necessary stimulus,
a preventive of fevers, colds. consump-
ton etc, and the assertion of certain
chemists that it is a conservative
agent. preventing waste. and so pro-
longing life, the distinguished English
actuary. Mr.. Nelson, has shown from
statistical data which cannot be gain
said. that while the temperate man
has at twenty years of age an aver
age chance of living forty-four and
one-fifth years, the drinking man has
a prospect of only fifteen and one-half
years of life. At thirty years OF age
the temperate man may expect thirty
six and one-half years more OF life,
while the dram-drinker will be pretty
certain to die in less than fourteen
years.
On the other hand, the Rechabite
societies in England show statistics
clearly indicating that total abstinence
is in the highest degree conducive TO
longevity.

A Convincing Test.

In the Far East the Japanese have
won victories which have astonished
the world. They show themselves to
be more enduring, more resistant to
the effects of wounds, keener witted,
sharper in tactics, and quicker in exc
cution than their Russian antagonists.
The Jap is content with a simple diet
of rice. peas, or beans, which is quick
ly digested and converted into Drawn
and brains, while the Russian must
have his meat and his vodka.
The same dietary, the same simplic-
ity and naturalness in habits of life,
which give toughness of fiber and en-
durance and immunity against infec-
tion. afford equal advantages in fight
ing the battle of life in any direction.
The brain worker who wants to keep
his mental vision clear and desires
power to pursue his subject with un-
ceasing energy, must keep his blood
clean by pure. simple, natural diet.
The lawyer the clergyman, the busi-
ness man. the teacher, the investiga-
tor, the inventor, will find the same
advantages in living in harmony with
natural principles as does the plucky
Japanese soldier, who is, for the first
time, testing his metal by great con-
test with an army of civilized men.

Effects Of Alcohol Upon Digestion.

Prof. Kochlakoff of st. Petersburg,
has experimental upon five healthy
persons, aged from twenty-one to twen-
ty-four years, with reference to the
effects of alcohol upon digestion. Ten
minutes before each meal, each person
was given about three ounces of alco-
holic liquor. containing from five to
fifty per cent of alcohol. which is
about the proportion found in ordinary
liquors. The following results were
obtained:
"Under the influence of alcohol the
quantity of hydrochloric acid, as well
as the digestive power of the gastric
Juice, is diminished. This enfeebling
of the digestion is especially marked
in persons unaccustomed to the use of
alcohol"
DIR. Figg OF Edinburgh made the fol-
lowing experiments to test the infiu-
ence of alcohol upon digestion: He
fed two dogs equal quantities Of roast
mutton. He then administered to one
dog, by passing a tube into the stom-
ach. one and one-fourth ounces of
alcohol. After five hours both dogs
were killed and examined. The one
which had taken no alcohol was found
to have digested the meat entirely,
whereas digestion had scarcely begun

OF all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, kidney dis
ease is the most fatal. In fact, unless
early and correct treatment is applied,
the weary patient seldom survives.

dncing her great remedy for woman's
ills Lydia Il. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound-wasc careful to see that it
contained the correct combination OF
herbs which was sure to control that
fatal disease. woman's kidney troubles.
The Vegetable Compound acts in har-
mony with the laws that govern the
entire female system, and while there
are many so called remedies for kidney
troubles, Lydia L. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound is the only one espe-
cially prepared for women, and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
arrangements by it. Derangements of
the feminine organs quickly affect the
kidneys, and when a woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, bacllache, bearing down pains,
