A PhysIcInn,a sNmnoslnin.

The New York County Medical So
ciety discussed the question OF alcohol
in an important symposium held re-
Gently at the New York Academy OF
Medicine.
Professor Chlttenden, of Yale Univer-
sity, took up the question of "Alcohol
in Health" and declared that alcohol
should not be used except under the
advice of physicians. DR.. Peabody, in
speaking of alcohol in Disease"
showed that for large number OF all
ments substitutes had been found less
injurious and more effective
Mr.. Atkinson, the chemist of the
New York Board of Health, pointed
out the dangers OF wood alcohol"
showing its poisonous effects on dogs.
This was apparent in the profound
coma which it produced. He concluded
that it was one of the most dangerous
of all the alcohols, and should be re-
stricted and guarded in its use. The
New York State Deputy Commissioner
of Excise, Mr.. Clement, of Albany.
spoke of the Legislative Aspects of
Alcohol" indorsed the Raines law and
argued from various statistics that it
had diminished crime and pauperism
throughout the State. Substitutes for
Alcohol was discussed by DR.. FltZ-
patrick. He claimed that pure water,
fresh air and improved hygienlc infu-
ences would diminish the demand for
spirits, and discussed at some length
the various drugs which were superior
to alcohol as tonics and stmulants.
Professor Lusk. of Bellevue College,
in the discussion which followed. spoke
of the chemistry of alcohol
DIR. L. ID. Crothers spoke of the in
difference of the profession toward the
subject of alcohol. and declared that it
was a medical topic, and yet less than
200 physicians in the country had
taken interest enough in the subject
to appear as teachers and students.
while on the other hand over milton
persons were Joined in associations
and efforts to remedy and prevent the
evils from alcohol. He declared that
unless the subject was taken up by
medical men and discussed as any
other problem in science would be. lit
tie advance could be made.
Hon. De Lancy Nicholl, former Dis
trict Attorney of New York. spoke of
the injurious effects of alcohol seen
from a legal standpoint and declared
that no good work could be expected
from persons who depended on this
drug. DR.. l.. ID. Mason, of Brooklyn,
n. Y, discussed the economic side,
showing the tremendous losses to So
ciety to individuals and others from
the use of this drug, and predicted
that the time would come when alcohol
would be regarded by the medical pro-
fession as one of the most serious
threatening evils of civilization. He
urged the profession to take up this
subject and teach the public the real
danger.
This symposium was remarkable as
showing the changed sentiment among
physicians concerning alcohol. Evil
IDENTIFY the subject is attracting atten-
tion in the profession to degyee of
greater prominence than ever before.
None Of the speakers, excepting Drs.
Crothers and Mason were known as
opponents of alcohol in their public
writings, and yet all recognized the
evils and n way more or less tlmid
pointed out the possible means of es-
cape.-The New Voice.

Be Good For Something.

The highest virtue consists of more
than merely being good. 1t is being
good for something; and good for some
thing not to ones self alone, but to
others and to God. That negative,
self-complacent virtue which is only
a strict abstention from evil, is of a
quality far inferior to the virtue which
supprcsses evil or helps another to re-
sist 1t. Virtue, in the old Latin sense,
Is synonymous with valor. 1t implies
not only an espousal but a champion-
snip, and. If necessary. a fight. Virtue
Is not only being good, but doing good.
ana the better we are the more we
ought to do. We believe in these
words of r. r. Bowker:
1T is bad for the ignorant and the
vicious to do Ill. 1t is worse for the
educated and honest to do nothing"

that clergy and laity shared an equal

Cleaning Windows.

Kerosene is a splendid aid in the
cleaning Of windows. Into basin put
two tablespoonfuls of kerosene and two
of water. Take soft cloth little
larger than the hand, dip it in the
basin, half wiring it and wash your
windows, both sash and glass. Then
rub dry with a soft newspaper and
polish with soft towel This process
will remove fly specks and dirt from
both glass and paint more quickly than
soap and water. and leaves the glass
with q better polish. The quantity
given is sufficient for washing two Or

He dimes on rich dishes and wears the best
clothes;
He cares not for money--he spends as he
goes;
He has sweet partner and little ones fair,
And home neat and tidy, but seldom
goes there;
He frequents the clubs and visits the play,
And he fiirts with each coquette who falls
in his way,
The while his true wife its at home in her
But then he's a big.hearted fellow, you
know.
How zwift flies the time when the cham
payne he quaffs
How he Jokes with the boys! How he
shouts How he laughsl
But when at his own hearth, how altered
II the children approach him he utters a
groan.
II his wife even hints, while he pores DER
the news
That the coal is all out, that the children
need shoes,
He raves like madman and swears till
But he's big-hearted fellow, of course.
At length, when his means are exhausted,
he tries
To borrow from others less free, but morc
wise
Than himself Then he finds that there
isn't friend,
OF all the gay throng, who has money to
lend.
So he lives on "free lunches" and "sponges"
his drinks,
Til, rum.slain he into pauper's grave
sinks,
And leaves to his sad wife the record he
bore
AS big-hearted fellow-just this, and no
more.
