Well Company of Memphis for deep
well in the public square. This con-
tract was sublet to J. L. Driver, who
after many delays found, at depth

supply of excellent water. The con-
trct calls for a minimum flow of fif-
ty gallons per minute, pumping forty
eight consecutive hours. The off
cial test will be made on the 18th In
stint and the town counsel has such
confidence in the result that at its

Alcohol is Not Medicine.

IS alcohol medicine? In this
question we have a more difficult
problem, for some have asserted that
1T is impossible to practice medicine
without 1t. while extremists on the
other side have said that it should
never be used. Let us look at the
matter in it's true light: Belladona.
nux vomica, quinine and cal0mel are
drugs which could not be dispensed
with. and it is possibly true that we
could not find substitute for alco-
hol, although at the present time
some drugs are being prepared with
out 1t. What is the position it should
occupy in medicine? Should it be
used for its stimulating effects, and
in large quantities? Has it any use
except as a stimulant? Close inves-
tigation and extensive experience
have demonstrated that, constantly
used for its stimulating effects. it is
positively Injurious; and why? Every
drug has primary and secondary
action, and the secondary is just the
opposite of the primary: hence, if we
use a substance which is very stimu-
Iating, it will be followed by a Sec
Ondary effect, which is one of depres-
sion. Alcohol has these effects. Is
there any field for alcohol except as
stimulant? This question we may
answer in the affirmative, and in do
ing SO we place alcohol in its proper
position It's use should be confined
to the preparation of drugs and the
preservation of perishable articles.
| 1t was used largely in pneumonia,
| typhoid fever and surgical shock. But
1 vryI1n nef ofcO -
! it simply whips the heart which is al
ready deteriorated by overwork. In
surgical shock it increases to greater
activity a heart which has already
| lost portion of it's nervous control.
Actual experiments and experiences
have demonstrated beyond a doubt
that its use in disease is productive
of more harm than good. In regard
| to its use in surgical shock, Professor
| H. G. Wood, of the University Of
Pennsylvania, said, in 1884: when
| was student in the hospital we
used to have cases of shock in album
dance, and we would pour alcohol
into the patients, and wonder why we
| got no more effect. 1t seemed like
pouring water into rat hole. Alco-
hol is Of no value whatever in shock;
nay, I am perfectly sure that it only
puts one more nail in the coffin of
the patient. If you want your pa
tient to come out of shock you will be
very careful in giving alcohol"
This war against alcohol has not
all been inaugurated in the twentieth
century, for it Started in the seven
teenth century, and at different pc
RODS since then scientific men have
| taken a stand against it. Early in
the eighteenth century DR.. Bedows
| pointed out the fact that it was in
| furious to health. Did space permit
we could add testimony upon testi-
mony to the same effect. We believe
we have shown that alcohol as food
is poor one, because of it's deleter-
| ious effects. We have shown that it
| is poison in every sense of the word,
and while it may have a use in medi-
cine, such use is limited and much
less than was formerly supposed.-E

AS a Business Proposition.

Peter H. Burnett, the first Gov
ernor of California, cultivated thirst
for strong drink when he was a young
man. He was good at mathematics,
and began to figure what his chances
were for dying a drunkard. He
found that out of 100 moderate
drinkers ten became sots within a
very short time. He could find no
way of telling which ten it would be,
and so concluded it would not be safe
for him to join the 100 moderate
drinkers. He said that no sensible
man would go into business where
the chances were ten per cent. against
success.
