ALCOHOL IN SICKNESS.

At one OF the London public hos
pltals special point is made of giving
alcohol to the patients as rarely and
sparely as possible; and each time
that one of the physicians does so he
submits a special entry of the reasons
that actuated him. In the thirty-two
years of the existence of the hospital
alcohol has only been given seventy
one times. The cases received are
exactly like those received by all the
other hospitals. For 1904 they num-
bered 1887 in patients only. The
death-rate among these was 7.S per
cent. For the same year the average
death j. rate among the other London
public hospitals was 81 per cent.
Therefore the use of alcohol in sick
ness is not to be regarded as a neces-
sity: Although most physicians pre-
scribe alcohol in solution with drugs
Tor their patieuts-thcre was one ply
sieian of national reputation who did
not believe in using alcohol. Many
years ago when DR.. X. V. Pierce de-
cided TO put up his valuable vPrescrip-
ton" for the diseases OF women In a
"ready TO use" form - he used as a
solvent and preservative chemically
which is better solvent and preseTva-
tive of the active medicinal principles
residing in most of our indigenous or
native plants than is alcohol. DIR.
Pierce found that the glycerine, be-
sides being entirely harmless, possesses
intrinsic medicinal properties, of great
value.

Inflammation, from the pains and
drains incident TO womanhood can
