DR. T. D. Crothers. superintendent of
the Walnut Lodge hospital. Hartford.
Conn, and editor Of the Quarterly
Journal of Inebriety, in an address at
TORONTO. Aug 21. before the British
Medical association. made a powerful
appeal to the medical men to join in
great movement II teach the public
the scientific facts regarding alcohol.
In this address he said:
Exact studies show that fully 1OO.-
900 persons die annually from alcohol
aud dI'lgs. and up to this time the
principal remedies offered are the
onment. Of which the latter actually in
creases and intensifies the condition.
THE insanity Of inebriety is med
ical subject. There is now the army Of
the insane, developed by our civilian
ton. and this is now the field of prac-
tice for medical men in every commu.
nifty of the country.
ut is our duty to lift It out Of the
realm of credulity and quackery and
bring it into the field Of exact science.
"A scientific study of inebriety indi-
Gates definite disease, with distinct
causes, progress and termination, the
same as other diseases.
1.-TWO marked symptoms of insanity
are prominent-one in the periodic
drinker. who drinks to excess for a
short period. then abstains. This drink
period is practically an acute mania,
insane impulse. which resists all efforts
Of control.
ut is often preceded by insomnia.
headaches and great irritability. Such
persons drink both secretly and openly
and act like insane persons. 1t resem-
bles epilepsy in it's sudden convulsive
onset and Inability to break up or con-
troll except by the harshest measures.
"Often the drink paroxysm brings out
4 different personality. The patient
while drinking is an entirely different
character in reason and conduct.
Another form of insanity is seen in
the constant drinker, who daily drinks
In so called moderation and because he
Is not incapactated or seems not to be
changed in feeling or degree Of COM
fort believes that he is benefited.
persons who drink regularly, even
In so called small quantities, are the
most degenerate and defective Of all

lUNACY AND ALCOHOL.

Insanity 1ncreasing Among British
Beer Drinkers.
A movement Is on foot In England
to induce the government to appoint a
commission Of inquiry into the subject
Of lunacy, with especial reference to
the part played therein by the wide
spread use Of alcoholic liquors. The
movement is being pushed by tenn
perance and reform organizations. and
It is quite likely that the scheme will
be successful.

commissioners Of lunacy for England
and Wales. published last year. at
fords an excellent basis for such a re-
quest upon the government. Comment
Ing on the increase In lunacy among
the beer drinking peoples, the commits

comment:
1T should DO borne in mind that such
intemperance IL frequently - much an

and the intermingling Of these renders
Il impossible to arrive at precise con-

peatedly every day, produce after a time
alcoholic poisoning with equal certainty.
The habit of drinking leads to the ruin

Il leads also to the hospital. for alcohol

Why Malt LiNuors Are More Harnn-
full Than whisky.
Is beer an alcoholic drink?
Yes: 1t contains from to 10 per
cent Of alcohol and Is the most danger
ous mocker of the alcohol family, for
the reason that It Is mild and cheap
and stupefying rather than raging.
As between a single drink Of beer or
whisky. the beer would be less harm
ful, because the large per cent Of wa
ter In 1t renders it less irritating. and
the water. Of course. Is put to good use
BY the body.
But the drink Of beer Is perhaps ten
times as big as the drink Of whisky
and contains by volume AZ much or
nearly as much alcohol.
And people having little fear Of al
cohol drink it freely. Ignorant people
even think it has an Important value
- a food and that the more they drink
the better.
The beer habit grows as readily and
- rapidly as the alcohol habit in other
forms and, even more steadily than the
others, undermines the vital powers.
DR.. Delbrueck, the great German
Psychologist. says, 1T is certainly of
greater importance to work with all
the forces at our command against the
beer danger that II growing like an
avalanche than to fight whisky, whose

An affection which IL variously
known as hoove blown, dew blown.
fog sickness, grass sickness, ETC., is IA
miliar to the farmers on grass farms.
The principal cause Of hoven is fer
mentation of the food and the conse-
Quent generation Of gas in the rumen
or paunch. The food most prone to
undergo this fermentation Is rich, sue
culent grass or that bedewed with
moisture. All animals eat more or less
Ereedily on being first turned into the

dcularly young clover, they rapidly
and with scarcely any mastication
gorge themselves. The passage Of air
into the stomach with the rapid and
large gulps materially assists In the
process of fermentation and adds to
the accumulation Of gas. This unnat-
urally overloaded condition Of the
stomach soon induces suspension Of the
paristaltic action Of the organ and. the
digestive process being checked, active
fermentation soon follows.
Decomposed or frosted vegetables,
particularly mangolds, win also give
rise to hoven.
The symptoms are most distressing.
