NO LONGER NEEDED.
The Oisuse Of Alcohol in the Treat.
ment of Diseases.


Presiding at the thirty-ifth annual
meeting OF the London Temperance
hospital held recently in Great Britain.
Lord Alyerstone. the lord chief jus
tice, commented on the notable prog
ress the institution has made in the
treatment Of diseases without the ordi-
nary use OF alcohol. and expressed
satisfaction in the fact that alcohol
was being more and more dispensed
with as a medical agent in the general
practice OF physicians.
The yearly records OF the Temper
ance hospital. Lord Alverstone stated.
continued to present ~undoubtable evil
dence in favor of the disuse OF alco-
mol as a drug. The scope of the hos
pital was yearly charging and the
progress made during the past year
had been especially noteworthy. A
splendid hall for out-patients had been
opened by the duchess Of Argyle. who
had since become patroness of the in
stitution; the buildings had been rem
ovated and furnished with every
IAbAtlh AAllAoNr AltAA- Win TIE III
creased accommodation a larger staff
became necessary and an especially
able STAFF Of physicians was now in
charge. The striking statement in the
report which showed that during "a
years the in-patients had numbered
- .226. and il had only been considered
needful to make trial Of alcohol in so
cases would not be without due weight
in medical circles. From this il was
clear that whatever theoretical value
some might attach to alcohol as a
drug. il could be almost entirely and
safely dispensed with. while the pa
tents themselves enjoyed immunity
from those moral hazards to which
many OF them would be exposed BY
imbibing alcohol in quantities however
small.
At the conclusion OF the meeting a
resolution Of c-ongratulaticn upon the
excellent work accomplished at the
hospital was recorded. The resoIu-
ton also stated that the meeting re-
ioiced in the knowledge that a large
reduction in the use Of alcohol was
commencing itself TO the Judgment
and entering into the practice of the
medical profession.

ITCHING HUMoR ON BOY
His Hands Were a Solid Mass, and
Disease Spread All Over Body
Cured in 4 Days BY c~utieurs.

One day We noticed that our little
boy was all broken out with itching
sores. We first noticed it on his little
hands. His hands were not as bad
then. and We didn't think anything
serious would result But the next day
we heard Of the Cuticura Remedies
being so good for itching sores. By
this time the disease had spread all
over his body. and his hands were
nothing but a solid mass of this itch
ing disease. / purchased a box OF Cuti-
cura Soap and one box OF Cuticura
Ointment. and that night / took the
Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water
and washed him well. Then | dried
him and took the Cuticura Ointment
and anointed him with it. did this
every evening and in four nights he
was entirely cured. Mrs. Frank Dom

DROPPED COFFEE
Doctor Gains 20 Pounds on Postum,

A physician Of Wash, D. c., says Of
his coffee experience:
For years | suffered with periodical
headaches which grew more frequent
until they became almost constant. So
severe were they that sometimes was
almost frantic. l was sallow. consti-
pated, irritable, sleepless; my mem
ory was poor, l trembled and my
thoughts were often confused.
My wife, in her wisdom, believed
coffee vas responsible for these ills
and urged me to drop it. l tried many
times TO do so. but was its slave.
Finally Wife bought a package of
Postum. and persuaded me TO try IL, but
she made it same as ordinary coffee
and ! was disguised with the taste.
Il make this emphatic because / fear
many others have had the same expe-
rience.) She was distressed at her
failure and We carefully read the d.
rections, made IL right, boiled 1t full
10 minutes after boiling commenced.
and with good cream and sugar,
liked tit invigorated and seemed to
nourish me.
This was about a year ago. Now
have no headaches, am not sallow.
s~leeplessness and irritability are gone
my brain clear and my head steady.
l have gained 20 lbs. and feel | am a
new man.
Il do not hesitate to give Postum
due credit OF course dropping coffee
was the main thing, but l had dropped
II before. using chocolate, cocoa and
other things to no purpose.
Postum not only seemed to act as
an ~inyigorant, but as an article OF
nourishment, giving me the needed
phosphates and albumens. This is nc
imaginary tale. It can be substanti
ated by my wife and her sister. whc
both changed to Postum and are
hearty women Of about 20.
Il write this for the information auf
encouragement OF others, and with I
feeling of gratitude to the inventor Of
Postum"
