ALCOHOL IN SICKNESS.

'At one of the London public hos.
pitfalls 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 be
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 7.3 per
cent. For the same year the average
death 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 neces-
sity. Although most physicians pre-
scribe alcohol in solution with drugs
for their patients-there was one ply
stefan Of national reputation who did
not believe in using alcohol. Many
years ago when DIR. r. V. Pierce de-
cided TO put up his valuable ~Prescrip-
tom for the diseases of women in q
wready to use" form he used as q
solvent and preservative chemically
pure glycerine OF proper strength,
which is better solvent and preserva-
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.
No woman who is suffering from
inflammation, from the pains and
drains incident to womanhood can
afford to be without DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. An honest medi-
sine which has the largest number OF
