EVIL EFFECTS OF DRINKING
For the Want Of Little Self-Sacrifiee
the Moderate Drinker Imposes
Tax on His Fellow Men.

A recent address given by Sir VIC
tor Horsely the eminent English ply
sician, contains some remarks on the
subject of alcoholic drinking which are
worthy of general consideration: Ihe
moral conduct of future citizens ne
states, begins in the home. II we
consider the things that are done 10
degrade human life We are brought
back to the question OF alcohol.
"Self.sacrfice in regard to the so
called luxuries of life begins. as
rule, with a man giving up alcohol. so
far as am concerned It seems an
Incredibly small sacrifice to make, but
II is not so to many people The IN
dividual who considers honestly what
is his duty toward his fellow country
men must consider this matter from
two totally different points OF view.
He must consider the duty to make
himself as fit as possible for his work
in the country. He must consider the
children. The very question of sick
insurance now being dealt with by
the government, however remote IL
may seem to you, is governed by the
question of self-sacrifice, for 1t has
clearly been shown that the proper
ton OF sickness among so-called mod
crate drinkers is greater than among
abstainers. For the want OF a little
selfsacrifce the moderate drinker i'm
poses taxes on his fellow men. Only
few days ago an OLD, much-ioVeu
teacher of my own, Sir A. Pearct
Gould, showed that cancer was DIS
ease which attacked those who toot
alcohol twice as frequently as those
who do not. Every day we have evi
dence of this sort brought before us
showing that total abstinence STANDS
first as a salient element in the max
ing of the nation"
