TEMPERANCE
ALCOHOL IN THE TREATMENT OF
TUBERCULOSIS OF THE LUNGS
MRS. Martha NJ. Allen)
DEPARTMENT.

For some time different whiskey
manufacturers have been advertising
their product as a consumption
"cure," with testimonials from CRATE
ful people who had been given up by
the doctors, but completely restored
to health by whiskey drinking. 1t is
uncomfortable how intelligent men and
women can be deceived by such evil
dent falsehoods, but the fact remains
that good many are. There is no
physician, however welded to alcohol,
who is so rash in these days as to
attribute to whiskey curative power
in pulmonary tuberculosis without at
tention to manner of living and diet.
Yet this is precisely what the whis-
key advertisements claim, that whis-
key will cure irrespective of anything
else.
The claim that whiskey may be a
useful adjunct in the treatment of
consumption is still held by some ply
sicians of good standing and expert
ence, but only two of large number
Of physicians of whom l recently in
CURED regarding this subject have re-
piled in favor of the alcoholic treat
ment of consumption. My inquiry
was prompted by the fact that DR..
Harvey W. Wiley. chief of the bureau
of chemistry, some months ago read a
paper before the Association for the
Advancement of Science up on the
topic, diet in tuberculosis" in which
he advocated whiskey as nourish.

some medical journals, and has been

A soLILoouY

All, we'll, the Blount-Bryan contest
is over for a while, and in keeping
with a sylogistic truth, Mr.. Blount
made clean, manly fight, but lost.
But how was it with the Bryan crowd?
Notwithstanding Mr. Blount had eau
toned his friends to look out for
eleventh hour charges, Collins, Bryan
& Co., managed to food the state with
a circular letter in which Mr.. Blount
was made to pose as whiskey man,
which had the desired effect, and re-
suited in his defeat. Taking my own
precinct for basis, / am safe in say
ing that this circular diverted rs per
cent of the Blount vote to Bryan.
Now, are. such dirty, treacherous
methods to secure an election, to be
winked at? Are they even to be toll
Grated by the voters of this great state
of Florida?
Is man who, by such means, Sc
cures his election, worthy to repre-
sent the commonwealth of Florida in
the United States senate?
The old aphorism that anything is
fair in politics is stupendous false
hood. No man can be corrupt in poll
tics and pure in business. II he is
tricky in one, he will be treacherous
in the other.
There can be no doubt among the
class of intelligent and unbiased vot-
ers but that Mr.. Blount was, and IS,
the choice of the undeceiyed and un-
terrified electorate of the state, and
should be its next senator A title TO
property obtained by frauds, decep-
tions or other surreptitious methods,

law and equity. The liberties and
franchise of the people are of infinite
~ more value.-Junius, in Braden-

PEcANs AS LARGE AS WALNuTS
POSSIBLE

While the information is a little
vague, the Times is glad to learn
from a middle Florida paper that Mr..
Tison, living near Waldo, is gathering
pecans as large as walnuts. 1t is
really very wonderful how much i'm
'provement has been made in this ex-
cellent nut since it first began, less
than half century ago, to receive
the attention naturally following its
domestication and cultivation. 1t has
been quadrupled in size, made twice as
prolific, vastly improved in flavor, in
vested with a thin and easily pene-
trated shell, and otherwise made
MANIFOLD more valuable than in its
wild state Instead Of being an arti-
Gle of hog meat, falling sparsely in
the woods, it now occupies a high
place on the bill of fare of the rich
and great.
This has been brought about by cul-
ture and selection, the budding of the
best natural varieties, such culture as
promotes growth of the tree and fe-
cundity of the bloom Whenever a
single tree shows in its product evil
dences of superiority it is multiplied
indefinitely by being grated on less
valuable kinds, and the result is a
larger and more uniform stock There
is little doubt, when the matter is
carefully considered, that the well
known and popular English walnut,
probably the most valuable nut known
to commerce, is the product of a sim.
liar evolution to that which the pecan
is now undergoing. 1t is also more
than probable that in century or so
of continued Improvement the walnut
will be outstripped in value and pro-
duction by its recently discovered ri
val. People WHO are planting pecans
and their successors and assigns
should keep these facts in mind and
govern themselves accordingly. The
life of a pecan grove is indefinite,
doubtless reaching a hundred years
and more under favorable circum-
stances. When it fully approaches
the English walnut in some of its ex-
terror qualities, as it is gradually do
ing, its superior richness and flavor
will leave it without a rival Tampa

ley's theory of the nutritive value of
alcohol in consumption does not work
out well in practice.
Opinions of Experts
There is another point in regard to
alcohol and tuberculosis wish to en-
phasize, and that is the idea that al
cohol is a remedy or even a specific
remedy for consumption. There has
never been a greater mistake made.
Alcohol has never cured, and never
will cure, tuberculosis. 1t will either
prevent or retard recovery. 1t is like
a two-edged weapon!; on one side it
poisons the system, and on the other
side it ruins the stomach and thus pre-
vents this organ from properly digest
ing the necessary food. Truly pathet-
ic are the results of this erroneous
doctrine in the families of the poor,
where, instead of procuring good
nourishment for the invalid, liquor
has been bought in far too large guam.
