SCIENTIFIC TEMPERANCE DEPARTMENT
Conducted BY ROBERT B. PATTON
Conducted by ROBERT B. PATTON. D. D.

The development of the life insur-
ance business has led, both in this
country and Europe, to recognition
of the Importance of educating the
general public in the essentials to
health. In Germany, where working
mems insurance has been extensively
established, the result has been that
the imperial health bureau, allied gov
eminent institutions, and the insur-
ance societies themselves, simply as
matter of good business administra-
ton, have undertaken an immense
amount of education in hygiene. Sew
eral of the American life insurance So
cieties are doing similar work, issu-
ing health bulletins and papers to their
policy holders. With good health and
long life, profitable business is the
sequence from the company's stand
point The policy holder, his family
and the general public are the gamers
in the maintenance of good health
and the prolongation of life.
In all this educational work, alcohol
as a factor in causing disease, is be-
ing vigorously combatted. The ex-
perience of British companies which
for many years have kept abstainers
and non-abstainers in separate Sec
tions, has shown incontestably the
better health and longer life, on the
average, of the abstainer over the
even so-called moderate" drinker.
One of these societies lately paid
policy-holders in the abstaining sec
ton a bonus for five years on $4,000
which exceeded by from 500 to $225
the bonus paid non-abstainers for the
same time and amount.
DR.. Eugene L. Fisk, medical direct
or of the Postal Life Assurance So
cety of New York, in a recent article
stated that Gin recent years all life
insurance companies have discrimin
ated against the steady tippler and
the periodical free drinker We know
from the collective experience of 80
life insurance societies extending over
thirty years that accepted risks CIV
ing history of former intemperance
show a very high rate of mortality
about sc per cent above the normal
average although such risks are al
ways critically examined before &C
ceptance."
Not Purely Business Issue.
This is not purely business matter
but one that concerns public health
since it indicates the extent to which
growing drink habit jeopardizes that
health. The young man has to con-
slider that the drink habit may pre-
vent his getting life insurance protec-
ton at all Already in Great Britain
the drinkers insurance costs him more
than that of the abstainer, for the lat

system has by this time become so
saturated with toxic matter that
condition of intolerable nervousness
arises whenever the system is allowed
to get from under the now sedative
effects of alcohol, and no matter how
acute1y conscious the victim may
have become of his slavery to alcohol
or how heroically he may struggle to
throw off the yoke, he finds himself
unable to do so by his own efforts.
The prolonged free use of alcohol
brings on such disorders of the sys-
tenn as to lead the best of men, when
in it's grasp, to continue to seek relief
from these disorders by increasing
the quantity of alcohol consumed.
Whether that course is imperatively
necessary or not, it appears to them
as being the one readily available
remedy, the panacea for every i'll, and
it is so used.
A majority of habitual users of alco-
hol in this country belong to this
class, and many of them would glad
ly quit drinking if they could ever get
the poison out of their systems and
reach state in which they could live
in comfort without it, but they seem
never to be able to do so. They never
become entirely sober and their sys-
TENS are never normally free from the
products of tissue waste; on the con-
trary they are in an extremely toxic
condition and are comfortable only
when the paralyzing effects of alco-
hol blunts their sensibilities to the
irritating effects of this poison"
There is wide disagreement be-
tween the doctors and the saloonists
as to the physiological effects of al
cohol. The liquor vender will tell you
that alcohol warns the stomach, aids
digestion, coo1s the brain, warns the
body in cold weather and cools it in
warm weather, strengthens the mus
cles, relieves fatigue, protects against
diseases, is a splendid therapeutic
agent in wounds-ln fact, IN his
opinion, alcohol is universal cure-all
for all the ills that flesh is heir to.
On the other hand, the overwhelm-
ing majority of up-to-date physicians
declare alcohol is brain poison, a
nerve poison, a cell poison, muscle
poison, that it interferes with tissue
building, weakens the bodily defences
against disease, impairs functional
activities, induces growth Of degener-
ative connective tissue, produces fat
ty degeneration of heart muscles, irri-
tation, hyperaemia often attended with
hemorrhage, ETC., etc. The saloon

the death rate among drinkers is heav-
lest in the prime of life, the years
when they are most needed by their
families and the community. AS
mere matter of dollars and cents it is
a wasteful performance for the state
to expend several thousands of dol
lars in raising a man to maturity and
then have him cut off prematurely by
preventable disease. For this one
facts needs to be repeatedly empha-
sized, that alcoholism and all the
varied bodily weaknesses to which the
alcohol habit contributes are absolute
ly preventable. No man need have
any of that disease. He may contract
typhoid or smallpox unawares, but
he can absolutely avoid the dis
ease due to alcohol.
Physicians, state and local boards
of health, the legislature, are uniting
to check and remove all possible
causes of disease so that, as far as
the state can do so, the individual
may be protected. There are always
those who wilfully violate the laws of
health, but the state assumes that it
is its duty to make such violation as
difficult as possible. Hence there are
requirements for care of garbage, for
removal of other wastes, for ensuring
pure milk, water and ice supplies, for
proper ventilation of buildings, laws
forbidding the sale of impure foods
or requiring isolation in the case Of
infectious diseases, etc.
In the light of modern medical
science which declares that alcohol is
a prolific source, directly or Indirect
ly, of disease, the public is confronted
with question of public health in
deciding upon methods of dealing
with the alcohol question.
There is really even more need OF
protection againts alcoholic liquors
than against other sources Of disease.
Practically one of the latter are in
tentionally promoted by great bust
ness interests as is the use of alcohol.
The use of impure food, as expert
ence with smallpox or typhoid does
not make the victim eager to repeat the
Indulgence" But the alcohol which
causes disease tends to create crav-
ing of more of itself.
The Regular Drinker.
George E. Petty, M. D.
in the Journal of the American
Medical Association.
The prolonged and free use of al
cohol brings serious impairment of
the digestive organs, the appetite is
variable or absent altogether unless
freshly stimulated by an extra drink
and if at this or any subsequent
