Philadelphia, Pa.-The recent con

est In the question of the actual value
of alcohol as a stimueant or food and
the dangers that lie in it as a poison.
Taking up the question from its
many viewpoints under the caption
Public Health. a Question of Alco-

MacNicholl of New York, vice presi-
dent of the society, in an article pub

than have been. claimed in all the
wars and all the epidemics of acute
diseases that have swept the coun-

After saying that modern seien.

MacNicholl continues:
"Degeneracy is shown in the in

leading insurance companies and pre-
sented to Sir T. p. Whitaker in a re.
port to the British Parliament show
