LIQUOR BACKBONE
 OF THE SOCIAL EVIL.
Assertion of a Boston University Pro-
 lessor in an Address.

Boston, Feb. 15.-Registration of names of sufferers from venereal dis eases and the refusal of marriage li- censes to such persons until officially declared cured. was suggested as a step toward the solution of the social Prof. Dewitt G. Wilcox, M D., of Boston university, president of the American Institute of Homeopathy.
 What has been accomplished in commercial reforms through publicity can in the same measure be accom- plished through publicity on moral questions, particularly in this specific qeuStfon of the social eVil,' said Dr. Wilcox. "I am thoroughly convinced that the present day conditions de- mand that venereal diseases should be reported the same as other disease spreading affections When we as phy- sicians were first compelled to report tubercu1ar diseases many a physician felt 1t would be working a hardship upon the patient to so expose his mal- adv but now we see in the light of what has been accomplished how much wis CT it is that a few should suffer than The same would prove true of venereal diseases.
 Dr. Wilcox declared that if the drinking of alcoholic beverages were absolutely abolished the social evil would be ripped up the back and it's spinal cord severed"
 'I thoroughly believe" he said 'that if sensuality and alcoholism were to- day abolished from the face of the earth chronic invalidism. deformities, premature deaths. blindness. feeble and insanity would be as rare In the human race as it is now among lower animals"
