Bob lngersoII on Alcohol.


Col, Ingersoll, in addressing a jury
trying a case involving the manu-.
facture of alcohol, described this
arch enemy of the human race thus
effectively;
II am aware that there is preju-
dice against any man engaged in the
manufacture Of alcohol, believe
that from the time it issues from the
coiled and poisonous worm in the
distillery until it empties into the
Hell of death, dishonor and crime,
it demoralizes everything that even
touches it from its source 70 its end
II do not believe that anyone can
contemplate the object without pre-.

TYPHOID fever has been banished
from the United Stares army. In
the entire enrolment of over 10000
men in barracks or camps in the
United States, Philippines, China,
Porto Rico, Cuba and Hawaii, there
were during 1913 only three cases Of
typhoid fever. Two Of these were
new recruits who developed the dis.
ease four and FIVE days after they
enlisted, Only a single case of ty.
phcid fever in an inoculated soldier
occurred during the whole year out
of the entire body of 10000 men,
This case occurred in a soldier in the
battalion on duty in China, All
three of these cases recovered, so
that not a single death in the army
during the year resulted from this
disease. When it is remembered
that typhoid has been for centuries
the most dangerous disease to the
soldiers, and that every army,
whether on garrison duty or in the
field, has expected to pay a heavy
toll Of sickness and death to this
disease, the record of our troops is
all the more remarkable, The dis.
appearance Of typhoid is due direct
ly to typhoid vaccination, which
has been practieel in the army since
1909.
