When he arrived at the clinic of DR.. Lucen acquet,
accompanied by full suite of officials, La Croix Bleue
relates, the physician had before him alcoholic sub
ject, with dull, emaciated face.
This is of alcohol cirrhosis," said the
surgeon, and if you will permit me, Mr. President,
will show you some figures of other alcoholic

OF May, 1872 to the first of February 1913, have
questioned 3o8 patients concerning their consumption
of wine and of spirits and to the number of their
children living and dead. Here the sorrowful re-
suits of our inquiry One hundred and eleven pa
ents who had consumed alcohol moderately have lost
sixy-six children, 1841 per cent, of all born to
them. Eighty patients who drank heavily have lost
seventy-three children, 2o.33 per cent. One hum

have lost 22o children or 81 ~ per cent"

The number engaged in the various trades increased
the average IS per cent from 1890 to 1900 There
were forty-one medical and dental associations They
had eighty-four hospitals and schools for nurses,
owned sixty-two banks with annual deposits amount

sixty-six periodicals, thirty thousand public
school teachers and many engaged ministers of the
gospel, professors in colleges and the like
There is here for national felicitation Negro
progress is American progress. 1t is not to the in
