ALCOHOL AND INSANITY.

"The seeming indifference of the public and the authorities appears in comprehensible when it is considered what havoc Is wrought by alcohol. We spend millions of dollars annually to stamp out and protect the public from infectious diseases, yet the harm done by alcohol is infinitely greater than that caused by all the infectious dis eases put together. In our annual ad- missions to Bellevue hospital of over 5000 patients Gin the wards for mental diseases) more than ten per cent were suffering from insanities due directly to alcohol, and in more than forty per cent alcohol had played most impor- tant part in the causation of the in- sanity. It seems to me that 1t would

 How does it work-this license sys- ,am raised to its highest power? The Now York mmercial-certainly not dry advocate-speaking of the in- 5orease of the license fee in the state of New York from $1,200 to $500 year, says:
 "It seems plausible to reduce the number of drinking places and raise their status by imposing heavy H. cense fees, but in practice it results In turning over the business to a few brewers who are able to finance the license fees and to drive independent dealers out of business. In some cities in Massachusetts brewers and whole sale dealers control practically all the saloons and hotels and form syndi- cates to handle the monopoly so given 10 them by the high license law. It would be easy to form a syndicate in New York city that would pay $1O.000 year for each license taken out The revenue might be increased by giving such a monopoly, but the liquor busi- ness would be run for all there was in it. and social conditions would not be improved. Massachusetts has given high license fair test and the results are not what it's original advocates promised"

 T am bound to believe, on the evi. dence, that if you take alcohol habit. ually in any quantity whatever, it is to some extent menace to you. If you do this, l am bound to believe in the light of what science has re- vealed:
 T. That you are tangibly threaten. ing the physical structures of your stomach, your liver and kidneys. your heart, your blood vessels, your nerves, and brain;
