gallons, enough if rightly arranged to
drown him. Alcohol possesses q
strong affinity for water; when taken
into the body it robs the tissues Of
their most vital element, water. Any
thing that Injuries the cellular struc-
lures Of the body through chemical
reaction is poison. BY experimental
study, alcohol has been found to do
this. It is one of the most useful and
at the same time one of the most
dangerous drugs in the pharmacopeia.

| cal profession now as it used to pc
The marked reduction in the use o.
alcohol in hospitals during the las,
fifty years is prima facie evidence
against its banfeul effects.
The most useful weapon that we
possess against the use of alcohol as
beverage is public education. Here
the church can play very important
role. Its position against strong drink
! should be positive. The taking Of lit
tie wine for thy stomacb's sake is not
to be encouraged
| The w. c. T. U. ought to be en-
dorsed and encouraged for it's stand
against alcohol, and in it's splendid eff
! fort to put down the greatest foe to
the civilization Of the world.
| Woman is said to be the oldest doc
tor and alcohol the oldest patent med
icine. When Eve ate the apple she
was experimenting in therapeutics.
This may account for the antipathy
existing between woman and alcohol.
While man is expanding his
strength and wisdom in leveling the
forest and planting civilization there
in, woman is endeavoring to protect
that civilization by keeping out alco-
hol.
Alcohol affects the muscle, blood,
nervous system and in fact every It's
sue of the body. Briefly we wish to
show how alcohol affects the heart.
The normal heart beats about sew
enty-two times to the minute, or 1920
times in one hour, or 103, $50 times in
twenty four hours. If two ounces of
alcohol are taken, the heart will be
forced to beat 5000 extra times in
twenty-four hours, making a total of
los, $50. This extra work placed upon
the heart is equivalent to lifting seven
tons one foot high.
Long-continued use of alcohol caus-
es a degeneration Of the muscular |
fibres of the heart. These fibre cells
in their normal healthy state enable !
the heart to pump the blood with suf
fcient force to equally distribute it to |
all parts of the body. Alcohol tends |
to disorganize these cells into I'M
healthy fat cells. Hence the fatty |
heart of drinkers. Any agency that
affects the integrity Of the cells af-
fects the well being Of the organ.
Alcohol is poison, so is strych-
nine. It should be administered only
upon the advice of physician and not
by bootlegger.

To show that alcohol is poison
and exerts an injurious effect upon

Alcohol belongs to the class of

in this class we find chloroform and
