CLEANING THE MEDICINE CLOSET

The medical temperance department
OF the National w. @. r. y. has been
no small factor In cleaning Uncle Sans
medicine closet. The superintendent
OF this department, Mrs. Martin NJ. Al.
len Of New York, thus describes the
process:
when we started In to clean the
medicine chest OF the great United
States, the chest was a dreadful sight
Whisky, port wine, sherry wine, beer 20
give strength, brandy and gin for GER
tain ailments all stood In proud array
ON prominent shelves.
ITO attempt to clean up such n medi-
cine chest was task sufficient to ap-
pail stout hearts. But a few brave
souls said the task should be done. and
gradually, surely, the cleaning has been
going on. Some OF the best physicians
OF the country aided In the task. Soon
the whisky bottle for the consumptlve
was thrown away, then the brandy for
the typhoid fever patient. Beer and
