THE INSULT TO PHYSICIANS.
(SprIngfield Republican,

There is something very touching in the argu-
ment urged n the senate by Messrs Wadsworth,
Lodge and others against the supplementary pro-
hibtion enforcement bill. They say that the pro-
vision which limits the of spirituous liq-
uor doctor can prescribe for a patient to half a
pint In 10 days, is insult TO the medical pro-
fessiOn OF the United States.
There are worse insults than that TO honOred
professions in the laws of the country Clergymen
are not left free 10 marry a to more than
wife. 1t is not left the clergyman's discre-
ton whether the system Of poygamy and the sys-
tenn OF pOyandry shall Irevail in America IL the
ministerial profession stand such insult"
implied in the proposed legal provision that half
pint OF spirits for patient will suffice for 10 days.
A man cannot have more than wife; that Is
the law. A woman under the law cannot have moro
than husbend; and most find that one
is great plenty. One half-pnt OF whisky for each
10 days OF illness ceases to be an insult any
body when we recall how the personal liberty OF
civilized men and women is limited in all direc-
tions. OF course, the real insult they Tuning
