Tacojia, Wasb. (Special-).?Cape Nome
news to December 15 was resolved here by
the steamer Humboldt. It was brought by
Carl Voa Kobelsdorff and Charles D.
Campbell, who left Nome on December 10,
making a trip of 1300 miles toDawsouiu
fifty-seven days, including rest-> of six
days. They reached Dawson February 5.?
Immediately upon their arrival the Dawsou
papers issued extras containing full
details of Nome happeniugs, and these
papers, with letters direct from Nome,
were rushed through by dog teams traveling
In relays day aud night from Dawson
under (iovernmeut mail contract.
The nows from Cape Nome is that further
winter discoveries prove that that district
Is undoubtedly the richest gold belt ever
discovered. In several districts the men
are at work this winter piling up
rfumrts of gold-bearing saud and gravel

The greatest activity prevails in the bonanza
district adjacent to Nome City. Beyond
Cape York the Arctic distrlot has
jjeen laid out. Rich pay has been found
there, and it is certaiu that hundreds of
prospectors will go there from Nome early
next" oummer. The beach i3 supposed to
be rich as far north as Port Clarence. Thore
are places, however, where it will pay only
for bydrauljc operations. ,
Provisions are plentiful at Cape Nome,
and there will be 110 suffering there for
food supplies. Wood and coal are very
eoarce. All available wood has been used
for ten miles on either side of Nome City.
Wood brings 350 to $60 a cord, and It Is a
verv poor article at that. The coal supply
Is very meagre and coal is sold by the
pound, bringing seven and as high as eight
cents a pound.
Men having small excess stocks of flour,
beans and bacon liavtr been able to trade
thom for interests in some of ths richest
f claims on Auvil and other creeks. In this
respect the scones witnessed in Dawson
during the winter of 1897, have been oft
repeated. Saloons and sporting houses
are making fortunes, it a letter to the
Tkniuann T)nllv News. Muior J. P. Strong,
editor of the Nome Sews, says:
"Some of the winter finds have been phenomenal.
Nuggets worth as high as $36
have been found while those worth from
$1 to $5 each are very common. Authentic
oases are reported where two men late last
fall rocked out $600 in a single day of ten
hours. Including the early winter work
the coast has been prospected for a distance
of forty miles west of Nome, and for
nearly a similar distance in an easterly
direction. The great bulk of beaoh gold
has been found between Nome River on the
east and Penny River on the west, a dlsl
tance of about' fifteen miles. The evidence
of the way the sands were upturned are
now visible only in places, the high tides
of early December having obliterated most
traces of the work.
! "Prospecting will be carried on all winter.
Mauy miners believe that the richest
sands will be found below the low water
mark. As soon as the Ice is frozen solidly
to the bottom of the shore they will cut
out chunks of ice and prospect there. This
work will solve the much vexed question
as to the origin of gold In the beach sand,
determining whether it was washed from
unknown sources in the bosom ol the
deep. The ground is found frozen fo an
unknown'depth as in the Klondike, and if
it should prove _ as rich us expected, an
area of the country will be developed that
; will be greater than a score o? Klondikes
rolled into one."

JloaJay by the miuority stockholders
of the Frick Oompaav to aacul tlio con
tract with tlie Carnegie St?9! Company by
which thelatte;- is q:ettini? -J,500.000 tons of
coke u year at Sl.Sj" per ton, when the
market price of the fuel Is about $3 a ton.
T ie plaintiffs named in the bill are: John

Wilson (miuor): 8. L. Sehoonmaker aud
Joliu G. Pontefraet, The defendants are:
The H. C. Friclc Coke Company, a corporation;

Laudor, A. M. Clemson, Andrew M. Moreland,
James Gayley and Thomas Mortlson,
composing tho board <?f directors for that
corporatioo, and the Carnegie Steel Company,
Limited. *
This action is remately connected with
the trouble between fl. C. Friclc, former
Chairman of tue Carnegie Steel Company,
Limited, and Andrew Carnegie, aud was
precipitated by the tiling of Mr. Frick's bill
lu equity to secure an accounting of the
alTairs of the Carnegie Steel Company.
In this case the plalntlfts seek to enjoin
the defeudauts from selling any coke to the
Carnegie Steel Company, Limited, under a
coutnu't dated January 1, 1899, at a price
of 81.33 a ton. the contract to run for a

Carneirie, to eleot their nominees asdlrectors
of the ooke company aad dominate
and control their action. ^
Early in 1899, It is stated, the steel company
and Caruegle set up the pretense
that the ooke oomp'any had contracted a
year before to sell to It coka at $1.85 a
ton. The coke company's board of directors
promptly passed resolutions denying
tbe existence of any such agreement.
Then, It is charged, changes were made ia
tho directorate in Carnegie'* luterest, and
later, in January, 1899, tbe directors voted
to the steel compuny the prpsent contract.
This nnntrant It la claimed br the ftlala

THE FAME IN INDIA.1

?Viceroy Advocates the Use of Anti.
Plague Inoculation.
Bomba? (By Cablft)-?The plague io j
India continues virulent. With over Gl,< |
000,000 of people affected by'the famine j
and about 4,000,000 lu receipt of relief j
India seetns in bad plight, though the
death rat? over the 550,000 square miles o;
the famine area is decreasing. The Indian
Government has issued a resolution approving
Professor Haffktn's antl-plagu<
inoculation, and the Viceroy, Lord Curzoa
is advocating its use thrdb'ghout India.
Detailed reports from the various prov
inces affected all agree in saying that aevei
before in the history of the country has sc
dire a calamity of such stupendous magnl*
tude ovectufcen'it. Not only has the prolonged
drought been a record one in everj
way, but the people themselves are far les?
prepared to face a period of distress and
scarcity than is usually the case, i ,
The present famine comes on the top of s
series of bad-years and poor and indifferent
"harvests. Only three years ago tlx*
country wttii afflicted by a severe famine,
from which It has not yet had time to re?
cover. The people are cqnitfquently impoverished
to a degree and la no way prepared
to face the present disaster which
uas overeaten iuuiu.
There areclose on four millions of people
on famine relief. The number is grow- I
in# at the rate of something like a quartet
of a million weekly. And the worst pinct
of the famine has not yet been felt. That
will come later, in the spring and earl;
summer. It is difficult to realize the extent
of the famine relief operations whiob
will be necessary in two or three months'
time. They will tax the resources of Government,
both in men and money, to an
extent never before heard of, or even oon?
' templated.
Already all available officials are working
practically continuously on famine relief lithe
affected areas. But thesis areas are sc
Immense, the distances so great, and th<
pressure of work so enormous that already
it Is apparent that there are not half enougfc
workers lu the field. A single official maj
have an area of 10,000 square miles, with a
population of 1,000,000 in hU immediate
charge. Under these circumstances much
of the minor detail has to be left in th<
hands of native subordinates, But, unfor;
tuuately, these subordinates, true to the
immemorial customs of the Orient, are tc

extraordinary degree.
The war in South A-frica affects the famine
' Nc charitable relief caa be tfrpected from
England, the various war furnls draining
all superfluous money Into their coffers ,
In the famine of three yeats ago not less
than $2,500,000 was subscribed in England
for charitable relief in India. Now, witfc
un infinitely worse famine, it is imposslbif
to expect from the mother country sc
mucii as a single dollar.
The scarcity, on the top of a series o:
bad years, has affected the people to au^x
traordiuary degree. They are resigned,
phlegmatic, helpless and hopeless. Lord
Sandhurst, the Governor of Bombay, reports
that the famine has affected seriously
a higher stratum of society than hai
aver beeu the case before. The sam?
mi^ht be said with equal truth of otliei
i parts of India.
From all parts come reports of crop3
either wholly spoiled or simply non-exlst- i
unt. The cotton crop in some of the most
renowned cotton districts is said to be not
one-twentieth of the normnfl yield. In
many districts it is not worth gathering
in. The yield of ail India Is less by some
700,000 bales than was the ca^e last year,
The ground nut crop is but an eighth ol
last year's crop. The*wheox crop will b
wretched. In many districts it was impos
slble to carry out sowings, owing to th<
Intense dryness of the soil. In others the
seeds either never germinated or the young
plants withered and dried.
Cattle are now dying by tens of thousands.
In many places peasants are with
difficulty keeping their beasts alive by
means of driedieaves, the thatch of houses
weeds, and similar rubbish. It being
against the religious principles of the
Hindus to kill their cattle, even when j
they are dying in intense agony of thirst I
and hanger, the poor beasts are turned j
Innan In tlimiaAnrin <n tlio to die mis I
erably, their wretched skeletons beinj*
speedily picked oleau by jackals and vul>
- tares. \
Meanwhile crime, the Invariable accompaniment
of famine, stalk* abroad. The
police are unable to oope with it, uad from
. many quarters oome reports of assaults,
^fghwajrjjoblierlea, and ?ven murders, car
ned out'publloly and In the lifcht of day
The money lenders especially appear to he

one distrlot alone a dozen such have beec
robbed and beaten within the space of t
single month. All books, deeds, and the |
like are invariably burned on these occa 1
slons, and the loss to the bankers, all na
tires, is of ooilrse Immense.Lord

Denounced as Nocrommicy ami
Delusion?It* Disciples Are Doomed?
It Causes Insanity Anions Its Victims.
(Copyrialic i:?uo.I
Washington, I). C.?Iii this discourse
Dr. Talmage discusses a theme never more
under exploration than at this time and
warns peopie against "what be calls a relipriou
of Klicsts; text, I Samuel xxvili., 7:
"Behold, there is a woman that hRtli a
familiar spirit at En-dor. And Saul disguised
himself and put ou other raiment,
and ho went, and two men with him, and.
they caine to the woman by night."
Trouble to the right of him and trouble
to the left of him, Saul knew not wbut to
do. As a last resort lie concluded to seek
out a spiritual medium or a witch or anything
that you please lo call her?a woman
who had communication with the spirits
of the eternal world. It was a very difficult
thing to do, for Saul had either 9lain
all the witches or compelled them to stop
business. A servant one day said to King
Saul, "I know of a spiritual medium down
at the village of En-dor." "Do you," said
the king. Night falls. Saul, putting off
bis kingly robes and putting on the drdss
of aplain citizen, with two servants, goes
ont to hunt up this medium.
Saul aud bis servants after awhile
reached the village, and they say, "[
wonder if this is the house " and they look '
Id, and they see the haggard; weird and ;
shriveled up .spiritual medium sitting by
the light and on the table sculptured '
images and divining rods uud poisonous
hogfpand bottles and vases. They say. 1
"Yea, this must be the place." One Iou J
rap brings tile woman to the door, and as :
she stands there, holding the candle or
lamp above tier bead and peering oat Into '
the darkness, she says, "Who is here?" !
The tall king informs ber that be has ccmo
to have his fortune told. When she hears j
that, she trembles and almost drops the
light, fQrslie knows there is no chance for
a fortune teller or spiritual medium in all
the land! But Saul having sworn that no
barm shall come'to her, she says, "Well,
who shall I bring up from the dead?" Saul
says, "Bring up Samuel." That was the {
prophet who had died a little while before. '
I see her whving a wand, or stirring up
some poisonous barbs in a caldron, or
hear her muttering over some incanta- ;
tions, ^or stamping with her loot as she
cries out to the realm of the dead:
"Samuel, Samuel!" Lo, the freezing horror!
The floor of the tenement opens, and J
the gray hairs float up and the forehead, j
the eyes, the lips, the shoulders, the arms,
the feet?the entire body of the dead
Samnel?Wrapped in sepulchral robe, appearing
to the astonished group, who
stagger back and hold fast and catch
their hreath and shiver with terror. ;
Tlie aeaa propuet, wmte ana awrui rrom ,
the tomb, begins to move bis usUen Hps, .
and be glures upon King Saul and cries
out: "What did you bring me up for?
What do you mean, King Saul?" Saul, ;
trying to compose and control himself,
makes this stammering aud uffrlgbtod ]
utterance as be says to the dead prophet:
'The tor3 Is against me, and I have come ,
to you for belp. What shall I do?" Tho
dead prophet stretched forth his finger to 1
King Saul :iud said: "Die to-morrow! !
Come with me into the sepulcher. lam
going now. Come, come with me!" Aud. ,
lo, tho floor again opens, and the feet of J
the dead prophet disappear and the arms
and the shoulders and the forehead! The j
floor closes. Oh, that was an awful seanoe!
To unlatch the door between the present
state and the future str.te all the Angers of
superstition have been busy. We have 1
books entitled "Footfalls on the Boun- 1
darics of Other Worlds," "The Debatable !
Land Between This World and the Next,"
"Researches Into the Phenomena of Spir- ;
Itu'illsm" .and whole libraries of hocus
focus, enough to deceive the very elect. .
shall not take time to rehearse the his- ;
tory of divination, Delphlo orncle, sibyl or 1
palmistry or the whole centuries of lm- j
posture. j
Modern spiritualism proposes to open ;
the door between this world and the next j
and put us into communication with the ,
dead. It has uever yet offerec^one reason- j
able credential. j
When I find Sum in my text consulting a
familiar spirit, I learn that spiritualism is
a very old religion.
Spiritualism In American was born In the
year 1847, in Hydosville, Wayne County^
N. Y., whon one night there was a loud
rap heard against the door of Michael
Weekman; a rap a second time, a rap a
third time, and all three times. When the
door was opened, there was nothing found
there, tho knocking having been made
seemingly by invisible knuckles.
After awhile Mr. Fox with bis family
moved into that house, and then they had
tangings at the door every night. Ono
night Mr. Fox crledout, "Areyou a spirit?"
Two raps?answer in the affirmative. "Are .
you an injured spirit?" Two rtips?answer
ir tho affirmative. Then they knew right ,
i' it it was the spirit of a peddler
1 been murdered In that house
yeai^-.{fore and who had'been robbed of ]
his $500. Whether thaspirlt of the peddler ,
came back to collect his^SOO or his 'bones
I do not kuow.
The excitement spread. There was a universal
rumpus. The Hon. Judge Edmonds
declared iu a book that he had actually
seen a bell start froin the,top shelf of a i
closet, heard it ring over the people that
were standing in the closet: then, swUng by <
invisible bauds, it rang over the people In i
the back parlor and flouted through the i
folding doors to th4 front parlor, rang over <
the people there and then propped on the
floor. A Senator of the United States, at- i
terward Governor, of Wisconsin, bad liis i
head quite turned witii spiritualistic demon- :
strumous, a 110 raoies tippeu, nnu ine sioois
tilted, and the bedsteads raised, and the
chairs upset, ami it seamed us it the spirits
everywhere had gone into the furniture
business! "Well," the people said,"we have
got something new {a this country. It is a
new religion!" Oh, no, nay friend, thousands
of years ago, we Had in our text, a '
spiritualistic seance!
Nothing ?ln tue spiritualistic circles of
our day has boon more strange, mysterious
and wonderful than things- which have
been seen in past centuries of tho worid.
Iu all ages there have been necromancers, .
thos-e who consult with tue spirits of the
departed; charmers, those who put their
subjects in a mesmerio state; sorcerers, i
those who by-taking poisonous drugs see
everything and hear everything and tell
everything; dreamers, people who in their
Bleeping moments can see the future world i
rtnd hold consultation with spirits.
before the time of Christ, the Brahmaits
went through allthfc,table moving, all the |
furniture excitement, which tho spirits
have exploited in our day, precisely the i
same tbfng ovor and over again, uuder the
manipulation 6f the Erahmnnp. Now, do i
you sav that snlrltualism is different from
these? I answer, all these delusions I have mentioned
beloug to the samo family.
They are eliminations from the uuseeu
world.
What does God think of all t!i(?e delusions?
He thinks so severely of them that
He never speaks of them but with livid
thliudurw of indfgoation. He says, "I will
tie aawift witness against the sorcerer."
He says, "Thou shnlt not sutler a witch to
live." And lest you might muke some important
distinction between spiritualism
ami witchcrait God says in so many words.
"There shall not be among you.a cousuUhi
of familiar spirits, or wizard, or necromancer,
for they that ?lo these things are
nn abomination unto the Lord." The Lord
God Almighty in a s-ocre of passages which
I Have not now time to quote utters His indignation
against all this great family of
delusions. Alter that be a spiritualist if
you <lar??I
Still further, we learn from tills text how
It is that people come to fall to spiritualism.
Baul It ml enough trouble l.o kill ten
men. He did not know where, to go 'or
relief. After awhile he resolved to go and
ohm tli? witch of En-dor nrunc.teil that
somehow slie would afford liltu relier. It
was his trouble drove him there. Ami I
b&ve to tell you now that spiritualism
flnda its victims in the troubled, jhe bankrupt/
the sick, the bereft. You Josp your
wutcb, and you go to the fortune teller to
And where it is.
You lose ft friend; yon want the spiritual
world opened, so that you may
have communication with him. Iu a i
highly wrought, nervous and diseased j
nute of mind you go and put yourself
In that communication. That is why I
lmto spiritualism. It takes advantage
of one in a moment o* wenkness, whleh
may come upon us at any time. We
a
;&*.
lose a friend. The trial Is keen, .sharp,
suffocating, almost maddening. It we
could marshal a host and storm the
eternal world and recanture our loved
one, the host would soon be marshaled.
The liouso is so lonely. Tho world is so
dark. The separation is so insufferable.
But spiritualism says, "We will o^en th?
future world, and your loved one can coma
back and talk to you." Though we may
not bear his voice, we may hear the rap
*9 1.I. .. ? A 1.1... t,.UU CII*. /lAittti
"i ma uiiuu. ou, cica* iuu iuui<?. oii< uvrwu*
Put your hands oa the table. Be very
quiet. Five minutes Ron*. Ton minutes.
No motiou of the table. No response from
the future world. Twenty minutes. Thirty
minutes. Nervous excitement all the timo
increasing. Two raps from tho future
world. Tho letters of the alphabet are
called over. The departed friend's name
is John. At the pronunciation of the letter
fJ two raps. At the pronunciation of
the letter 0 two raps. At the pronunciation
of the letter H two rap3. At the
pronunciation of the letter N two raps.
There you have the whole name spoLod
out?J-o-h-n, John. Now, the spirit being
present, you say, "John, are you happy?"
Two raps give an afflrmati ve auswer.
Pretty soon the haud of the medium begins
t^ twitch and toss and begins to write
out, after paper and ink are furnished, a
message from the eternal world. Wiat Is
remarkable, the departed spirit, although
It has been amid the Illuminations of the ,
heaven, cannot spell as well a3 It used to.
It has lost all grammatical accuracy and
cannot write as distinctly. I received a
letter through a medium once. I sent it
back. I said, "Just please to tell those
ghosts, they had hotter go to school and get
Improved in tllelr orthogrivphy." Now,
just think of spirits, that tho Bible represents
as enthroned in glory, coming dowa
to crawl under the table and break crockery
and ring tea bells before supper is
rwady and rap the window shutter on a
gusty night! What consolation In suoli
miserable stuff as compared with the consolation
of our departed friends free from
toll and sin and pain are forever happy
und that we will jola them, not In mysterlOHfl
and hAlf utterance which makes the
hair stand on ond and makes cold chills
:reep the back, but in a reunion most
blessed aud happy and glorious!
A.nd none shall murmur or misdoubt
When God's groat sunrise finds us out.

started from Europe for the United States.
Getting mldocean, the machinery broke,
md she floundered around day after day
md week after week, and for a whole
month after she was due people wondered
und Anally gave her up. There was great
anguish in ttie cities, for there were many
who had frlends'aboard that vessel. Some
af the women in thertr distress went to the
spiritual medium and inquired as to the
fate of that vessel. The medium called up
the spirits, and the rapping* on the table
Indicated the steamship lost, with all on
board. Women went raving mad and were
carried to the lunatic asylum. After
awhile one day a gun was heard off quarantine.
The flag* went up on the shipping,
md the bells of the churches were rung,
rhe boys rau through the streets crying:
'Extra! The Atlantic Is safe!" There was
the embracing as from the dead when
friends came again to friends, but some of
those passengers went up to And their
ivives ia tho lunatic asylum, where this 1
:heat of iufernai spiritualism had put
them.
I bring against this delusion a more
fearful indictment?it ruins the soul im
mortal, * Irst, It makes a man a quarter
jf an'iafldel; then it makes him halt aa inUileli'
then It makes him a-whole infidel.
It God is ever slapped in the face, it is
cvnen a spiritual medium puts dowu ber
band on tbe table, invoking spirits departed
to make a revelation. God has told j
>'Ou all you ought to know, and how dare i
>*ou be pryfiig into that which is none of
four business? You cannot keep the Bible
in one hand nnd spiritualism in the other.
One ortheother wlllslip out of yourgrasp, i
depend up<A it. Spiritualism Is adverse i
to the Bible, in the fnot that it has in
Lhsso lust days called from the future i
world Christian men to testify against l
Christianity. Its mediums call back I
Lorenzo Dow, the celebrated evangelist, I
ind Lorenzo Dow testifies that Christians
ire idolaters. Spiritualism calls back Tom 1
Paine, and he testifies that he is stopping l
in the same house in heaven with John
Banyan. They call back John Wesley, and i
lie.testlfies against the Christian religion, ?
prhich he all hla'.lire gloriously preached.
Andrew Jackson Davis, the greatest of all
the spiritualists, comes to the front anddeilaros
that the NewTastament is but "the
iismal echo of a barbaric ago" and the
Blblo only "one of the pen and ink relics i
5f Christian Ity."
I have In my lioUBe a book used in splr- i
Ituallstlc service, It contains a catechism
ind a hymn book. Tho catechism has these
questions and answers:
o What la our chief baptism? A. Fre
luent ablution In water.
Q. What Is on* inspiration? A. Fresh air
ind sunshlae. ?
Q. What Is our love feast? A. Clear
conscience and sound sleep.
Q.( What is our prayer? A. Physical exsrolse*
'
And then it goes on to show that a great
proportion of their rellgious'^ervlce Is a
jystem of calisthenics. Thea #hen tbey
pant to afouse the devotion of the peoplo
to the'highest pitch they give out the
liym on the sixty-fifth page:
The night hath gathered up her silicon
fringes..
Or, on the fifteenth page:
/ Coma to the woods, heigh ho!
"But," say3 some one, "wouldn't it bo
of advantage to hear from the future
ivorM? Don't you think it would strength- j
sn Christians? There are a groat many
materialists who do not Tiolleve there aro .
souls, but,if spirits from the future world I
should knock and talk over to us they !
would be persuaded." Toth?t I ansrsr in
the rlugfhg words of the Son of God, "If
they believed not Moses and the prophets,
neither will they be persuaded though one
rose fro,in the dead."
I believe these are the days of which the
apostle spake when he said, "In the latter i
times some shall depart from tho faith, (i
giving need to seduciug spirits." Audi- i
eces lei this day need to have reiterated [
la clielr hearing the passages I quoted
some minutes ago. "There shall uot be
among you >n consultar of familiar spirits, i
or wizard, or necromancor, for tbey that
do tho.^e things are an abomlnatiou uu'.o
the Loi-.l," and, "The soul that turuoth
after such as have familiar spirits I will
set ar.vself against them, and they shall be
cut off from their people."
But I Invite you now., to a Christian j j
seauce, a noonduy seance. This congregation
is only one great family. Here U
the ehurch table. Conve arouud t'he church
table; take your seats for this great Cbrlsliim
seance; put your Bible on the table,
put your hands on top of the Bible and then
listen and hear it there are any voices cozi- ;
lug from tho eternal world. I think thiJre j :
ure. Listen! "Secret tblugs belong unto 1
the Lord, our God, but things that ure re- }
vea!e<l belong unto us and to our children."
Surely that is a voice from the spirit ,
world. But before you rise from this Chris- ]
tlari seance I want you td promise me you
will be satisfied with the Divfue revelation 1
untii tlie light of the eternal throne breaks ;
upon your vision. Do not go after the
witch of En-dor. Do not sit down at table
rapplngs either in sport or In earnest.
'^each your children there are no ghosts
to<$e seen or beard in this world save those ,
wIKch walk on two feet or four?human or j
bestial. Remember that spiritualism at j |
the best is a useless thing, for If It tells (
what tho Bible reveals it is a superlluity,
aud if it tolls what the Bible does not reveal
it is a lie.
Instead of going to got other people to
toil your fortuuo tell your own fortune by
putting your trust la God and doing the
bi-at ycu can. I will tell your fortune. "All
tilings work together for good to them
that love God." Iusult not your departed
friends by asking them to oome down and
scrabble under an extension i ible. Remember
that there is only one spirit
whose dictation you b ivh a right to

A Popular Fallacy.
The Idea of using brandy as a specific
for the euro of nervous debility (as caused
by overwork, mental worry, etc.) Is only
another form of the popular fallacy which
mistakes a process of irritation for a process
of invigoratiou.
"Alcohol i3 uelther a food nor a tfeneriitor
of force In tbe human body," says Dr.
N. 8. Davis, ex-President of the Amorlcan
Medina! Association, ' thoueh like ether
aari chloroform, its presence diminishes
the sensibility of the nervou"9 system and
Orala, thereby rendering the Individual
less conscious of all outward Impressions.
This diminution of sensibility may be seen
In all Its stages from simple weight, exhibited
by ease, buoyaucy, hilarity, to that
3f complete unconsciousness aud loss of
muscular power. It has long been one of
the uoted paradoxes of human physiology,
that the same individual would resort tot
the same alcoholic drink to warm him
In winter and protect from heat in summer,
to strength when woak and weary,
and soothe aud calm when afflicted in
aody or mind. The fact Is that alcohol
achieves those eflocts simply by lessening
our consciousness of impressions. But
while its presence diminishes the sensibility
of the nervous system, It also injures
the functional efficiency ot the organism
and tends to retard the process of nutrition
and elimination." V
It might bo added that oven that shamrelief
is confined to the brief initial period
of the poison-fever, and that the net result
of the experiment never fails to aggravate
the symptoms of whatever distress may
have tempted the sufrerar to invoke the
treacherous aid of aloohod. +
One srreat temptation in the practice ot
physicians privately opposed to the use of^-N^
Alcohol in any form, is the promptness of
that apparent relief effected by large doses v
of alcoholic stiuiul!iats..The patient applies S
for a remedy.not for a lecture on the phys-^.
iologlca! ofrl-cts o{ nt? unsanitary habits,'
and perhaps oroa b&liovjs in the existence
of miraculcus sp?:iflcs that would enable.
him to reconcile those habits with the et?*
joyment of permanent health. It would be
difficult to convince him that total abstinence
from stimulants, combined with frugality
and outdoor exercise, would ultimately
effect a far more thorough cure; he
demands more direct results, and believes
to have got his money's worth in the form
of a prescription by which those results
have been apparently accomplished. He
deludes himself with the hope that the
momentary feeling of relief might be accepted
as nsymptom of permanent Improvement.
But is it not, on the other hand, more
than probable tlri* the inevitable) disappointment
of that hope has done much to
weaken the confidence In the trustworthiness
of medical prescriptions in general?
H*re a3 elsawhere, absolute honesty might,
after all, prove the wisest plan.
