Henry U. Marcy, M. D., LL D., of Boston, Mass, ex-prusident of the American Medical Associa tion, delivered an address on “The Temperance Movement in the South from a Scientific Point of View.” He asserted that the rapid change of public sentiment favorable to most radical meas ures for the suppression aud con trol of the sale of alcohol as a beverage was not a mere senti ment or theory, but was a deep feeling of alarm and recognition of the ifluence of alcohol in in tensifying and increasing the social perils of home life and good government. Medieal and hygienic study, based on statistics and mortality tables, indicate that alcohol as a beverage is a most active cause of denegeratioo and disease among t^e colored and illiterate class of the Sooth. The unrestrained ose of alco hol is literal^ anarchy in which life and property are in constant peril. All the loaders recognise that the alcoholic problem has a sanitary side of the most absorb ing interest, and this most be recognised end become n part of the practical life of every cozn- mnnity. The nnsettled conditions of borne life, the prejudices and conflicts of races inseparable to the evolution of a new South, most have no oomplications from aloohol and foioes that are de structive to all healthy growth. Industrial progress and devel opment of the vsst resources of the South is obstructed and re tarded nulesa alcohol and its use as a beverage can be controlled or suppressed. • PR KKJXY. Dr Howard K .•Kelly, of Balti more, Md , professor of diseases of womeu in the Johns Hopkins University, declared that “The Alcoholic Problem in Every Day Life” is becoming more and more apparent in the diseases, degenerations and injuries which are traceable directly to the use of alcohol. Every thoughtful physician must recognize that alcohol as a beverage and even at a medicine has an unknown danger that may come into prominence in a great variety of diseases and condi tions. Every day’s experience brings out this fact, ^ and while we are not always able, to trace the eon- Is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Pare goric, Drops and Soothing Syrups. It is Pleasant.

GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS Bears the Signature of spirits is a centre for the promulgation of this disease, and is doomed to extinction from a larger and more exact knowledge. 3. Science shows that alcohol as an antesthetic has a value in medicine, but its real power is that of a fuel, light and force producer. 4. That cheap alcohols can bo made from a great variety of sources that will be active com petitors to electricity, gasoline and steam. 5. What is needed is the in vention of boilers, lamps and means to utilize and make prac tical this great power of alcohol. 6. Every distillery and brew ery in the country will be requir ed for the manufacture and dis tribution of eheap alcohols when the inventor supplies the missing links. 7. Alcohol will become one of the great rivals of electricity to do the world’s work, because it can be made from the waste and by-|hrodtiets in every section of the country. 8. Bier, spirits end all other forms of aloohol as beverages will dissppcsr when the inventor ■bows os how to harness and uti lise this new latent power of civi lisation. 9. The future of the alcoholic problem will be followed by a great revolution in commercial industry, snd will be a question of sanitary science sad inveatoc’s ■kill. DB PARKS. Dr W.B. Parks, of Atlanta, (is, editor of the Altruist, in t paper on The Effect of Alcohol and Temperament as It Relates to Race and Nationality,” said that many of the characteristic! of the effects of alcohol on the bodj were governed by the race and nationality. To the Englishman alcohol bronght repose and comfort: to the Frenchman it created excite ment and interest; to the Ger man it was anaesthetic; to the Italian it was courage and force; to the Irishman it was sense en joyment ; to the Am* rican, alco hol simply gives a feeling of pow er and capacity without any pro nounced types. The negro is not an inebriate as a race. He drinks to quiet excitement and to give relief. The Jew is not a race drinker. Alcohol to him is simply a sedative. The Russian takes aloohol in the place of food, and his dunking is a very mark ed characteristic. The Kind Ton Bare Always Bought In Use For Over 30 Years. A Steady Dream.
