THORNLEY, Salesman U MZanufatctured by J. T. BURRISS & SON, Anderson, S. C| )NE PHYSICIAN HAS REMEDY Advocates Camoaign Against Use of Alcohol Similar to One Used Against Tuberculosis. Thirty years ago physicians were rather promoters of the use of alcohol both as a stimulait and as a remedial agent Now everywhere on both sides Df the Atlantic medical men are fore most opposers of the use of spirituous liquors as a beverage. or even as an agent in the treatment of disease. They have been living rather securely in the tradition that alcohol had al ways been with them and that most peoples who had reached the crest of development had been free users of wine and beers, and that If alcohol carried with it any peril to the race. mankind would have degenerated long ago. . Close historical study shows that drinking was not so widespread in an cient days as now. The liquors con tained less alcohol, and having no Ice machines they could not brew beer all the year around. The strong drinks, whiskies, brandies, oocktalls, bitters and absinthe had not been lnvented. Without railroads and without bottles there was less distribution. With the wider diffusion of the idea that alcohol was a food, drinking be came more general and alcoholism more ppticeable. With the tremendous awakening of science in the latter part of the ni.eteenth century, and with the extraordinary progress of the sci ence of medicine, it was natural that alcohol should have its share of inves tigation. The facts which have been borne in upon medical men by such studies are overwhelming, and physicians are just beginning to understand how much re sponsibillty rests upon them for the abatement of this evil. All physicians are .familiar with the large catalogue of physical disorders directly due to alcohol, such as cir rhosis of the liver, dropsy, multiple neuritis, heart disease, Bright's dis ease, inflammation of the stomach, arteriosclerosis, delirium tremens. wet brain, and the like. The number of these cases is constantly increas ing. Betwen 20 and 25 per cent of all the insane owe their insanity to alcohol. In answer to the question what had best be done for the prevention of alcoholism, Dr. Peterson of Columbia University thought that a campaign of education such as was being carried on in the fight against tuberculosis was the only efficient method of ward ing off the evils of drink. He advised having printed in brief form all the facts on this Question which the med ical profession now has at hand. In Paris they have statements regarding the dangers of heavy drinking, printed on posters and put up in every ward and waiting room of every public hos pital and printed on every prescription blank of the Paris hospitals and dis pensaries. Dr. Peterson asked why our publIc spirited citizens should not join in such a crusade. Children should be taught these facts in the schools. Ev ery hospital and dispensary in. the country should begin a similar method of disseminating them. Our asylums for the insane and epileptio ought to print the statistics of alcohol as a cause of Insanity and epilepsy on ev ery letter sent out. There are many shopkeepers, owners of department stores, druggists and others who would be willing to have Instructions printed on their wrapping paper. In deed, such facts should be kept as a standing advertisement in many of our newspapers with wide circulation. He had himself tried the experiment of printing them in briefer form on his own prescription blanks and wish ed that the 132,000 other physicians in the United States might be induced to aid the movement to this extent, for they knew better than anyone else the fearful ravages of alcohoL. WHAT PHYSICIAN MOST FEARS Alcohol Is Chief injury to Nervous System and Intellectual Power. Benefit Societies. In Great Britain a number of benefit societies keep abstainers and moder ate drinkers In separate sections, and even the moderate drinkers must he temperate or they are not admitted to membership. These societies are obliged to render reports to the gov ernent, and such reports show an average of 19 days of sickness per year for the non-abstainers, or moder ate drinkers, against 14 days or less for the abstainers. Dr. William L, Reid of Scotland, who cites the statistics of these ben efit societies, quotes this significant passage from Dr. Buchner, professor of medicine in Munich university: "Alcohol kills the largest number of victims by ambush, as It were, in that it undermines the powers of resist ance to sickness, so that the appar ently quIet, temperate drinker su cumbs to a lung Inflammation or to an infectious disease which the sound, normal body easily overcomes. But what the physician most fears In al cohol Is chiefly the Injury to the nerv ous system and the intellectual pow ers." Reputation la Light. "Reputation is In itself only a farth ig candle, of a wavering and uncer tain flame. and easly blown out, but It is the light by which the world looks for and finds merit."'-Lowell. THOUGHTS OF LOVE The modest man Is the last to tri amph over a woman.-Robert Hichens. Every man is unusual to the gird who is fond of him.-Horace W. C. Newte. Love is like the measles; It has more power when It attacks one late in life.-Constance Howell. Love is a thing to a large extent In Its beginnings voluntary and control able, and at last quite involuntary. H. G. Wells. Love seeks mutuality, and grows by the sense and hope of response, or we should love beautiful In animate things more than we do.--H. G. We~s. Men like to be comfortable, and the man has yet to be bora who can be comfortable on a pedestal. The ordi nary pedestal is too narrow, and the rdinarv man is too broad.-Curtis For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have .............Always Bought ALCOHOL 3 PER CBENT.

This seems to be the time of all times to side dress with an open hand and make every pound of orop possible, when all products will be needed at prices that will mean money to the producers. Think this over. If you don't think heavy side-dress ing pays, why of course we wouldn't use any. In fact, if I did't think fertilizer paid, I wouldn't use any at all. But if you decide it will not only pay for itself and make you several times its cost in clear profit, then you will need no argument as to what to do about making this application. Our advice is to apply some good fertilizer liberally and just as early as possible.
