ALCOHOL AS MEDICINE. !
Dr. Sophia Branson of Somter '
Says It Is Unnecessary.
The following: forcible article by a
physician well known in Kingstree J
will be read with interest: (
Is alcohol necessary as a medicine? )
No! Most emphatically, no! It is not
only not necessary, but it is highly
injurious and the patient who takes
it is lessening hi9 chance of life, that
is all.
Alcohol is not a true stimulant. It
is a depressent, a narcotic poison of
a most deadly nature. It is produced
by the decay of any fruit or vegetable
containing starch. It is a product
of death and decomposition and its
work is essentially to destroy and
tear down. .
I quote frkm a standard materia
medica, as follows: "The effect of
alcohol is to destroy the gastric juice
of the stomach, so inflame the gasA'
??11? nhvnnin
vnc wsiis buu w |/iuuuw vuiviuv
gaftritia if its use is continued."
Alcohol is classed with chloroform,
?ther and acetic ether. They are all
anaesthetics. They produce sleep and
are narcotic poisons. When a small
amount of alcohol is taken the blood
pressure rises, the heart beats more
rapidly, a feeling of warmth is experienced,
because the superficial
blood vessels are dilated and the person
feels stimulated. Here I again
quote from my text book on materia
medica which says: "It has been
repeatedly proved that these good resuits
are but transitory. The heart g
although at first stimulated is . more
exhausted after the first exhilaration
has passed off than it was before. ^
This ie true of all the organs of the
body stimulated by the increased circulation
due to alcohol." 1
In many campaigns and Arctic ex- 8
peditions it has been found that the t
men who used alcohol even in small ?
amounts could not do as much work t
and would freeze sooner than those ?
who were total abstainers. &
We all know that the man who t
takes a little alcohol every day sooner t
or later becomes the victim of arte- t
rio sclerosis, or hardening of the ar- 1
teries. Many a man is filling an un- 1
timely grave from Brght's disease, *
sclerosis (or hardening) of the liver
and many other chronic maladies *
brought on by the liquor habit. Those <
who enjoy three little "nips" of al- ?
cohol must sooner or later pay tfce ?
penalty in crippled bodies and weak- *
ened minds. 1
We all know that the use of alco- a
ho1 renders one particularly liable to i
tuberculosis. The alcoholics stand >
very little chance of recovery from *
pneumonia. I
When one takes a large dose of t
t ,
alcohol, his wits for a time seem *
sharpened, but this exaltation quick- >
lj passes into depression. The brain
refuses to act. The power of judg- 8
ment is abolished. The muscular t
movements are affected because the t
power of coordination is lost, and t
the man staggers iq his gait. If the 1
person should take a strong enough t
dose of alcohol the heart would be s
paralyzed and be would die. In 1915 t
the National Pharmacopaea commit- v
tee, consisting or 01 eminent pnysi- *cians
and pharmacista.struck whisky n
and brandy from the 1916 edition of 11
..the United States pharmacopaea.
Si is no longer recognized by the
*magerity of leading physicians as es:
sential to the practice of medicine. *
In fact it is not used at all in many ^
of the foremost hospitals and sani- (tariums
of the world and statistics
show that the mortality is lower than ?
\wbere it is used. '

Columbia, Feb 5:?R C Burts,
secretary of the association, has announced

Inlraals and High Coat ol Living
How many have thought that the
ligh cost of living is affecting the
tnimals of the country as well as
he men and women? The price of
rrain has reached a point where
housands of men will be compelled,
either to sell their horses, cattle,
iwine, poultry, or try to pull them
Jirough the winter on greatly cur:
ailed rations. In ordinary times
thousands of animals suffer from
a
ack of sufficient food; this year
nany will be kept on a starvation
tllowance.
This plea is often made againist
he humane societies that, in taking
iway the poor man's half-fed, brok- ^
;n down horse, they are taking
iway the support of his family. But
vhy should we allow a man to vioate
an anti-cruelty law by using a
differing horse to earn a living, any
nore than for the same purpose to
riolate any other law? The man
vho cannot afford to give his horse
>roper food and shelter ought not
o have a horse at all. He would
>etter find another means of prodding
bread for his family.
Humane societies the land over
hould be particularly on the watch
he present winter to guard against
he starving of animals. These paient
creatures can write no letter^
o the newspapers, call no convenions,
start no strikes. Unless the
ocieties organized for their proection
make th^m their special care,
rho is going to befriend them when
hey have fallen into the hands of
nerciless owners??Our Dumb AniHemingway

Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Effective
as a Remedy for Constipation.
Among older people the various
organs of the body have a tendency
to slow up and weaken, and this is
first manifest in a pronounced inactivity
of the bowels. .
Good health is dependent on regularity

of constipation a mild laxanVvAiil/1

waste. Cathartics or
purgatives should not he employed,
however; these are too violent in
action and their effect is only temporary.
A mild laxative such as the combination
of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin, known as Dr Caldwhll's
Syrup Pepsin, is the ideal remedy.
It is gentle in its action, bringing
relief in an easy, natural manner^
without griping or other pain or discomfort,

of the city. The tent, which will
have 12,500 feet of exhibition space,
will be decorated uniformly throughout

"From an invalid to a healthy
and well and strong woman was the
change Tanlacmade in my health,"
declared Mrs Genie McGrady, of 921
Ninth St, a suburb of Columbia, in
a statement she Rave in endorsement
of Tanlac.
"For a year or more before I took
Tanlac I had not been able to work
any. I had been keeping a boarding
house, but my health became so
bad I had to stop that, and I eyen
got to where I could not sweep the
floor of a room without being completely
exhausted when it was done.
My system was badly run down and
weakened, and I had wasted away
until I was hardly more than skin
and bones.
"I had no appetite at all, and I
had to force down what I did eat,
and after I would eat a few bites I
would feel puffed up as tight as a
drum. I suffered a lot with stomach
trouble and I had the headache almost
all the time. Many a time I
have had a headache so badly that I
would not know anything for three
or four hours. I could not do my
housework or anything else, and I
had begun to feel I would not live
long. I was so very miserable and
sick and had so many troubles that
I really did not care whether I lived
or died.
"The endorsement a friend gave
of Tanlac in which he told of what
Tanlac did for his wife, influenced
me to hike Tanlac, too, and about
the time I finished taking the first
bottle my husband became ill with
typhoid fever and I nursed him day
and night for over four weeks, and
held up well under the strain. I could
not have done this, though, had it
not been that Tanlac had helped me

how much the first bottle of Tanlac
helped me.
' I bought another bottle after my
husband got well. I am now working
and doing all my housework loo,
and I feel well and strong, and I
could not even sw(?p a floor before I
took Tanlac, I was so weak.

used to. ! I want to live now, for I

before I began taking Tanlac, and I

year before I took: it, and I had taken
ever so many medicines, but Tanlac
did me by far more good than
any other medicine I ever took."
