He divided them into two classes, those free from hereditary alcoholic taint and those with that taint. Of the former class 96 per cpnt were proficient and 4 per cent dullards ; of the latter class 23 per ceut were proficient and 77 per cent dullards, and of these more than one-third were very deficient mentally.” If you want a really wholesome and refreshing beverage for your children, make yoqr own Raspberry Syrup lyith Shurland’s Raspberry Fruit Extract.
