They were in. great distress, and said that the lad lad twice a tempted to murder his baby brother. ' The last time his mother had just been in time to pre- | vent him. cutting the baby's throat ! with a. pair of scissors. Examined by Dr Garnier, the child he 'wished to murderhis brother, .and that lie would do so. .jsaid tplthf. father, "Are you a drinker?';' „ :T hi) man qrotested indignantly. He, had never been drunk in his life. '. His wife backed up his assertion. 'Hcild out your hand at arm's length,'' said the doctor. The man obeyed. After a few seconds the hand began the devil's dance to which alcohol ild-'Jcs the tune. "As I thought," said the doctor, "My poor fellow, you are an alcoholique." He questioned the man, who said he was a brewor's layman, and his master's' oustuim'-rp, usually gave him a glass of wine. This had been going on steadily for years.. "With the result,"" sail th'|> doctor, "that you have n-vver lieyit drunk, but you have become so completely alcoholised that yo" have transmitted to that unfortmaie baby a form of epilepsy which has developed into homicidal mania." This is an extreme case, but in thousa.iis of instances the «hv of drinking carries its penalty to the next generation. VOTE FOR THE BOYS, NOT FOR THE B*VRS.
