(AiDVT.) ALCOHOL AND THE HUMAN SYSTEM. VERDICT OF EMINENT MEDICAL MEX. ' Sir Frederick Troves, one of the greatest of English' surgeons, and physician to the late: King Edhvard. Hie said, hi an. address given in London, that alcohol was l distinctly a poison. It had certain uses, lake atfe.' po-i soils, .'but the limitations on its use should ibe as strict as those on arsenic, opium and strychnine. It was a curious iii.sdd.ious poison, producing effects which seeni to ibe only relieved by taking more of it— a remark ■wflnioh applied to another insidious, poison, morphia, or opium. Finally, lie would) ,say that the great and laudaible ambition -of all, and especially young;men to be "fit" could not possibly ,bs achieved if Alley took allcoliol." Sir Victor Hbrsley: ''The Only proper use of alraihioi' to. an ordinary healthy person as its disuse.""Alcohol is. an irritant poison, like opium, and strychnine., hut it lacks' t-hiei r compemsatin gq u alitie s." Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson.: "I learned, purely by experimental observation, .that in. it® action on the living body, ''khi& chemical, substance alcohol deranges tfie constitution, unduly excites, the heart and respiration organs, paralyses the (minut.bloodi vessels, disturbs the regularity of nervous 'action, lowers the animaltemjpmiitiwe and .lessen si tine muscular power. Scieina? 'has sihiowtn that there. <ia no istre-agth got (by alieohol." ;. Di- Drysdal?, Senior Bhysicdan of the Metropolitan Hospital', London, says:— - "These statistics are: a death blow., not only ,to excessive drinking, but also to the moderate use cf alcohol.. Mankind, if tvrisie, will give it up." V Professor James Miller, F.fe.S.E., F.R.CS.E., Surgeon in Ordinary to Quecm Victtoi'ia- an Scotland, and PbofessoT of Surgery in the University of Edinburgh, says: "Alcohol is a poison. In chemistry and physiology this is its proper place. The result of alcoholic istimuluGi is untoward in rtm r o. ways*—-corporally, exhausting; dnteHectuaJly -and morally, dtaterio-rating.'' iDr Norman Kerr: ''Alcohol is the pia*h!o!k)g.ical) fraud of- frauds." Dr Alfred Carpenter: "There is no slaientino justification foir tlie employment of alcohol in Dir Alex. MacNicol': "AileohoiL antagonises every manifestation of lilfe, sbamips every (tissue with the seal of disease, deprave® the morals, and destroys tine «ml." Plrofesislor Sims Wood/head: "No man cam* do ifchei .best work of which he lis '.onipable if lie is taking alcohol." Sir Alfred Pearce Gould: "But the great fact .ihia-t lias been clearly demiowstrated mlbout .the u.,e of aloolilol in moderation, tfcfc those wihb take: it do not ilive so long a® those who entirely abstain from it. Now, that is" a fact as certain 019 that we ore, meeting in idiis room has evening; it' csuimloit be disputed; it is> a great foot that alcohol taken ,in moderation shortens life."
