The aspect of liquor drinking, as presented by the official invatigations of Dr. Chx, is not to be viewed merely in the light ofan abStract question of Temperance, but as an issue of health or disease—life or death.

Although not personally acquainted, I take great pleas- tire in contributing my mite, in - any and every possible mode, where the object is the.bettering . of the condition of the. hu man family. I have haillTsithilar letters with similar requests fram every - point Of the compass—from the extreme North, South, East and West—to all of which I have cheerfully responded; believing, although the labor has-been considerable, that it would -tell in after years .in the, longevity and health of thouliands 'who' would otherwise fill. a premature grave, and would contribute to the happiness and comfort of thouSands' of mothers and children, who are and have .been, unfor tunately, connected with. the unfortunate slaves 'of intemperance. I rejoice t oknow that my exposures of the .tiittainous quors with;which the Markets, East . and Wrest, are glutted,. have had a salutary moral influencein almost every. region of lour happy Union: -I have letters in my l possession from ministers of the • Gospel `from New Orleans,-front- Nas'f:Ville, Ten nessee,- from Florida; front New York, ' I from from BiohruoutkV*, Alex.'

For example : A • gentleman of our city, a druggist, that he aught .beve pure liquors as a medicinal artieleotrid .thatkind for purity, &c:, that he. could recommend to his customers, went to .NeW York and. purchased two half-pipes- of. splendid " Seignette Bran dy," one vale, the other dark. When passing ote day, .he called me in to see his "Leautiful,..pure brandy," just from 'New York 1. • 1. stopped,- looked at it, swelled at it, but before tasting it, hap pening to have some blue Litmus paper in my pocket, Lintro_dueed. & small piece —it cane red' as„ scarier l'.' 1.. then called.fer a polislfed spatula, put it into a tumbler containing, perhaps, half a gill, and waited on it 15 minutes—at the ex piration of which the liquor was black as ink. Tltelspatula corroded, and when dried bad e.thick coating of rust, which when wiped off left _a, copper coat almost as thick as . if it had been plated.. I charg ed him on the spot, - uuder penalty of the law, not to sell a drop of it; took samples of it to my. office, and the.followiug is the result of the analysis, viz; ' Ist sample, (dark,) 53 per cent alcoholic spirits by volume, and 41 per cent by weight ; specific gravity 0.951. The tests indicate Sulphuric Acid, Nitric Acid, Nitric Ether. I'rua sic4lcid,, Gitinca Pepper, and an abundance of Fusil Oil. Base—common whiskey, not. one drop of wine. 2nd sample , (pale,) per cent -. alcoholic spirits by' . volume,,l9 per cent by weight, Specific p;ra.vity. 0.955. This article has the same adulterations as the first, but in greater abundance, with. the itddition of Catchur. tnerk. 7 . 7 .l,lost villainous concoctions. As a matter of course, these articles or , liquor could not be sold without a viola tion,of the liquor law, consequently I con- • demised them. They were purchased on 4 months' time,.
