"that alcohollo liquors are not known to
have been used till centuries after the ap
pearance of man on tbe ado's i that ail ani
mate creation below man lives nud thrives
without them I nnd that there have been, nnd
till art, mllllous of our fcllnw-cre.ituro of
both sexes and of nil ages, who live nnd niovo
and hnve their being without any such
liquors, I think wa are Justlllml In snymg
that they nre In no sense necessary to healthy
life."
It Is a fact that no living animal or plant
can lie supported on such fluids ; on thn con
trary, they nil become nlekly, and perish un
der such Influence ; thus, for example, If you
put a few ounces of alcohol Into a pall of
water lu which nm living llsh, you will llml
that tbe llsh will die in a very short time.
"Mv opinion," suy Hir "John Hall, "is
that neither spirits, wine, nor malt liquor
Is necessary for health. T!m healthiest
army I ever served nit ti bad not a single
drop of any of them."
Having now s-eu that alcohol Is neither a
food nor un Hid to dlgi'idlon, mr n necessary
of life, the question may naturally bo asked,
what is alcohol' Alcohol Is nothing morn or
less thun n dangerous irrltnnt nud fatal
poison. And just us other deadly poisons,
such as arsenic, may lu certain cases be used
iu small quantities aa timdiclnn m also, if it
has any use at all, the only lu.-itlinate usn of
alcohol Is ns a medicine. Wn learn from nil
standard books which treat on chemistry,
that alcohol is regarded and classed ue a
poison.
"It is a dangerous poison," says Dr. Car
penter. "It I'onsUtutcsupivA-crlul narcotic pob-on,"
saya 1'rofessor Chnstton.
It Is dsscribed lis u poison lu "Mat-Tla
Medlca," and ns un "irritant nnd fatal poi
son," by l'ereira.
Tho Freuch, F.nglisbaud Amerieuu dispell
atories, the highest authorities we have on
such matters, describe alcohol as "u power
ful irritant poison, rapidly causing Intoxica
tion, and. In large quuutiiiiM, death."
"Alcohol," says Hir Andrew Clarke, "is a
poison t so is strychnine, so Is opium j It
ranks with all the,, ageuls."
Sir Astley Cooper says, "I never suffer ar
dent spirits in my house, thinking tlmm evil
spirits, spirits and poisons nre synonymous
terms that Is, they mean tlmatiie thing."
We am assured by Dr. Oordou thut "it
would lie difficult to llml a more destructive
polsou thun urdunt spirits."

Temperance Is not simply prohibition, it Is
not simply total abstinence ; but lllsatrriimd

The Edinburgh School Hoard agreed at a

Tbe Ideal temperance Is that of a sound

mrtty, ubnstlty, and nlmtincnee. It means
lealth of body, uleurness of mind, fidelity of
conscience. In the lumily it implies love;
