hospitals of a large city suffering fromn bruise he had fallen backward across a narrow ob struction of some kind and upon ex amination it was found that he had fractured one of the bones of the splne the back was not what is commonly called broken but one of tho bones wns cracked in auch a way that unless an operation was perform ed and the pressure of tho fragment upon tho spinal cord relieved par alysis and probably collapse would follow tho operation though vcompanatl vc- y rare is not excessively dlfflcul and tho mans chance tor recovery would huve been at least an even one but when the surgeons ordered him to bo prepared for tho operation it was noticed that he bore marks of being addicted to drink the opera tion was immediately abandoned and the man died within a week to the casual reader it might seem a caaeof professional heartlessness ibjicttie doctors know from sufficient experience in just such cases how powerless the man would be worn out as he was by indulgence to withstand the shock of the operation and since cases of a similar sort are of fre quent occurrence in all our large public and private hospitals it is worth while to enquire into the cause of such a state of affairs and to draw from it a lesson nnd perhaps a moral the downward course of a person who becomes enslaved tostimulants follows a natural law beginning with a sufficient quantity of
