First Tsmperance Society^ The first temperance society in this country was organized in Moreau, N. Y., in 1808. In their constitution we find the following provisions: "No member shall drink ruin, gin, whiskey or any distilled spirits except by advise of a physician and also ex­ cepting wine at public dinners under penalty of 25 cents. "No member shall be intoxicated un­ der penally of 50 cents." * This society met annually for several years. --Banner of Gold Does the liquor traffic hurt you per­ sonally? Do you say no, because none of your family are drunkards? How about your taxes? Look over your tax bills, and see how many of the items were partly or wholly due to the traffic. How much of the State and county tax went for courts, jails and penitentiaries? How many days did you serve on jury? How many were given to cases that were directly or indirectly due to liquor? A few years ago the Voice made an exhaustive examination of this subject, and reached the conclusion that the workingmen of the country lose one day in every nine, as a result of the liquor traffic. Eight days for yourself, then one for the saloon! Do you like it? If not, why vote for it? A Postmaster's View of it. 1 Blooming dale, Ind., Feb- 20, 1899. Pepsin Syrup Co. Gentlemen:--After having given Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin a fair trial in my family, I unhesitatingly pronounce it a great boon to all suffering from indigestion, constipation and dyspepsia in all their forms with all their train of evil consequences. I have fought dys­ pepsia and constipation of a severe char acter for 25 years, have employed the most skilled physicians that I could reach, have spent hundreds of dollars and now 1 find more relief in this pleas ant remedy than I have found in any­ thing else. To all persons of sedentary occupations in life, i wish to say, buy it and use it. I have spent 12 years at the postmaster's desk, averaging 14 hours per day, and know now if I had had this remedy years ago it would have saved me much suffering. Respectfully yours, W M. McCoy, P.
