They will agree with every statement made abeut the injurious •fleet of alcohol, and will acknowl­ edge that drunkenness Is the worst habit that could be formed. They will deliver temperance lectures te themselves by the hour and weep freely as they recount their misery and sufferings. Give the most earnest protester among them a bottle of whisky and they will seize It eagerly tbe thought of whisky starts tbe ma­ chinery of desire going so strongly that nothing can resist it, and ususlly, until a patient's stomache is healed, she will drink whiskey if she oan get It until insensibility is produced."
