DRINKERS,
Professor Denny, speaking in Glasgow, said the returns of the whisky trade for Scotland could not be read without shame. There were 140,000 more gallons of whisky drunk in 1893 than in 1897. Within tho past few years no fe\ver than 40 distilleries had been built in the Elgin and Banffshire districts alone.
WHAT MEDICAL MEN SAY. ALCOHOL AND COLD. Sir Benjamin W. Richardson, M.D., said : " In my inquiries I put to the test the action of cold water, wilh^and without alcohol, on the same kind of animals tinder precisely the same conditions. I found, there upon, that if two animals of the same kind were let sleep in a cold atmosphere, with no other difference between them than one went to sleep under the influence of alcohol, and the other free of that influence, the one under the alcohol would sleep' not to wake again, while the other would wake from its sleep in the natural way at the natural time."
