V. FEKR.IMAN The Use of " Brandy. I.' BRT?. PUDI'IEU), Medical Officer of IJop.lth for PiuJdiugtort, in his last annual rpp'-rt, jiwt issuoii, commenting 1 on the rnannf/ii'.iuro of! "brandy" sn called from 'eilunl' spirit (spirit made from graiii potatoes, etc., by distill* 1 ion in a p'itenr. still), snyu :-"Silant spirit it not rf a character which commends itpclc' to tha medical profeMt'OU as a harmless diink. Indeed, it u>u.i!ly cont tins a cons'clerable portion of furfural, which is dUtinc'ly poisonous in its aaticn. Tlut intoxication rosulting from exc<\*t-ive consumption of spirits sidii iterated with 'silent' spirit is markod with greater nervous di?ti;rbsn:e, «nd is roore injurious t.> the system than that duo to alcohol derived from (what may bo described as) natural sources. For medicinal purposes there is no comparison betwoim the two spirits. The stimulating affects so valuable in shock and exhaustion depend on the ethers and aldehydes. It is therefore, very desirable that brandies should be plainly distinguished—the name ♦ brandy' b&ing reserved for the spirit derived from grapes, and some other trade term assigned to blends of 'silent' and other spirits, flavoured to rosemblo brandy." 10

Intemperance in Germany, QOME striking facts have recently been kO brought to light in Berlin bearing on the pernicious results of indulgence in alcohol. The medical director of a large workmen's hospital, Dr Stacelmann. says tbat nearly 30 por cent of the unhappy wretches who fill the large wards in his hospital are there because of the misuse of drink, and to these another 10 per cent may be added for those whose parents have been drinkers. " Were drinking: customs abolished," says Dr. Stadelmann," not one hospital would be wanted for every three now in use, and not one lunatic asylum in ten." With respect- to the effect of alcohol on suicidee, instructive statistics show that in 300 suicides which occurred last year in Germany, in 150 cases the suicide was under the direct influence of drink, and 78 when the victims were recovering from the effects of intoxication. Of the remainder 25 were the children of drinking parents. 10 0
