SIR Victor Horsley, speaking in Norfolk, siid that alcohol had obtained a fictitious medical v»lue. Much intemperance was due to alcohol having been given as a medical medicine. The advance of science bad shown that there were other drugs with a quicker action and none of the ill after effects of alcohol. 10 0 Composition of Wine. PROFESSOR Mulder, in his work on the "Chemistry of Wine," says that in the manufacture of wino there are two main processes—the process of fermentation and that of clearing—and he tells us that adulteration begins at the very moment the grapes are gathered. He also says that ia the process of fermentation are added (among other things) cream of tartar, bone charcoal, juniper, and preparations of lead —the latter, if added in the smallest quantity, renderhag the wine highly deleterious. Then comes the process of clearing or " fining," and he says that there are added (among other ingredients) powdered marble, gypsum, blood, salt, and sulphuric acid, and also that in sulphurising the casks the wine {may become not unfrequently arsenical. 10 0
