FERGUSON LAND & ESTATE AGENT, ASHBURTON ■"■""■" --"-1 '■ I F. FBJSHIMAN The Use of "Brandy." BE B. DUDFIELD, Medical Officer of Health for Paddington, in his last annual report, just issued, commenting on the manufacture of " brandy" so called from ' silent' spirit (spirit made from grain potatoes, etc., by distillation in a patent still), says :—" Silent spirit ia not of a character which commends itself to the medical profession as a harmless drink. Indeed, it usually contains a considerable portion of furfural, which is distinctly poisonous in its action. The intoxication resulting from excessive consumption of spirits adulterated with ' silent' spirit is marked with greater nervous disturbance, and is more injurious to the system than that due to alcohol derived from (what may be described as) natural sources. For medicinal purposes there is no comparison between the two spirits. The stimulating effects so valuable in shock and exhaustion depend on the ethers and aldehydes. It is therefore, very desirable that brand iea should be plainly distinguished—the name ' brandy' being reserved for the spirit derived frosi grapes, and some other trade term assigned to blends of ' silent' and other spirits, fiavoure:! to resemble brandy." • . . . 10

Intemperance in Germany. SOME striking facts have recently been brought to light in Berlin bearing on the pernicious results of indulgence in alcohol. The medical director of a large workmen's hospital, Dr Stadelmann. Bays that nearly, 30, per 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 suicides, instructive statistics Bhow that in s 300 suicides which occurred list year in i 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 fch.e children of drinking parents. 10 0 BUSINESS NOTICES • fjrJ£J&JSJnLiLITX f Suegeon & Mechanical DEWTIST.
