HINTS TO OFFICERS. In a special Alcohol Number of ''The Practitioner tlie leading monthly mcdi- i cal journal in Great Britain, there appears a reprint of Hints to Officers selected for service in the tropics. These are as follows "Brandy ought never to be touched unless ordered medicinally by a physician. If a man has been a total abstainer the advice given to him is—remain so. If a man has been a temperate drinker.- let him remain such, and only be more strict than ever in his temperance. If a man has been a free liver, it is absolutely essential that he should change his habits without delay, or the climate will terribly avenge itself on him for his bravado and folly. Of spirits, brandy, gin. rum. and absinthe should bo regarded as poisonous. Old Scotch and Irish whisky in great moderation well diluted, and never taken on an empty stomach, is perhaps the least deleterious of spirituous liquors and the slowest poison. Coffee, tea. and cocoa are excellent restoratives for the fatigued body or wearied brain and are far better in the performance of hard: work than alcohol."—(Ad.)
