BRANDY IN FAINTING CASES
TEETOTAL DOCTOR’S DICTUM. , Replying to a question, ‘‘Why was brandy prescribed for persons , who had fainted?” the Rev. Courtenay C. Weeks, the Director of the National Temperance League, who' is an M.R.C.S. and L.R.C.P., said it was merely part of an old tradition. Tho same restorative effect, he contended, in an address to the autumnal conference of the United Kingdom Band of Hope Union at Leeds recently, could be secured by any irritation of the tongue, by the pricking of the quick of the finger nail, or by the holding of burned feathers under the nostrils.
The Lord Mayor of Leeds, Dr. Arthur Hawkyard, in welcoming the delegates, said conditions in Leeds had changed marvellously since the first Band of Hope was formed in 1847. In the very much smaller Leeds of that day there were 451 inns and beerhouses, roughly one for each street. /
