DR BARNARDO AND THE CHILDREN.
The late Dr Barnardo said: — " The life histories coming before me in a single day would suffice to convince the most incredulous how widespread and deep-seated is that cancer of drink, of which the destitution and' suffering of the children are too often merely the external . symptoms. This vice is the dark cloud which overshadowed nearly all the young lives growing up in the cellars and alleys of our great cities, and it will be universally acknowledged that no effort to save them can every be successful which does not carry, before it, as a watchword, a declaration of inextinguishable resistance to that great drink traffic, which sweep 6 away so many unhappy young victims into its whirlpools."
