How the Desire for Alcohol is Created.

The late I)r. J. (’. Jackson, of New York, wrote, — “Children brought up only <>n milk and grains, fruit and vegetables, simply eooked, leaving alone flesh - meats, condiments, and stimlo-narcoti tablebeverages, never become drunkard*. The love for simple food cultivated in childhood can never under any circumstances he lost! On the other hand, he said : “ Give your child the fattened flesh of animals, the salt, j>epper, and spires, which arc used in the preparation of flesh for food, and which always irritate the mucous surfaces of the stomach and bowels; give him stimulo-uarcotic drinks, such as tea and coffee, with light beer and wine on occasions, and through ihe heated condition of the blood made out of such food, your boy has begun to be a drunkard. Dr. Calvin (hitler, in “Analytic Anatomy, remarked, “ Parents mourn over many ill-elTects of unrestrained passions and moral deterioration of the rising generation, while in truth they are too often but the legitimate harvest of the seed they have themselves unconsciously sown in th«• form stimulating foods and drinks.’
