We will touch on only a very few of the questions that were asked, â€" and answered. i s 5. eB CDCCY â€" In the case of cold, hat lemonade is the best possible drink, and otange juice should be freely used. _ When a whiskey sling is given, the aiter ofâ€" fect iswdeptau_lholnlnlfi i0« jure the blood cells, hbence it . does more harm than good. . _ in extreme cold, it has been conâ€" clusively proved by Arctic &c:ut. that alcohol really robs the y of its heat, that men fréeze mauch more wickly if alcoholic liquor were drumk; henee such liquors are not now patt of Arctic equipment. ) Dr. Matthew Woods of Philadelph/ says that alcohol given to a person, really dolays restorat and in extrome cases of fairting exâ€" haustion, the liquor may cause death, because it diminishes the officiency of the heart muscles. 73 In the case ol LaGrippe, it was fwnd that when whiskey was given in this discase. there was great heart ¢ibaustion and feebleness, and pmouâ€" monia often followed. ___ . £ Sin Thomas Barlow, physician to the late King Edward says: Wine is wot the milk for the aged. It tends to produce heart weakness, musoular paibs, and deterioration of the blood vessels, and ‘often insanity, and acute mental depression. ‘The seeds of desire for aloohol, ¢iâ€" garettes, and opium, are often sown in infancy, by the use of soothing syrvps. Many babies have been diugâ€" ged to death by them. i Is aloohol good for anything ?
