Dr. Andrew Clark ea Alcohol.
Dr. Andrew (lark lately delivered an
eycuint address on alcohol, in the Great
Pot tlaml street school -roots, London, to
a crowded and deeply interested audi-
ence. He said he proposed offering a
few informal remarks upon the influence
of alcoholic brinks upon health, upon
work, upon disease, and upon the suc-
ceeding generation. This question of
aloohol was Of the first importanceoto us
as a nation and as individuals, attd hence
a great responsibility rested upon those
who professed to speak upon it without
authority. He ventured to say that he
knew something about this question.
For twenty-five years he had been phy-
sician to nue id. the largest hospitals in
this country. (the London Hospital), and
there, as elsewhere, it had been a part
of his business in life to ascertain the
influence which alcoholic drinks exer-
cised upon health, and he had with deep
interest and attention striven to get at
the truth of :he matter. In the first
place let him distinctly say that alcohol
was a poison, as were also strychnine,
arsenic, and opium; but as certain small
doses of strychnine, arsenic and opium
-were useful in special 'circumstances and
in vary minute dosaa, alculiod could also,
be used n.thout any ohyieus prejudicial
effect upon health. He was not going
to discuss what these Minute dioses were,
save to say that they were very mlinlite.
A perfect state of health :811(1 it was
rarely tebe fouti11 c,uldnot lebenetitted
by alcohol i;i any .e•!ree. and in nine
ti.uei nut Ot tell ir' 1:a! illi .it,l by it.
He said this not as a total abstainer.
though ho earnestly ho e.1 that :dl the

the ideal state of health which might be
enjoyed stye for the nature feu. sur.
roumlwgt. the -itis of our p•:;t It rad
our own stns. trete teas a s' r'. Cif
secondary health issse.ssed 1 v 'nest of
us, and what slid ;sleeted do for this ! .
He had tw•i, :;tswet•t to give - that this
sort of health 1- t>. apparently with alco-
hol better than the ,other. and seemed
to if bt•ueti:tees Ly it ;and this ::as exactly
the sort of health that formed the great
'debating ground of different peoplerwith
respect to the use of alcohol. Secondly
there were Boum nerveu! people always
ailing, yet never ill, for whom he had a
profound sympathy. who seemed to de-
rive great coif, it from alcohol, and to
these he had sometimes said, "Take a
little beer or wine, but take great care
never to go beyond the minute dose."
He did not e!eft'nd this, but simply stat-
ed it to avow what he tho^ght. As to
the influence of alcohol upon work, Dr.
Clark went on to encourage his hearers
to try the experiment of total abstinenee,
and observe the result in regard to work.
Letthetn, however, try it fairly, and not
allow themselves to be deterred from it
by the evil prngnusticatiotu of friends.
He was certain that if this experiment
were tried each individual present would
come to the conclusion that arci,htil t►iit
not a h'lper of work, but on the con-
trary. a hindrance.
Now as to the effect of alcohol upon
disease. He went through the wards of
his hospital to -day and asked himself
how many cases there were des to natu-
ral and unavoidable causes and how
many to drink, and he came, after care-
ful thought, too the conclusion that seven
out of ten owed their ill -health to alco-
hol. He did not say that thew were ex-
oeasire drinkers or drunkards --in fact,
it
ase not the .lrunkarls who suffered
mostly from alcohol, but the moderate
drinkers who exceeded the physiological
quantity. The drunkard eery often
was an abstainer for months together
sfter a periost ,d intemperance, brat the
moderate drinker went steadily to work

mean. of Brading out
how many victims alcohol claimed ergo
year, but certainly more thea ta-1
fourths of the disorders of fashions
life arose from the drug of which he was
speaking. 10Anally, Dr. Clark dwelt up-
on the heredity of the alouholic taint,
and dosed by saying that eoinetimes
when he thought of all ibis conglomera-
tion of evils he was disposed to rush to
the opposite *stream --to give up his
profession, to give up everything, and
to enter upon a holy crusade, preaching
to all men everywhere to beware of this
enemy of the race.
s Warning.
Jennie Cramer is the nameof a young,
beautiful and attractive lady whose dead
body was found mysteriously floating in
a stream at New Haven, Connecticut, a
few weeks ago.
She was the petted child of fond pa-
rents and a popular companion among
the young then a her home circle. She
was allowed to select her own compan-
ions and to have the utmost liberty of
conduct in her associations,
She was not "fast" as the term goes -
she was like thousands of other girls,
only "gay." She accepted promiscu-
ously the company of young men who
were fond of sport and a "good time,"
without regard to their character,or the
place or kind of amusement to which
they led,her.
Her parents never seemed to have con-
ceived the idea of her falling under evil
influences, or much leas that her reputa-
tion or life were in danger until called
to drag her dead body out of the stream.
How she came by such an end is an
inquiry still shrouded in mystery. By
some she is supposed to have been foul-
ly dealt with by her male companions,
by others that she committed suicide.
But an equally important inquiry is
suggested by her fate; aild that is,
' whether there are not thousands of young
ladies in almost every community who,
like Jennie Cramer, are left by their pa-
rents' entirely without supervision or
care as to the companions and influences
surrounding them ?
Th?s fact is pressed home upon any
nue who observes of thousands of young
men and ]idles promenading the public
itreets of our city at all hours of the
evening -we were about to say all hours
of the night. Young ladies in their
"teens," with their arms'apf'ectionately
clasped by the hand of gushing young
men, who seem to make special effort to
advertise to the public by their attitude
and their airs that they are admitted to
special familiarity with the ladies they
have in charge.
Many young ladies who submit to and
permit such manners, or ill -manners, on
the street front their escorts don't know
any better; they don't know that such
familiarity on the part of a gentleman is
gross; that it is positive evidence on the
par: of the utau who practices it either
of grosanesa, stupidity or criminal du-
plicity'.
.i young m.811 has no business to grasp
the feria of a young lady for the purpose
f escorting her through the street. Such
•
Manners, to say- the least, are "loud."
A nice sense of propriety will not sug-
gest or permit it. .l young lady. wdp'
has mit iliscreiiiin enough to repulse
Seel. :41 :cache- ought to have her father
oto Lig brother about to e•itnlnantl "hands
off. ' Toe great Clanger of the tinges is
this growing lack of a sense of propriety
'-n the part of young ladies. They may
think to enhance their personal attr'ac-
ti"iii :811,1 win the affections of the oppo-
site sex by a ireedom, and certain degree
of abandon itt their manners, but they
more often lose the respect of those who
are really worthy of their regard, by a
lack of maiden bydignity and propriety.
There is always danger to daughters who
are mingling in promiscuous society
without this l gh sense of propriety
which every lady should possess and en-
force on the part of her companions.
Jennie Cramer's fate will become a more
frequent event when parents hare ceas-
ed to observe and inform themselves of
the companionship and conduct of their
daughters who are mingling in society.

with which the words are coed in Eng-

Thus, if a question is asked t.' which the

of the gnerist "yes. sir," er "uo, sir'),
the Ann•rie.ul reply would i.e "yes, sir,"
or -fin, air," I,ttullated as with Um in
England. ' But if the reply is ieteIded
to be emphatic, then the intonation is
such as to throw the emphasis nn the
word "sir' - the reply is "yes, Air." or
"no, a;,." In passing, I may note that
I have never heard an A u•erican waiter
reply "yessir," as our English waiters
de.
The American use of the word "quit" I
is peculiar. They d„ not limit the acrd,
Ai we .lo, to the sigr,itit'ation "take
leave -in fact, I have never heard an
American use the word in that sense.
They generally list it as a' e- i i 'anent to
"leave /fl" or 'stop.'• In passing. one
may notice as rather strange the cir-
cumstance that the word "quit," which
prig/elle- menus "to go away 'rola," and
the word "stop," which means "stay
should booth have come to he used as
signifying tit "leave off, Thus Ameri-
cans say "quit foling" for "leave off
.playing the fond," "quit singing," "quit
Laughing" and so forth.
Ti English ears an American use of
the word "softie" sounds straws -viz.,
as an adverb. An American will say,
"I think some of buying a new house,"
or the like, "f: it I have seethe idea of
buying," &c. I have indeed heard the
usage defended as perfectly correct.
though assuredly there is n"t an instance
in all the wide rause of English litera-
ture which will justify it.
So, also, many- Americana defend as
good English the use of the wird."god"
in such phrases as the io!dowins: ''I

There are setae A'erieseisnIs which
seem more than defensih:e-in fact,
grammatically 'more correct than our
English usage. Thus, o cs Ie!nm heariu
America the redundant w" r'1 "got," etc.
Where the word would 1.'-: !•e redim

the more euphonious wont "gotten," ,

Vet again, we often hear in America
such expressions as "I shall get men
new hook,' "I have gotten rate a dreet „
"1 must buy one that." and the like.
This use of "nae•' for "myself" is good
old Engliah, at any rate.

that neither the conventional, hut very
generally very absurd, Englishman of
American novelists, is mads to employ
the more delicate Americanisms ..r An-
