THE ANTAGONISM OF ALCOHOL
WHAT ALCOHOL DORS.
(From Canada Health Journal)
The following extracts from an ad.
dress by Dr. Leslie Keeley, publish-
ed in the Chicago Tribune of gay 16,
1891, are of practical value at the
present bine and in full accord with
what this JOURNAL has long contend.
ed. We respectfully ask our prohib
ition friends to consider it well. and
"come over and help us" in the work
of PUBLIC HYGIENE, us of the first imp.
portance. In the first plane, Dr.
Keeley says, people drink because
they have other diseases. Ever
since the landing of Noah after the
flood ani the Cana wedding alcohol
has stood by the sick bed and has
held the lamp for feasters and revel-
ers. It has waited upon birth, sick .
miss, injury, pain, joy, marriage, re-
velry, and death alike. If drinking
is a vine only, then the prescription
is a crime. Alcohol is the instinct-
ive remedy for injury, for sudden ill-
ness, for pain. It is not the least
among the remedies used by'physic.
ians, and is acknowledged to he ben-
efical and an antidote to disease and
disease infection. As a medicine al-
cohol antagonizes disease poieuns
which depress the action of the
heart. It antagonizes the physio-
logical effects of the ptomaines o1'
pathogenic microbes. It antagonizes
the poison of sewer gas in the physi-
ological perversions. Itantagouizni
fatigue, it antagonizes body waste,
due either to labor or disease. It
furnishes heat force which is conver-
ted into work, labor, and other phy-
dialogical force. It anmsthetizes sor-
row, it stimulates joy, it kills microbes
it destroys ptomaines, it prevents
theoverformation of poisonous leuco-
maines during labor and during
fever. Why, then, need we try to
account further for the drink habit?
Alcohol is medicine for rich and poor.
It takes fatigue on its own shoulders
and climbs the hills of toil with the
workman. It sits up late with the
genius and is consumed along with
the midnight oil while dramas and
poetry are written, machines are in
yented, fortunes are discovered, and
campaigns are planned, If alcohol
bootee the arm of the murderer, it
also nerves the heart of the fever
patient. If alcohol is the genius of
the gambling den it ;s also the em-
blem of the blood in the commemor-
ation of the Lord's Supper. If it is
crime it it also medicine. If it mur-
ders it also saves. If it causes dis-
ease it also Beals. If it is a law-
breaker it makes the law.
wusN PROHIBITION WILL SUCCEED
Dr. Keeley continues : But, now,
to conclude our argument on the
vice or disease relations of the drink-
ing habit, let us further consider our
same individual who can resist both
the poison of the microbe of tubercle
and the poisoning of alcohol. Is it a
vice for this pian to swallow tubercle
germs and whisky with his breakfast
or not ? In ane sense it is, perhaps,
but in another, it is not- So long as
tubercle germs and alcohol exist the
only method of acquir'ng an immuns
ity and keeping it up must be by
more or less continual exposure to
both poisons; unless a substitute cure
is discovered. If this man is no
longer exposed to consumption poi-
son, and his children are exempt, in
time they will again begin to have
the disease. The same rule will hold
with alcohol. The question will
come up now: If there were no alco-
hol in the world, and no consumps
tion microbes, then all this trouble
could be avoided. Most certainly it
could, but shortsighted people are
the prohibitionists. The reason is
easy to give. The poisone of this
world are antagonistic to each other:
the poisons of disease are antagoniz-
ed byoso-called remedies which are
also poisons. They forget that
though alcohol is a poisn, it is also
a remedy for the poison of disease.
The difficulty of prohibition arises
from the fact that the public will not
be deprived of a remedy which' is so
convenient and easily manufactured.
Call it a charm and delusion, and
drunkeness a vice and indulgence, if
you will, but the fact remains that if
prohibition ever succeeds it will be
after the banishrnentof the infections
of disease and their poisons. If the
good people who ate agitating pro-
hibition would turn their attention
to sanitation and probibitelisease in-
fection, the question ofalcohol pro•
hibition would take care of itself.
A MAN'S LIFE FOIL A DOG.
A sequel to the terrible shooting
affair which took place at Oliphant,
near .'Wiarton, Bruce county, on
Thursday evening, June 4th, occurred
on Tuesday evening of last week,
when Johnston Abercrombie, the
victim, breathed his last. Amputee
tion of the leg was performed the
Sunday following the shooting and it
was hoped for a time Abercrombie
would recover, but he had become
much worse the past week until
death resulted. J. C. Cook who
fired the fatal shot, is now in Welker -
ton gaol.
The particulars of the case, as near
as can be learned, are that Cook bad
a dug which Abercrombie claimed
was worrying his cattle continually.
He went to Cook's house on the night
before the shooting took place and
told Cook unless he kept his dog
away from the cattle he would shoot
him. On Thursday Aberorombiecame
to Wiarton to see if he could not get
law to prevent the continuance of
the offence. On his return home he
found that in bis absence a repetition
of the worryingofhis cattle by Cook's
dog had taken place. In a fit of
passion he grabbed his gun and went
in search of the offending brute.

THE FATAL SHOT.
As soon as Abercrombie shot he
turned to walk away, when his boy
warned him that Cook was going to
shoot him, and immediately the re,
port of another gun was heard and
Abercrombie fell to the ground
wounded. Ile was taken home and
a messenger sent to Wiarton for a
doctor. Dr. R. M. Fisher and Mr. B.
B. Cooper were soon at the scene of
the tragedy. On arriving at Aber-
crombie's house they found the vio-
tim of the shooting suffering terribly.
On examination they found a terrible
wound just above the knee. The
bone was shattered for seven or eight
inches from the knee joint up, and
the flesh mangled in a shocking
manner. The wound was dressed as
best it could he under the circum-
stances, but it was apparent from
the first that the leg would have to
be amputated as soon as the poor
man recovered from the shock. The
next day Dr. Fisher returned accom-
panied by Dr. Wigle and held a eon•
sulcation over the matter, and ampu-
tation was found unavoidable and
decided upon for the next day.
WHO WROTE THE BOOK OF
ISAIAH.
DR. MIJNHALL'S REASONS FOR BE-
LIEVING THAT IT HAD BUT ONE
AUTHOR.
Dr. Munhali read this question,
which has been asked ofttimes by
some of the studouts : 'What proof
can be given that Isaiah wrote the
entire prophecy bearing his narue 4"
"The so-called higher critics teach
that the last twenty-seven chapters
were writtten by another than he
who wrote the first thirty-nine chap-
ters." In answer he submitted these
eighteen points :
1. Find this is en assumption.
It has not been proven, nor can it
be by their methods of criticism.
2. Their conclueions make it im-
possible for a man to have rnore
then ane @V,0 of writing.
3. It insists that a man's style of
composition at 60 must be the same
as it was at 25 years of age. .
4. It is the same style of criticism
that cheap editors gave to Homer
during the time of Pericles, and
medieval men gave to Virgil, or that
you give to Shakespeare and Dante.
It degrades the Bible to a level of
other books, and God says Hie
words are foolishness to the natural
man, neither can he know them,
because they are spiritually discern-
ed.
5. Even from their own stand•
.point their conclusions are ditprov-
ed. Put on your literary spectacles ;
it will do you no harm to wear them
it the Iloly Spirit has enlightened
the eyes of your understanding.
Reading the book carefully one
must be struck by very great similar-
ity of style between two portions of
the book. Such expressions as :
"The mouth of the Lord has spoken
it,""Drunken, but not with wine."
"The lion shall eat straw like the
ox," "Wilderness blossoming."
Professor Dolitizch calls attention
to the interlacing of the name of
Jacob with Israel in both parts of
the book, and the sententiousness
of expression and the came breath-
less haste in the movement of
thought are everywhere discernible.
Who- competent to judge can doubt
that the thirty-fifth chapter is the
prelude to the majestic harmonies
in the fortieth and sixty-sixth chap•
tars inclusive.
6, Josephus, mentions Isaac, the
prophet, as one who lived in the
days of Uezektah. Ile also gives
the remarkable story of Cyrus bring-
ing help to tho people, an explana-
tion of which is said to be "His
reading the book which Isaiah held
behind him in his prophecies."
Josephus then adds this was fore-
told by Isaiah 140 years before
the temple was destroyed.
7. The wording of the decree of
Cyrus orderiug the erection of the
Temple of Jerusalem is taken from
that part of the prophecy written, as
the higher critics tell, us after the
days of Cyrus.
8. The author of the first part of
the hook wrote in the reign of
Hezekiab L, and the author of the
secoud part of the book speaks of
Hezekiah'e wife as a type of Testa --
ed Israel, see Isaiah lxii., 4 and 2.
Kings xxi., I.
-9. The Book of Ecleeiasticus
identifies Isaiah with the titnee of
King Hezekinh and the authorship
of but.h parts of the book.
10. The entire book of Isaiah was
attributed to the son of Amos by
the great synagogue composed of
such men as Ezra, Nehemiah,
Zebariah, and Haggar five hundred
years before Christ's advent.
I1. The latter synagogue used it
every Sabbath day as the Book of
Isaiah, and fifteen out of sixteen of
its prophetic readings are taken from
chaptera 40 to 60.
12. The Talmud and Targum
ascribe the whole book to Isaiah.
13. John the Baptist, said Ieaiah,
wrote Isaiah 40-3.
14. Jesus Christ, said Isaiah,
wrote Ieaiah ilii., 4, see Matcher villi,

15. Luke stays in Acte xxviii., 26
and 27, that Isaiah wrote chapter
6.9 and 10, and he also says in Ants
28 and 30, that Isaiah wrote
chapter liii., 7 and 8; so knew but
one, Lettish.
16. Paul says Isaiah write chap
ter 65, I and 2; see Romana x.,
and 21. He also quotes from chap-
ters 1, 10, 11, and 53, or all from
the same inspired penman.
17, The four evangelists' and the
apostles believed the one great pro-
phet to be the writer of the entire
book and quotes 125 verses arum it,
and refers to the whole book 162
times.
18. The concennus of the church
in all. days has been this : Isaiah
wrote the entire prophecy of Isaiah.
KILLED BY A PANTHER.
That was a horrible death the
other day in the backwoods of Ten•
nessee, of Millie McCoy. MissMc-
Coy and two girl friends, Mary Fly
and Myra Johns, left home Wednes-
day morning on a blackberry hunt.
They proceeded to the woods, about
six miles awey where the fruit was
found in abundance. The vines
and foliage wets very thick, and, in
a lonely place Miss McCoy wander-
ed oft from the others some bemired
yards to a place where the fruit
grow in profusion.
Suddenly a wild scream blood-
eurdiulg in its keenness, rang out.
The girls were terrified beyond
measure, not knowing what kind
of a wild animal was in the vicinity.
Again the terrifying shriek sound-
ed and the two girls together shrank
down behind some bushes. Mies
McCoy started toward thew at a
rapid walk, when a panther appear-
ed directly behind her. The frigh-
tened girl screamed and started to
run, but she could not escape. The
beast seized her and she was torn
to pieces. In many places the flesh
was literally stripped from the
bones.
'!'!:b other girls, seeing the ani-
mal attack their friend, ran scream-
ing from .the scene, never stopping
unit they reached home, when a
party of men organized and, with
shot guns, hurriedly went to the
scene of the attack. The panther
was still at the body and was shot
by the hunters. The beast measur-
ed seven feot seven inches from tip
to tip. It had escaped from a cir-
cus.
"WHO WAS DE GEMMAN4"
The sleeping -car porter faithfully
gathers his "50 cents all round,"
But as faithfully carries out his
orders when the money is in sight.
The Hartford Poet tells how scene
man found it out by bitter ex-
perience.
"The President of one of our in-
surance companies, juet returned
from a Western trip relates the
following good story : On the train
going from Chicago to Dubuque,
Iowa, was a passenger in one of the
sleeping -care who had been drink•
ing heavily, but realized the fact
that he was intoxicated. As lie was
about to retire without disrobing
he called a porter to him and, hand-
ing out a dollar, requested to be
waked up at Rockford, Ill., and,
said he: `Be sure and put me off,
Whether want to or not. I know
I'm pretty full and when I am in
this condition I'ni likely to fight,
but don't mind that, just put me off
and it will be all right."
"The colored porter promised to
do so, and the man was soon asleep
in hie berth.
"Early next morning, as the train
was nearing Dubuque and the pass-
engers were hurriedly dressing, the
colored porter was attending to his
duties with his head bandaged, one
eye closed and hie, face showing hard
usage.
"Just then the Rockford passen-
ger crawled out of his berth, looked
out to get hie bearings and then
went for the porter : 'Look here,
you---, what does this mean 4
Didu't I tell you to put nee off at
Rockford, you -4'
"Tint darky [coked at hire a mom-
ent and said : 'Is.you de gammen
what wanted to be put off 4'
"'Yes, I'm the one, you ---
--, and I gave you a dollar to
nee to it !'
" 'Well, if you's do -gemmae
what give me dat dollar, what I
minter know ie die yer, who was de
gemman dat I put offet Rockford?"
THE NEW TAY BRIDGE.
The new Tay bridge is about two
miles long and has eighty five piers.
Seven piers ou land connect the
bridge railway with tbo North Brit-
ish system running into Dundee.
The trains are run on the lower por-
tion of the big opaus and the upper
boom of the others, and the bridge
is built with the double lines on a
steel floor. The average height
above high-water mark is seventy-
seven foot clear in the center of the

ANTIQUITY OF FREE M
O N RY.
A writer in the Chicago ,Int-Sx
Ocean :—While listening to the lec-
tures recently that constitute the
moat interesting part of many of the
ceremonies in a Masonic body, it oc-
curred to me that it could not have
existed as a society anterior to Chris-
tianity. Masonry is not anti Chris-
tian, notwithstanding. The Jew
and the gentile can consistently
stand at its altar, yet we can see that
the lectures in the Blue Lodge are
really founded upon the Christian
religion. The earliest system of lec-
tures known date back to the year
1720. Those Iectures alluding to
the "Blazing Star" is explained by
illustrating that star as the one guid-
ing the wise men to Bethlehem,
The Hutchison lecttwes, used Ewen
ty years later (Sharp's Mugcrzine, vol.
vii. p. 48), explained the three
lights as the great epochs of Mas-
onry, "The knowledge and worship
of God, tho service under the Mosa•
fc law, and the Christian revelation,"
Again we find in the old English
lectures the five steps of the winding
stair were represented as indicating
"the birth, life, death, resurrection,
and ascension of our Lord and Sav-
ior Jesus Christ." Again the degree
was opened by a passage from St.
Paul's epistle to the Thessalonians :
"Now we command you, brethren,in
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that ye withdraw yourselves from
evey brother that walketh disorder-
ly." Every member of a lodge
knows that St. John the Baptist or
St. John the Evangelist were emin-
ent patrons of Masonry. Historical
facts show that these apostles were
undoubtedly the first to organize a
society for the purpose of aiding to
spread the new religion ; that Wraa
the parent of the present system of
Masonry. \Vhile the traditions of
Christianity, protected by a supreme
power, came down through the dif-
ferent ages, Masonry in its travels
front one part of the world to an-
other partook of the romance and
ideality of the people of the East
and the West; yet always, though
apparently hidden from the many,
taught through its ritual the Fublime
truths of Christianity.
IN PRAISE OF THE SMITHS.
An orator, named Smith, thus
held forth to an amused audience in
praise of hie cognomen :—"Gentle-
men, my name is Smith, and I am
proud to say I am not ashamed of
it. It may be that no person in
in this crowd owns this very uncom-
mon name. If, however, there be
one such, lot him hold up his head,
pull up his dickey, turu out his toes,
take courage, and thank his stars that
there are a few more of the sante
sort.

THE INNOCENT SUMMER
GIRL.
The summer girl is a sweet, inno-
cent, demure little creature, or she
contrives to make the men think so,
and that's all she wants. Her chief
sorrow in life is her bang. Not
that she undervalues that fluffy beau-
tifier, but because she knowe she
looks so fearfully haggard when it's
stringy and because it can't be made
stay in curl this sweltering weather.
Happy the damsel who has naturally
curly hair. She can dance, play
tennis, ewim, boat flirt and "spoon,"
all unmindful of her bang. But
alas for the girl who owes her bang-
ful charm to a curling iron! In
vain she tries vaseline, bandoline,
"curlette" and pomades. They are
a delusion and a snare. So that iu
the end she of the straight hair set-
tles down to a cunning little false
"fringe" sewed in the rim of her
hat.
One of the sammer girls who
wears one is spending the summer
at a windy point on Lake Michigan,
and thereby hangs a tale. She had
been flirting desperately and success-
fully with a Chicago man off spend-
ing his vacation. "He was just on
the roint of proposing," said she af-
terward, "He was holding both of
my little hands in his, and as the
moon went under a cloud then I'm
sure I'd have had him hooked, but
there came the most tremendous and
diabolical gust of wind. I didn't
have a hand free to hold my hat on
with, and away went hat and bang
into the lake. We couldn't get
them and 1 had to go back to the
lights ofthe hotel bangless ? And
my forehead is two inches high anrt
I am a perfect fright with it bare.
Of course it spoilt all the romance
and my chances with that follow,"
and she sighed heavily over the
"alight have been."

TOO LATE.
The old roan did not want Jim
Smithers to marry hie daughter.
Jim did marry her and her father
was just in time to drop into the
minister's parlor after the young
couple had been hitched together.
The old man immediately on his
arrival turned to the bridegroom
and said :
"I'rn too late, ain't II"
"Ef you mean that we're married,
there ain't no doubt but what we

also recovering firmness. "An' I
