The mai difference between the drinking habita of the Jaal generation and of the present would ween to be, that formerly men, when they sat down to drink, drunk more at a time, while now men drink moderately, ut a sitting, but, in sips or "nipa" drink a good deal during each day. Whether the modern babit is better than the old babit is a question which posscuses only a speculative interest The important thing is, that the modern babib should be recognised As vicious and nowholesome.
that this is quite an old story now, and perhaps people may be tired of ata repetition. Unfortunately the necessity for speaking of it does not appear to bare dimin. ished, Alt a year ago the docture published declaration respecting ukechel, insisting that, Es medicine. : ought to be prescrihod with the same care and precision ne any other powerful drug, and painting out that its valve as an article of diet was immensely overrated, The document also recomtaendel legislation with a view to contine the use of alcohol within proper limits, and to promote habits of tem petunde, Barong own parb, weahold be disposed to rely much wore confidently on the personal in-China and Japan Marine Insurance-Tis. 22 Auto of the doctors themselves than on any kindof legislation. Something may be done by legislation to enforce order and decorum in the streets and in pliers of dommon resort, and to curtail the facilities for public drinking, but. after all this is only maki clean the outside of the platter. Most reasonable persons will udmi, that the Licensing Act Key aboot Na Eer in this direction as is practicable, if indred it does not rather overshoot the mark. It is just because we are convinced of the Lowerlessness of legislation, because we die truat ali violeut evereire measures, and
bare no fail in sy reform which does not spring from volautary restraints and an in-
prural state of public opinion, that we feel
bound once more, at the risk of wearisomo iteration, to call attention to the subject. The Excise returne, the statistics of ariminal offences, the warnings of the store, the feverishes and are tement of aucial life, the Brien ir nervae diurders, the orowded drinking bare, and the marked increase of the number of reeling drunkards in the streets, all point to the same conelusion, It is im possible to doubt the growing intemperance uf the working classes, Personal observation en not a point may sometimes be misleading. but the saine story comes from all parts of the country. As a rule, high wages seem to mean valy more drinking and drinking metus wile- ; beating at home and Bghting in the streets.
