Indulgence soon led to the search for means of avoiding that, and efforts were madò to dis.. cover how to keep well and strong against drink, and how to get well quickly after any inmoderate use of wine or other strong liquor. The Arabians were the first, be thought, to suggest the gold cure for ioobrity, It was at best a quack remedy, but it has its modero tevivala, Oce writer gives an explanation of how it was applied, "Gold,' says he, "that was brought in a place to do a sbrowd turo, wash it well, and sprinkle those to be cured with the water. The quack kopt the gold and gave the patient the water. (Laughter.) Notwithstand- ing all these preventive measures, a contain proportion of the population could
- NEVER REY'ST THE INFLUENCES of strong drink. For the condition of drunkeu- Dess they resorted to emetics, pick-me-ups, evaporating lotions for the head, Satha-shower baths particularly. The shower bath was Sam Welles' method of dispelling the effect of an evening's conviviality at Bury, and making bim feel less like a walking brandy bottle in the morning. (Laughter.) He simply put bis head, under a water pump and got a boy to work the pump. The Greeks had a notion that they could kill 'drink by drinking, just as they could prevent hydrophobia by taking some of the hairs from the tail of the dog that had inflicted the bite and previously burning them to ashes, administering them to the vic.. tim in a large bumper of good old wins, (Laughter.) Surgical operations were even' tried, and the blistering iron was a favourite treatment for over-drinking, All these remedies failed because they "did not take individuality into account Science has not made all men. equally strong in the power of resistance to evil influences, and any device for remedying drunkenness has to reckon with the jerry-built map the man with a tendency to indulge in too much riot,' and who becomes a nuisance. and a'danger to himself and to society, not by reason of the cup, but of consequences which arise therefrom. (Hear, hear.) So we have the introduction of legislation as a consequence of evil doing.

li ever there was a temperance reformer dis tinguished for thoroughness, it was Lycurgus. He cut off the legs of drunkards, and destroyed all the vines he could. Solon, the law giver, condemned an Archon to death for drunken- ness, and the Ssaate of Areopagus bad early closing Acts, and punished people that stopped too long at the wine bar. Pittscus, the saga of Mytellene, inflicted double pubishments. For crimes committed in drink. These laws seem to have been very effective judging from the present condition of Greece. Greece is country in which to-day there is not aap single restriction against driöking, and no punish- mants for drunkenness. The vice of dranken- porta orders carefully executed.

showered upon their poor creatures from the In Case of 475 the. net $5,50 per Cask earliest days till now, la.our qwa.country, the ke severity of these laws was of such a character as to be infinitely worse than the evils of the most unrestrained system of liquor traffic. In the days of our modern elegance, and refinement, these punishments have been discarded, and the magistrate has to deal with the question of the control of alcoholism. He does it by a process of imprisonment, a punishment which has been in existence for drunkenness from the time of the early Saxods, and from then til. now it has never succeeded in reforming dingle drunkard“ Oss poor woman, Jane Cakebread, was convicted and imprisoned in this enlighten- ed country and age 350 times for drunkenness before removal to a lunatic asylum, where she died.
