TEMPERANCE.
THE OLD FAMILY CLOCK.
“ Tick, tock,” goe* the old clock!
It* ancient case Is Meek with age.
Yet Its tongue takes, with steady caaee,
The measure of the moment's doom.
And through the lonely keeping-room
“ Tick, took,” sounds tha old clock.
The moments slowly Interlock
In sigh*. She vainly tides to sew.
Shunning the feet she soon must know:
A whisper teems te pierce the gloom
As once: “Mother, why don't he comef”
“ Tick, tock,” answers the clock.
Slowly swings the old clock I
t deeper grief than that of death
jDrlps In her tear*, and ohtlla her breath
With voiceiese fear: ha, staggering, near*
With bloated face and ribald Jeers.
" Tick, took,” cor* the old dock.
“ Tick, tock.” mgs the old dock.
Hark! wa* that an echoing «igh.
Or tha wind's rising lullaby’
How sweet to slip out on I. - tide.
And Into Heaven's harbor rm
Solemnly swings the old clock.

Th# Scriptural Argument Concerning the
Um of Wine and Kindred lleverng*-*.
The evil of drunkenness is as old as
the art of making wine, which certain
ly dates back as far as the time of
Noah—and it is probable that the ante
diluvians possessed it. There are many
references to wine-drinking and to
drunkenness in the Bible—the former
without censure, and the latter always
with reproach and condemnation.
Down through the circling centuries
it has always been co as regards the
latter. Yet at the present day there
aremen who attempt to "steal the
livery of Heaven to serve ” the Rum
Devil in, who are foolish enough to
argue that as the Scriptures do not
prohibit the use of wine, and ns our
Saviour's first miracle was the turn
ing ot water into wine at the marriage
feast held in Cana of Galilee, that the
use of it and similar beverages should
not be prohibited to-day.
We pity the weakness of any one
who could be convinced bv so poor an
argument. These "drinking Chris
tians’’ seek to make the religion they
profess a bulwark for tlie- giant vice of
the nineteenth century, which is the
cause of more poverty, suffering,crime
and death tlian any other. They for
get, ip. so doing, tiiis one great fact:
Distilled liquors (whisky, brandy,
gin, rum, etc.) were not known at the
time the Scriptures were written.
The great ally of the devil, the still,
was not known. A\ine was the only
Intoxicant. Suppose that the modern
doctored and drugged whisky had
been the drink upon the table at the
Cana wedding instead of weak wine:
do these foolish ones who think
Christ’s first miracle an argument for
the use of alcoholic drinks think for
an instant that He would have turned
a jug or two ot water into ‘'forty-rod
whisky? Do they suppose that He
would have sanctified what would nec
essarily have been a drunken orgy bv
being present and thus, tacitly at
least, giving countenance to its use?
Had whisky and the whole list of in
fernal compounds of which the worm
of the still is the fruitful parent been
known when the two tables of stone,
graven by the linger of God, were de
livered to Israel’s lawgiver amid the
thunderings and lightnings of Sinai,
can any one doubt that among the list
of "Thou shall not s' their use would
have been included?
It is a lact—and none ts more clear
in the pages of history—that drunken
ness was one of the minor vices up to
the time that the art of distilling was
invented. There was nothing which
could intoxicate save wine alone.
Whisky and its congeners were un
known; and the art of brewing—of
concocting n auscons liquids con t aining
alcohol through a process which in
volves the partial rotting of grain—
was practiced, if practiced at all, only
among barbaric people. None of the
civilized nations of antiquity used beer
and similar compounds.
Wine was the only intoxicant. There
are some good people who are really
troubled by the so-called "Biblical
argument for the use of wine, who
have gone to an infinite deal of trouble
to prove that the wine made by Jesus
at Caaa was the freshly-expressed
juice of the grape, before it had under
gone the alcoholic fermentation, and
therefore it was incajiableof producing
intoxication as the lrcsh juice of ap
ples—“sweet” cid»r. We do not think
it profitable to waste time on such a
trivial discussion. In point of fact, the
case is incapable of actual proof, one
way or the other. That intoxicating
Wine was known, is absolutely certain,
both from Bible passages and from
profane history; that non-intoxicating
—freshly-made—wine was also used as
a beverage, is equally clear. Who can
tell which it was?
And, after all, what does it really
matter which it was? There are many
passages ot Scripture which condemn
intoxication. Bear in mind these facts:
1. That wine was the only intoxicant
known;
2. lhat it was the pure juice of the
grape, generally diluted with water;
it was not “fortified” with cologne
spirits, nor drugged and doctored with
chemicals and coloring materials;
3. That drunkenness was bv no
means as prevalent among the Jews as
it is among all peoples to-day;
4. That wine, m-de in the simple
manner then followed, contains a very
small per cent, of alcohol, and that it
would require the drinking of a very
large quantity to produce inebriation.
Then read the following Scriptural
references to the evils of its misuse:
Proverbs xxxi, 4-5: It Is not for kings to drink
wine, * • lest they drink and forget the
law. • *
Judges xiii, 4: And, therefore, beware, I pray
thee, and drink not any wine. * »
Ephesians v, 18: And be not drunk with
wine. * *
Proverbs xxlii, 20-21: Be not among wine-bib
bers, • • for the drunkard and the glutton
shall oome to poverty.
First Corinthians v, 11: But now I have writ
ten unto you not to keep company * * or a
drunkard. • •
Isaiah xxvlii, it Woe to tha erownof pride, to
the drunkards of Ephraim. • *
Joel 1,5: Awake, ye drunkards, and weep;
and howl, all ye drinkers of wine.
First Corinthians vi, 10: Nor thieves, * •
nor drunkards, * * shall inherit the kingdom
of God.
Luke xxi, 84; And take heed to yourselves,
lest at any time your hearts be overcharged
with surfeiting and drunkenness. * *
Hornans xiii, 13: Let us walk honestly, as in
the day; not in rioting and drunkenness. * »
Galuliaus v, 10-21: Now the works of the Bosh
are manifest, which are these: * • » druuk
tuacss, reviliiigs, and such like. • •
Proverb* xx, 1? Wine 1* ■ morkrr; «tmn»
drink It raging*, and whosoever I* rieceires'
thereby le not wise.
Proverb# xxt, IT: He thet loveth wine and oC
abaM not be rich.
Proverbs xxlll, *»-»>: Who heth woe* Wh«
hath sorrow? Who heth contentions? ffht
hath babblings? Who hath wonnits without
cause? Who hath redness of eyes? They that
tarry long at the wine.
Proverbs xxlll, 81: Look not then upon ths
wine when It Is red.
Hoseaiv, 11: • • Wine, and new wine, takt
away the heart.
But, our friends argue flint tlie Script
ures do not prohibit the use of wine:
they only condemn its abuse. True; but,
taking the tenor of the injunctions foi
our guidance from Genesis to Revela
tions, and bearing in mind the limited
and slow means of intoxication of that
day with the limitless and rapid
means of the present with our deadly
whisky and kindred distilled drinks,
and answer us this question: If these
latter-day liquors, producing quick
drunkenness, had been then known,
is it not clear, from the tenor of the
Scriptures, that their use would have
been forbidden? The answer of every
thinking man must be in the allinnu
tive. The denunciations of prophet
and apostle would have rung out
against all who dared to touch these
life and soul destroying beverages,
and the sacred volume would have
bristled with commands to abstain en»
tirely.
Ivo man who n n ( hmtian at heart:
can cither drink himself or counte
nance the use of min by others. Re
membering that no man begins to
drink with the intention of becoming
a drunkard, but that the occasional
glass is taken until the habit Is so fixed
that it can not lie broken, ami drags
its victim down to poverty, death and
bell, he can not take the first step into
danger himself, nor permit Ids exam
ple to lead others into temptation.
It matters not whether Christ mado
wine by a miracle, nor whether He drank
it. It is notwine that makes the trouble
nowadays, but whisky. 1 bedevil never
had so potent a servant as rum has
been ever since tlie first whisky-still
was put into operation. It will not do
to countenance the use of rum, for tho
use as certainly leads to abuse as sin
leads to damnation. And every Chris
tian who tries to carry the "new coins
mandment" of our Saviour into Ids
daily life can do so if lie throws tho
weight of his influence into the effort
to pulverize the rum ] ower.—Toledo

RUSSIA'S GREAT FOE.
It Is Alcohol— An Isiting. ilcprit vlng,
ConA'itiilng line my, s«n<l Otic t sit il to
Mi* Power* of the People.
One of the leading journals of Rus
sia, the St. Petersburg Zt'itunq, lias a
remarkable article in advocacy of tho
abandonment of intoxicants, with cita
tions from a powerful pamphlet by l)r.
Bunge, a native Russian. From an
English translation by Joseph Matins
we quote the following telling words!
"So to-day, during the fas , we make
use of the favorable opportunity it af
fords 11s for a little preaching upon this
wide-spread source of misery; jirc.ioli
ing whose aim is to revive the crusade
against our national enemy—an enemy
which has been often preached about
and assailed, with insignificant results,
and lias never been overthrown. Wo
know of certain ideas in relation to
movements which are not unheard of
in public, but we do not at tills mo
ment join in that war-cry which lias
been so often beard that we are weary
ot it: ' I lio (ionium is tun foe! —a erv
which tile great Skobelotf once raised
with a powerful voice, and which his
petty imitators nr. so frequently re
peating in public and through the press.
No. we are brought to the conviction
that Russia’s great foe i< not the tier
man. It is alcohol which is the dan
gerous foe to Russia and to the Russian
nation—an enervating, depraving, con
suming foe, and one fatal to the best
powers of our people.
"We take the liehl then against
spirits, against alcohol in all its forms;
and we dud weapons for this struggle
in an excellent pamphlet of Dr. Bunge,
who is professor of physiological chem
istry at Basle, and is a countryman of
ours from Dorpat.
“Prof. Bunge first of all views al
cohol from the physiological stand
point. He shows that in the broader
sense alcohol is no means of nonrish
; meat; that the warmth arising from
the combustion of alcohol in tlie sys
tem of a drinker gives no living force,
for the increase of warmth on the olio
hand is neutralized by the increased
departure of warmth on the other hand.
The thermometer proves that alcohol
lessens the temperature of the body.
All the effects of brandy, which are
usually regarded as mere stimulation,
are really symptoms of both physical
and mental paralysis under the guise
of serenity and vivacity of mind. Tho
beginning of this brain-palsy at once
shows itself in hasty gesticulations
which are accompanied by an increased
pulse and quicker beating of the heart.
Under the influence of intoxicants the
man talks aimlessly; he gesticulates,
he waxes hot, and thus accelerates the
beating of the heart. The feeling of
weariness, which so often occasions
the desire for alcohol, is also paral
ysis.”
The paper then goes on to declare
more fully its settled campaign of hos
tility to the traffic and use of alcoholic
liquors. The utterance is significant
of a grand onward step in a country
where Temperance doctrines have
heretofore had scarcely a foothold or a
hearing. The verdict of travelers in
Russia bears out the sweeping asser
tions of this journal as to the fearful
ravages of intoxicants among all
classes there. May this voice, crying
in the wilderness, awaken many an
echo! What if Tolstoi should write a
novel that would work for the slaves
of alcohol in that land what “Uncle
Tom’s Cabin ” did in this country!

Shall Women Ho Allowed to Vote?
The question of female suffrage has agi
tated the tongues and pens of reformers for
many years, and good arguments have been
adduced for and against it. Many of the
softer sex could vote intelligently, and many
would vote as their husbands did, and give
no thought to the merits of a political issue.
They would all vote for Mr. Pierce’s Favor
ite Prescription, for they know it is a boon
to their sex. It is unequaled for the cure
of leueorrhea. abnormal discharges, morn
ing sickness, and the countless ills to which
women are subject. It is tho only remedy
for woman's peculiar weaknesses and ail
ments, sold by druggists under a positive
guarantee from the manufacturers, that it
will give satisfaction in every case, or mon

NOT ALWAYS NECESSARY TO SEE PATIENTS.
By our original system of diagnosis, we can treat many chronic
diseases Just as successfully without as with a personal con
sultation. While wc are always glad to see our patients, and
become acquainted with them, show them our institutions, and
familiarize them with our system of treatment, yet we have not
seen one person in live hundred whom we have cured. The per
fect accuracy with which scientists are enablisi to deduce the
most minuto particulars in their several departments, appears
almost miraculous, if we view it in the light of the early ages.
Take, for example, the electro-magnetic telegraph, the greatest
Invention of tho age. If it not a marvelous degree of accuracy
which enables an operator to exactly locate a fracturo in a sub
inarine cable nearly three thousand miles long? Our venerable
“clerk of the weather " has become so thoroughly familiar with
tho most wayward elements of nature that he can accurately
predict their movements, ile can sit in Washington and foretell
what tho weather will be in Florida or New York as well as if
several hundred miles did not intervene between him and tho
places named. And so iu all departments of modern science,
^ I what is required is the knowledge of certain
giyus. From these scientists deduce accurate con
clusions regardless of distance. So, also. In medi
cal science, diseases havo certain unmistakable
signs, or symptoms, and by reason of this fact, wo
have been enabled to originate and perfect a sys
- tem of determining, with the greatest accuracy,
the naturo of clu-onio diseases, without seeing and personally
examining our patients. In recognizing disease* without s
personal examination of the patient, wc claim to p*>hkcsh no
iniraeutous powers. Wo obtain our knowledge* of the patient's
disease by the practical application, to tiic practical of meUi*
cmc. of well-c*stablished principle s of modern science. And it
is to the* accuracy with which this system has e ndowed us teat
we* owe our almost, world-wide reputation of skillfully treating
lingering or chronic affections. Thi3 system of practice, gnu
the marvelous success which ha* bee*n attained
fiiiOjri nno through it, demonstrate the fact that diseases
mfinitLUUd display certain phenomena, which, living sub
Otinoroo jeco et to scientific analysis, furnish abundant
OUul'CoO. and unmistakable* data, to guide the' judgment

llinriara In on pronounced beyond hope. These diseases are
DISEASES. readily diagnosticated, or determined, by chemical
analysis ot the urine, without a personal examina
tion of patients, ivlio can, therefore, generally be
successfully treated at their homes. The study and
practice of chemical analysis and microscopical examination of
the urine in our consideration of cases, with reference to correct
diagnosis, in which our institution long ago became famous, has
naturally led 10 a very extensn e practice in diseases of the urinary
organs. Probably no other institution in the world lias been so
largely patronized by suffers Irom this class of maladies as the old
and world-famed World's Dispensary and Invalids' Hotel. Our
specialists have acquired, through a vast and varied experience,
great exjiertness m determining the tract nature of each case,
and, hence, have been successful in nicely adapting their remedies
for the cure of each individual case.
These delicate diseases should lie carefully treated
by a specialist thoroughly familiar with them, and
who is competent to ascertain the exact condition
ami stage of advancement which the diseuse has
made (which can only lie ascertained by a careful chemical and
microscopical examination of the urine ), for medicines which are
curative In one stage or condition arc known to do positive injury
in others. We havo never, therefore, attempted to put up anything
for general sale through druggists, recommending to cure these
diseases, although possessing very superior remedies, knowing full
well from an extensive experience that the only safe and success
ful course is to carefully determine the disease and its progress in
each case by a chemical and microscopical examination of the
urine, and then adapt our medicines to the exact stage of the dis
ease and condition of our patient.
To this wise course of action we attribute the
WONDERFUL marvelous success attained by our specialists in
uunukni uk that important and extensive Department of our
Ci|nnroe institutions devoted exclusively to the treatment
OUUuvOO. of diseases of the kidneys and bladder. The treat

To those acquainted with our institutions, it is hardly necessary
to say that the Invalids' Hotel and bingieal Institute, with the
branch establishment located at No. 3 New Oxford btreet, London,
England, have, for many years, enjoyed the distinction of being
the most largely patronized and widely celebrated institutions in
the world for the treatment and cure of those affections which
arise from youthful indiscretions and pernicious, solitary practices.
We, many years ago, established a special Department for the
treatment of these diseases, under the management of some of
the most skillful physicians and surgeons on our Staff, in order
that all who apply to us might receive all the advantages of a full
Council of the most experienced specialists.
We offer no apology for devoting so much
attention to this neglected eluss of diseases,
believing no condition of humanity is too
wretched to merit the sympathy and best
services of the noble profession to which we
belong. Many who suffer from these terrible
diseases contract them innocently. Why any medical man. Intent
on doing good and alleviating suffering, should shun such eases,
we cannot imagine. Why any one should consider it otherwise
than most honorable to cine the worst eases of these disease#,
we cannot understand; and yet of all the other maladies which
afflict mankind there is probably none about which physicians in
general practice kuow so little. We shall, therefore, continue, as
heretofore, to treat with our best consideration, sympathy, and skill,
all applicants who are suffering from any of these delicate diseases.
Pnnrn it Unur Most of these cases can be treated when at a
UUHLU AI flUmt. distance Just as well as if here in person.

cents, in stamps, for postage.
Hundreds of the most difficult operations known
uURGlCAL modern surgery are annually performed in the
most skillful manner, by our burgeon-special

out, thus avoiding the greut danger of cutting.
Our specialists, remove cataract from the eye, t hereby curiAg blind

when needed. Many Ovarian and also Fibroid Tumors of the
U terns are arrested in growth and cured by elect roly sis. coupled
with other means of our invention, whereby the great danger of
cutting operations In these cases is avoided.
Especially has the success of our improved operations for Vari
cocele, Hydrocele, Fistulas Ruptured Cervix Uteri, and for Rup
tured Perineum, been alike gratifying both to ourselves and our
patients. Not less so have been the results of numerous operations
for btricture of the Cervical ( anal, a condition in the female gen
erally resulting in Barrenness, or Sterility, and the cure of which,
by a safe and painless operation, removes this commonest of Im
pediments to tne bearing of offspring.
A Complete Trentise on any one of the above maladies will be
