of the Medical Department of the University of Chicago.

"My connection with large medical institutions for many years
past has given me, I think, an excellent opportunity to observe
the effect of beer-drinking and the use of other alcoholic
liquors in many cases. I can say as a result of my own
observation that beer-drinking has a very pernicious effect upon
nearly every organ of the body. It produces disease of the
stomach and digestive tract, of the heart and circulating
system, of the kidneys and liver, and of the nervous system. In
addition to this it lessens the vigor and vital resistance of
the whole body, makes the beer drinker very much more
susceptible to infection such as pneumonia, and other acute
infections, and also lessens his ability to recover from
illnesses of any kind. An untold amount of misery and disease
would be avoided if the use of beer and other intoxicating
liquors could be wiped off the face of the earth."--DR. W. H.
RILEY, Battle Creek Sanitarium, Battle Creek, Mich.

In the report of Bellevue Hospital, New York City, for 1904, Dr.
Alexander Lambert, in speaking of delirium tremens, says: "The
delirium tremens from beer does not come on so readily as that
from whisky, but is slower in clearing up." Page 138 of report.

"Apart from its toxic effect it is seldom realized how harmful
beer may be by promoting obesity, and, in susceptible persons,
favoring dilatation of the stomach."--DR. E. P. JOSLIN,
Professor in Harvard Medical School.

"It is not the concentrated alcoholic liquors alone that cause
heart and kidney trouble but pre-eminently the continued
immoderate use of beer. Nothing is more false than the belief
that the progressive dislodgement of other alcoholic drinks by
beer will diminish the destructive influences of alcoholism. * *
* It has been conclusively established by thousandfold
experiments that soldiers in all climates, in heat, cold and
rain, endure best the most fatiguing marches when they are
absolutely deprived of alcoholic drinks."--PROF. G. VON BUNGE,
M. D., Basle, Switzerland.

"Beer, wine and spirits furnish no element capable of entering
into the composition of blood, muscular fibre, or anything which
is the seat of vital principle. If a man drinks dail
