98 rSE AND ABUSiE OF ALCOnOt. Sharp & Dohme, of Baltimore, the well-known pharmaoeu.tical chemists, are now manufacturing an article of pepsin equal to the best known heretofore, and at a price that places it within the reach of every one. Send for a sample. 'I'hey iire rct'choed in tlio senseless scroamings of insanity ; and they come to us in a voice of terrible significance from the land of shadows and tragedies�be wary, be wary in prescribing alcoholic liquor as a remedial agent. To heal the sick, or to drive back the shadow of Azrael from the couch of human suffering is nolile ami divine ; but to save a man from habits that degrade him in this world aud to destroy him in the world to come, is God-like and sublime, and worthily entitle the generous doctor to his place in a niche side by side with, not a Howard or a Nightingale, but a Wesley, a Fletcher, a Whitfield and a ?>axter. Therefore, gentlemen, in exhibiting this agent, not only should we exercise the most unlimited hesitancy in protracting its administration, and not only should we never fail to acquaint ourselves with the heredity of our patient as well as his past luibits ; but since temperance organizations, idiilanthropic associations ami good men generally are making such persistent efforts to stay the progress of the fell-destroyer and iirrest its ravages, the time has come when medical men who are its natural guardians should cast in their lot with these noble crusaders, and at all times and under all circumstances give them the weight of their professional authority and inlluence ; and since alcohol has passed into the hands of those who are not only totally ignorant of, but cul])ably indifferent io its pois onous projierties, and since it is impossible that we can ever secure an undivided control over it, we owe it to ourselves, we owe it to Christianity, and we owe it to bleeding, suffering humanity to, at leant, be the first in denouncing its improper use, and the loudest in pointing out the perilous reefs and dangerous head-lands that underlie its foamiuir breakers.
