Not long aince. one of the wealthiest wholesale liquor dealers in eastern Indiana arranged with a prominent life insuranee company to take out a policy for two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, partly for the benefit of an institution he wished to endow at his death. The papers were made out, but on going to e examined as to his physical condition. he was unable to pass, the examining surgeon announcing that he had heart disease, and his life was very uncertain. Frightened, as wellas indignant, he went to the board of examiners in New York. whichalso announued to him that he had organic disease of the heart to that extent that its action might erase at any time. They prenounced the real cause of the trouble to be the fact that he had heen the habit of drinking beer. Of course the life insuranoe company would take no risk where there was such an uncertain tenure of existence. Actual fact proved by the light of science, shows that lager beer is not food; for there are nonutritive elements in it. Instead of being the sustainer of life, it saps at the foundation of all vital forcé. Instead of promoting heat in the human body, it lowers the temperature of its victums until they are far more susceptible to cold, even to death, than healthy bodies free from all alcoholic taint. Instead of imparting strength, iteimply produces a temporary fictitiou8 vigor by spurring the heart and nervous system to unusual effort, whichis invariably followed by poportionate exhaustion that weakens those functions to a degree that will produce premature decay and death. Thus givïng neither heat, force or sustenance to the human tystem, lager heer is shown by seience to be a 'living" beer in every claim it makes to this effort. Some of the creditors of the defunct Michigan Mortgage Co., of St Johns, which company was wrecked by S. S. Walker, have brought suit to recover upon a mortgage which it is claimed was paid twice. Suit is now brought against all tho stockholders in the company which includes Profs. A. H. Pattengill, H. M. DOoge, and Wm. H. Pettee. _ Doctor D. A.
