"need A Traveller Drink Wine?"

This is tho title of a little pamphlet just issued by the Rev. J. T. Sunderland, and iu answering the quostion he says: "There is a widespread imprcssion that it is not safe to travel in Europe, and especially in Oriental lands, without discarding mainly or wholly the use of water, fop drinkiog purposes, and substituting in its piace wine, beer, or some form of liquor. Is this impression Well founded? Having reeen tly returned from a year of somewhat extended travel, in which I have done soma experimenting and a good deal of obser ving, with a view to fniding out the truth in this matter, it may not be without service to some if I state briofly the rcsults ot my experience and observation. When starting out I determined to avoid liquors if possible but to use them if it really seemed necessary to my health. Of course, in Etigland there was no occasion to take to the use of wine or beer for fear of the water; for evcry one agrees that the water supply of Englacd gcnerally is quite as pure and safe as our own. The pressure to makethe change realiy began when I reached the Continent. Here nearly everybody took wire or sotne other kind of intoxicant or somiintoxicant, but I contcs3 to some eurprise in flnding that Continental cities, as a rule, are supplied with quite as good water as English citie3, and cortainly as gootl as Amorioan cities. Going to Italy, I had more fear but found that every Italian city of importance had its water supply carcfully guarded, aud usually brought frora sjme far-away, clear, bright lake, or mountainborn streain. ín Qreece tha situation is essentially the same as in Italy and there f ceras to be no good ground for avoiding the water. When I reached Egypt I found rcasons for tnuch increaseí caution, partly because there was some cholera iu tlie land. Yet in most of the places to which the traveller is likely to go, even in Egypt, the water is good. The Nile. from which Egypt gets its water for all purposes, is one of the purest and most wholesome sources of water supply in the world. It was in Palestine that I found most difficulty, though even here the dilllculty wa3 less than I had been led to expeet. There was need of constant care, but with care we were able to obtain good water in abundanec neaily whcre. When the water socmed dangerous wo found it best to use tbat wuioh had been bolled and could always get this as tea and eofïee. So we went through all our travels without usingintoxicants and without a day's scnous illnesa on the part of any of us. I went through mine, including my threemonths in Tndia, without the loss of a moal or any disturbancc of digestión requirin; oven the slightettt medicine. On the other hand, our travelling companions who made f ree use of liquors wero al most constantly complaining, and in a number of cases were seriously UI. Durinn; our trip on horseback througb alestine, whero the strain was most overe, and our water supply tho poorst, tho three or four total abstainers n our party of nhieteon srot aloDg fuetter than the others. Of those who ook a Httle wine or whlskey or brandy ach day or caeh uieal to "keep thom veil" or to "make tho water safe," carly cvery one was attaoked with a ersisteut, and in a number of cases a evere, liowol trouble. Of the abstainï'S, only one was troubled at all, and hat one only very slightly.
