Quarantine Against Whisky

A TEMPERANCE reformer of prominence in Washington makes the yellow fever scourge a basis for a temperance argument. He finds that the total deaths from yellow fever in the United States for the past ten years is only 21,000. In the same time, according to a careful and probably reasonable computation, 650,000 men have died from intemperance, or at the rate of 65,000 annually. This gentleman proposes to quarantine against whisky as a more destructive destroyer than yellow-jack.—Darlington Southerner.
