    PREFATORY NOTE. rT'HE Committee of the National Temperance League feel grateful JL for the privilege of being permitted to publish the accompany¬ ing letters and papers, which were read at a Conference recently convened by them in the City Terminus Hotel, Cannon Street. The Conference was attended by a large body of the leading, promoters of the Temperance Movement, as well as by medical practitioners from different parts of the country, and the pro¬ ceedings were well fitted to encourage those who are striving to diffuse correct information regarding the nature and effects of intoxicating liquors, and the value of total abstinence as a means of promoting health and longevity. The Committee are of opinion th it the valuable contributions of their medical friends should not be confined to those who attended the Conference, and they have therefore great pleasure in being the medium of placing in the hands of the public a mass of evidence in favour of the Temperance Movement, which they believe to be well worthy of a careful and thoughtful perusal. 337, Strand, 1st July, 1869.
