Continuation of Dr. RuCh's Inquiry into tie
EffeCti of Spirituous Liquors, &c.
" I HAVE only named a few of the principal
disorders which are produced by " Spirituous Liquors.
It would take up a volume to describe how much
ther disorders natural to the human body, are in,
^cafed and complicated by them. Every ipecics of
flammatory and putrid fever, is rendered more fre
,„ nt and more dangerous by the use of spirituous
quors. The danger to life from the diseases which
have been mentioned is well known. Ido not think
,c extravagant therefore, to repeat here, what has been
often said, that Spirituous Liquors destroy more lives
than the sword. War has its intervals of deftrt&on
—but spirits operate at all times and feaions upon
human life The ravages of war are confined to
but one part of th^humau species, viz, to men ; but
spirits act too often upon performs who are exempted
from the dangers of war by age or sex; and laff!y,war
deftroysonly those who allow the use cf arm, to be
lawful, whereas spirits insinuate their fatal effects a
mong people, whose principles are opposed to the
.ffufion of hun;an blood.
" But the effects of ardent spirits upon the human
body, do hot end io the deftrudtion of life. They de
ange, and even deform a dead body, so as to render it
t loathsome addition to the clay which conceals it
lorn human view after death. This has been fre
cr.tly demonstrated in the diffeaion of perlons who
ive been destroyed by tie use of ardent spirits.
