mask. One takes a littlo 10 raise his des-
pondlng spirits, or to drown his sorrow
another to sharpen his appetite or relieve
his dyspepsia ;Onc 10 ease his gouty pains,
another to su pie his stlhcncd limbs or
calm his quiycrlng muscles. One drinks
to overcome the heat, another to ward OIL
the cold; and all this is a medicine. Ap-
peal, then, to the medical profession, and
they will tell You, every independent, hon
est, sober, intelligent member Of it will
tell you, that there is no case in which
ardent spirit is Indispensable, and for
which there is not an adequate substi-
tute. And it is time the profession should
have an opportunity to cXoneraie itself
from the charge, under which it has long

imitation of all. They have long pro-
hibitcd both the traffic and consump-
ton Of ardent spirit in their socicty-and
what is the consequence? They are dis
tinguishcd over all the world for their So
briefly, exemplary morals, and thrive
in business They have clearly proved
also, that there is far less difficulty in
maintaining rigid discipline, in the en-
tire exclusion of ardent spirit, than in en-
forcing loose one in regulating the con-
duct Of those who have already become
Incorporate.
Much may be done by guarding the
rising generation from the contagion Of
intemperance.
1t is especially with the children and
youth of our land, that we may expect
our eilorts to be permanently useful
Only let them once contract love Tor
ardent spirit, and you may as well expect
to turn the current OF the Mississippi to
the north, as to eNtInguIsh 1t. II you can
not stop them in the beginning you can
not stop them at all. \ on cannot con-
