 These facts exist where according to the opinions hitherto enterainej there Is lills nIemperance Among respectable and useful men, as we have been accustomed to consider them, all these phenomena have been long observed Yet very few, at least , recently, have thing wrong in the cause of these resuls and still fewer have seriously ener sained t.e purpose Of curing them by general and total abstinence frum fermenled liquOrs.
 Il is also among wine drinkers, that dyspepsia and other diseases Of the stomach o0Gd 10 be aggrava ted, and generally neuFahes atIeass long as the Of the liquor is persisted in. Their nerves are dis ordered by it. and tho clear exercise of their reason disturbed. Doctor James Johnson mentions the case of gentleman who uniformly, not long after dinner, was affected by agi,aioas of nerves acting upon his mental powers that he aiaysdireclsd his servants to tie his haods, lest he should destroy himsc His physician prevailed hi 10 omit the wine which he drank with hs dinner.

 1.-the facts which have been stated do not show that wine is poison, I know not how it caa be proved that poison exists. Taken in large quantities, h re- duces man to state of insensibiIity, as # he had Iallen iH fit. It produces nausea, and vomiting, when less copiOusly taken. Dminish the quantity still fsriher and the effect oGshe wine is agitation or the nerves and inability walk or to speak correcsly attended with derangemeat of the mental powers- Diminish it further yetaudi invadss the tuition affects with ssslIing ahe exWsmies; prodsces hor. rie gripping pains and twinges; increases the abili. v 10 levers, and when they do occnr aggrava,es their severity, and takes away at strength of constitution which might resist them makes every disease less curabLe and more certainly fa,ali subjects mea to sudden and premature dcaih, and snhasces every evil that flesh is heir to.

 To me appears certain that had wine been called by its psOper name, name that might have iadeased its cfec's s would have been thought not only dan- geroas, but snal,o use it. But the name has effected the deception; people cali it cordial cure for the coaHOn ills of life, social iqnor, aud ho,'ipg can coavince them that t onght nolie be used. Thus has one gensraties after aDcshergone fallen under wine and s,rsng drink; and aao.her, and anoher genera Iion come, oniy to ialt aaa perish prematsrely and mlserahy. iaS she sane way.
