Indiana American. [volume] (Brookville, Ind.) 1833-1861, 1854-06-30

with connected. By DR.. w. Ma
CURE.
The above is the title of work Of
some 40 or 5opages, now in press, and
which will be ready for circulation
about the 18th Of July.
We have had some opportunity of
reading the temperance productions,o of
the day, and we hesitate not to say
that, in our opinion, this work is pre-
eminently worthy of circulation at this
time. 1t meets the objections to pro-
hibition in popular manner. DR..
MAeuIRE is good writer, and a tai
ented man. His style of writing is
ornate and beautiful-perhaps too
mucl. so for an argument alive work.
1t reminds the reader of the style Of
Hon. s. w. PARKER.
We take the liberty of making the
following quotation from it, not to sat
isfy but to whet the appetite of tenn
perance men. We hope the DR.. will
find ready sale for them. Let orders
be sent in immediat ely:
"Intemperance is disease-one of
the most fatal and filthy; and at the
same time one of the most common
and general that ever made human VIC
tins its prey. In comparison with it
the yellow fever of the South, the
dread cholera of Asia, the loathsome
small pox and the CHASTITY consump-
ton, all lose their terrors. Intemper-
ance is a disease as well defined in
its stages as anyssother; as difficult to
cure as any other, and far more to be
dreaded than any mere physical mala-
dy, from the fact that it is capable oil
destroying both soul and body forev-
err. 1t is compound disease, of Pro-
team forms, and effects its victims diff
ferently, according to their different
temperaments, or constitutional pecu-
liarities; and not unfrequently, it ef.
fects the same individual in thousand
different ways during the course Of
the same malady. 1t is a disease
that, sometimes, runs its course in a
short time, sometimes it is slow and
lingering; but it matters not how quick
and violent, or how slow and lingering
its course may be, it never fails to be
attended by the horrible train Of woe:
and sorrows, babblings and contention:
Of those who suffer the serpents bite
and the adder's sting. OF the bite o.
that serpent and the sting of that ad.
derl Sir, their horrible effects defy
conception and battle all description OF
the part Of those who have never ex
perienced them. All thatwe may i'm
agine of mere physical diseases tina
are horrible and repulsive--all tina
we can conceive of disgusting small
Fox; loathsome leprosy; putrid fe
vers; noisome ulcers; suppuratin,
sores; green and gangrenous flesh snC
bones, will convey to the mind but 1
very imperfect idea Of the most mis-
cradle sense of Indebtedness ant
loathing that is felt by the unfortunat,
inebriate, when every sense has beer
stepped in the poisonous fumes of al
cohol, and every organ of the bod,
washed and yitiated in the Stygial
waters of the broad streams of dealt
which flow from out the dingy furna
ces of hell.
The diseases / have named may b
confined to certain climate, or coun
try, and, after raging for time, wi
cease their work of desolation an
death, aud let the world rest for
season. Mott so with Intemperanc,
1t is confined to no locality, and
never ceases; but, like death, all coun
tries, all seasons, all ages, and a
classes are its own-for the grii
monster has placed il beyond the pow
er, or possibilityIofever being success

The old and young; the strong an
the weak; the rich and the poor; ii
, learned and the unlearned; the sail
: and the sinner; the wise man and Il
a fool, fall down at the blood-stained a
tar of the great Moloch Of RUM. M
can genius or talent, exalted positiC
. or place of power, titled nobility
n imperial royalty, boast of exemptiC
: or safety from it.
i Yet, desolating and terrible as a
q its ravages on mans physical organ
cation, they are trifing in comparisC
with its moral effects. Well has Il
u celebrated DR.. Beecher said, "it
a the moral ruin it works within, tn
S entities Intemperance to the demon
nation Of giant wickedness." A
;, sense of mine and thine; Of right al
of wrong; all sense of moral oblig
n tons with hisfellow men, or account
bility to God, and dread of his il
judgments are obliterated; all honor

,e ceived the awful mittimus, "Deps
