Farewell. for ne your occupation gomez
Henceforth I'm jew. I've long beer
leaning that way, and now have seer
the last bristle that breaks the gruntei's

long believed that the Jews both in ancient
aud modern times had good reason fol
lforswearing swine's flesh. There are sew
eral diseases am told, which is prevalent
.among Christians that Jews seldom have.
l heard of diseases among swine, in Cali
fornia that are too disgusting and horrible
for human ears. Butchers in New York
say half the hogs they slaughter have the
consumption. | heafd physician say he
had often examined the lungs of swine in
the seamless and found them full of tub
ercles! [ heard another doctor say he got
fine looking ham for his own use, had it
boiled, and when on the table he discover
ed that it was studied with tubeclea! |
know consumption and scrofula are far less
prevalent among Jews than among Chris
tians Swine, as we'll as cows, that are
kept in stables and pens, and fed on still

running at large in green fields. Though
starting at the west, the "hog cholera" has
broken out. at the east. And see all the
ramifications of this vile poison, Strych-
nine, juice of tobacco, and vitriol, are used
in distilling whiskey from corn, and the
illogs fed on the still slops, run mad and
die. Loads Of hogs smothered in railroad
cars, Oh reaching Albany, are sold; very
likely many of these die Of the still poison,
and .hese dead and diseased animals that
were never slaughtered, but die !, are sold
to Spectators, and taken to New York land
there unquestionably sold for human food
No doubt of it. These carcasses are prob
ably served up as "Ohio sugar cured
hams1' And this is only the commence
ment of it. The lard (greaseD is sold in
The market, and much Of that lard is mixed
with hntter to adulterate that Then
thousands and thous ,nds of barrels of lard
oil-the tried out grease from poisoned
hogs-goes to Europe, to Bordeaux and
Marseilles. and is there made over into
'.pure olive oil" and comes back to us
Yankees again, The poisoned choice is
returned to our lips.
But the worst of it is the vile concoc-
tors are too shrewd to swallow their own
poison, and innocent people get it. 1t is a
nauseous subject, but now my hand is in |
j, tell all the horrible features of il that
know. This swin's flesh appearing in SC
ms ny shapes where people do not dream
Of it, is some like case Of poisoning that
occurred in England. The poisonous arti-
kcle took two journeys and then got into
human food, and destroyed life. [ for

), Of coloring matter like red lead. That was
first used to adulterate some substance not
, used for food and in turn that was used
to adulterate Cayenne pepper, and the
the red pepper killed. Each adulterel
worked independently of the other, and by
the combined action of the two a person
was poisoned.
And there's the whiskey. Tobacco
Juice, vitrol, and stry chime; enough Of the
one article Of vitrol in a quart of whiskey,
Dr.. Emerson the chemest says to burn a
hole in mans stomach. 1t makes me
think of the shark that followed a ship,and
got to catching chunks of pork that were
thrown over to him. Finally they heated
a four pound shot to white heat, threw

stopped but dropped into the unfortunate
fiish's mouth, and went right through his
stomach! 1t gave him a warm reception.
This may serve as warning to all who
drink whiskey.
Much of this strychnine whiskey goes to

phat, what splendid lake this stuff would
make to roast and boil and burn and bake
! a lot of these sinners In.
Then our sherry is carried in PIG skin
. in Spain, and our champagne is bedeyilsd
and drugged, and our Scotch whiskey is
made of this western blue ruin and kreo-
sote. and our ale and beer is brewed from
impure ponds, and the fear next, is, that
the Chinese will poison our tea | heard
an eminent physician in Boston say that

how many denominations grow out OF thu
