There are two strong reasons why human
beings should not drink strong drinks The
hrSt is that man was SO created as to derive heat
from the continual struggle between the car
bon in the food he eats and the oxygen in the
air he brenthes He needs no other stinuIent.
Ladies can live without artificial stimulenrs.
Why cannot men2 The second reason is that
If 1t was right to drink pure driuks, it is Ger
tsinly wrong to drink the poisoned drinks that
are now sold everywhere 1t is not necessary
to inquire who poisons these drinks-whether
it is the manufacturer, the Wholesale dealer or
the retail gill vendor 1t is enough to know
that every drink one buys has more or less poi
son in it, and some has enough in it to kill
and some of it DoTs kill If person stops at
a hotel and asks for something to cat, he would
expect that the victual, he pays for weuld not
be poisoned. Why, then. should the public
submit to poisoned drinksr There should he
CLINICAL inspect0rs'aDpointed to analyze sam
pies OF all the liquor that is offered for sale
and those no sell poisoned drinks should for
felt their licenses. If this done this thing
OF making three barrels out OF one would cease.
