At the Convention of the Young Mems
Christian Association. held in Worces-
ter. Mass, recently. Professor Edward
Hitchcock. of Amherst College went IN
to a physiological and scientific expla-
nation of the effect of alcoholic and mar
cotlc stimulants on the human system,
to show the necessity of total abstinence
as the only remedy for intemperance.
He said alcoholic drinks stimulate at first,
but afterwards serve as narcotic mar
cotic means paralysis, or partial death.
Tobacco is narcotic in its effect from
the first, and its use should he Stunned.
But the greatest injury caused by the
use of rum and tobacco is the paralysis
of the moral sensibilities. inducing NOR
al death, or the destruction of the soul.
This is the inevitable result of all such
indulgences in the end. The mills of
God grind slow, but sure. The use of
tobacco leads almost inevitably to
thirst of alcoholic stimulants to excite
the system. partially deadened by the
narcotic effects Of tobacco. The two
habits are physiological twins. Tobacco
paralyzes and soothes, like opium, and
soon rum or whiskey is wanted to excite
and warm up the victim to the former
habit. Professor Hitchcock said it had
been ascertained that 600 out of 700
conviets in the New York prisons were
victims of intemperance, and that 500
of them learned to drink by the use of
tobacco. Tobacco is a depresser. 1t
don't fortifiy; it takes the snap out of a
man, and soon something stronger is
needed to excite up his energies. If We
want to build up and strengthen the
system we give man plenty of beef.
eggs, milk, etc. The Professor enlarged
upon the debasing effect of these mar
cotic and alcoholic indulgences on the
human system. and especially upon the
moral and religious nature, lowering and
deadening it, and closed by an earnest
appeal to all Christians to use every in
strumentality. personal, social and re-
ligicus. to restrain the youth of the COM
ing generations from coming into these
vicious indulgences.
