Friends and neighbors-Haying |

the sale of liquid fire, take this early
opportunity of informing you that on
Saturday next, shall commence the
business of making drunkards, pau
pers and beggers; for the sober, in
dustrious and respectable portion of
the community to support.
l shall deal in 'tamiiiar spirits"
which will excite men to deeds of riot,
robbery and bloodshed; and by so
doing diminish the comforts, augment
| the expenses, and endanger the vel
fare of the whole community.
l will undertake, at short notice, for
a small sum, and with the greatest ex-
petition, to prepare victims for the
Asylum, the Poorhouse, the Prison
and the Gallows.
I will furnish an article that will in
crease the amount of fatal accidents,
multiply the number of distressing
diseases in the land, and render those
that are comparatively harmless, incn
rable
will deal in drugs which will de
prive some Of life, some of reason,
most of property, and all of peace; /;
which will cause fathers to be tiends,
wives, widows, children, orphans; and
all, mendicants.

grow up in ignorance, and. prove a
burde and nuisance to the nation.
will cause mothers to forget their
sucking infants; virgins, their virtue
and priceless innocence.

ligion, obstruct the progress of the
gospel, defile the purity of the Church,
and cause temporal, spiritual and eter-
