To. he Editor Of The Ameriean:-

To. the Editor Of the Amsricaa:-
In your last issue read an article on
gluttony by retired physician. who asks,
chow does 1t happen that amid the ever
lasting cry against drunkenness We never
hear a word against its sister evil glut-
tony"
As l have often heard that question
asked by those who would defend drunk
enncss, | ask your permission TO reply TO
that question through the medium Of your
paper,
No one will deny that gluttony Is an evil,
that most people eat a third more food
than Is Necessary TO sustain life. aud con-
sequently become diseased and die prema-
suffers most. with drunkenness the iano-
ofnf suffer ten fold more than the guilty.
Ask the wife and mother who watches
night after night for the return Of drunk
en- husband or son. If the blow and curse
she will receive, will be the result of giut-
tony or the last glass OF whisky? Are
the fifty paupers that the hard ,corking
people Of this city are taxed to support,
the result Of orer eating or the legitimate
fruit of the rum shops that curse this
town. Read the Police reports OF any city.
Is the record of crime the product Of an
overloaded stomach or brains maddened
with rumI II is stated by good authority
that three-quarters of the crime committed
in this country are by persons under the
influence of intoxicating liquors. The
glutton may gorge himself and die like .
beast. but the drunk nd Is a curse and
disgrace to his family while he lives, and
after he dies his example and memory will
cause blight on his posterity yet unborn.
Gluttony compared with intemperance a.
an erR, is as sting of a mosquito to the
bite of rattle snake. The wall Of anguish
that is heard about intemperance is the
cry Of helpless women and children. the
victims of the drunkard. The everlasting
cry against Drunkenness" is the voice of
God calling on our rulers to sdre our
country from the curse OF intemperance.
There are two class of persons in every
community who are responsible for the
drunkenness with which We are surround
ed, the first are those who would find ex-
cuse for the use and traffic in Intoxicating
liquors. and the second are those who be.
lieve In social glass, and think wine and
champagne Indispensable at social gather
ings.
