the old wife poisoned it with camo-
mile and quininc; the young man
emptied into it enough soda and
potash to convert him into SOAP
hard soap or soft soap, according to
the alkali he effects, in order to con-
vince the world of his manliness;
the young lady doscd it with vinegar,
to try to make her gcnteel; the poor
man stuffed it with under-cooked
bread hot from the bakers oven,
and with overlooked beef boiled
half-a-dozcn years ago; the rich
man crammcd it with oysters, mites,
and jumpers, all alive and kicking,
and game so far gone with putre-
faction that pig would turn up its
nose at it; and, if the poor stom-
ach rebelled under this extraordi-
nary treatment, every villainous
abomination invented or discovered
from the creation till now was pour
ed into it, and everything nauseous
and disgusting that could be heard
or thought of was swallowed with
the insane idea of putting it right
exactly on the same principle that
induced the pigwife to thrash her
donkey because it was already so
weak with abuse that it could not
draw its load. About the drunk
ards stomach well, the drunkard
seemed to ignore the existence or
possession of one. He seemed con-
scious merely of having Il thrap-
Plea sort of bottomlcss pit for
throwing whislley into-possibly con-
sidering bottomless pit an appro-
pirate receptacle for what had been
described as ''liquid hell tire'-one
of the blessings of Providence
when properly applied, but one of
the greatest curses when not kept in
its proper place, But what was its
proper place! When he himself was
Il young man, and manufacturer of
alcohol, he put that question to q
Hindoo priest, whose reply was,
"Inside of a bottle;" and there, at
all events, it was pretty harmless.
But the drunkard had stomach,
and it should, the lecturer went on,
be his object to show what it was
like under liberal application of al
cohol from table. beer to brandy, or,
to call things by their proper names,
with potato whiskey, colored with
burned sugar and favored with
brandy fusil. At this point the screen
was made to show the stomach in it's
normal condition, and again u repre-
sentation was given of the bloodshot
stomach, the stomach of the moder-
ate drinker, the man who took his
grog daily, but moderately, who
supped his wine with his meals. The
blood vessels of this stomach were
enlarged and distended, and the red
patches apparent might be either in
hamation or the stains of alIanat
logwood, from which they might
conclude that the wine he drank was
port, so called: that the subject had
drunk it while his stomach was
empty, and that he had "lliclled the
bucket almost Immediately after.
No. slide represented the habitual
drunkard's stomach, which besides Il
development of the former appear
ances, showed several blue spots
like the grog blossoms sometimes
on the drunllard's nose. No. / was
IN advanced stage of the same bust
ness corroded with ulcers. No. 8
was taken from the stomach of Il
man who died suddenly after being
on the spree for several days, and
exhibited a high degree of intiam-
nation. No. 6 was the cancerous
stomach of an excessive drinker, Il
sea captain, and an habitual imbi-
Der of undiluted spirits. The "blue
stains might be supposed to repre-
sent the blue ruin he drank" after
he found that he was affected by
cancer. No. Z might be supposed
to represent the stomach of the man
who drank ''fne old Irish whiskey-
fifteen years in bond" though pro-
badly not out of the still for MS many
days, colored Il fine rich yellow by
being kept in sherry cask all the
the time, which, being interpreted,
would mean that it had quantity of
burned sugar added to it; the real
stingo, warranted to peel the skin all
the way down--a result Which seem
ed to have been produced in the pre-
sent case. In some parts of the
country this "rale Irish" was Il great
