Science to-da teaches that alcohol -
not only Lot 4 food. but a poison.
When we say a "A is intoxicated, y
we simply say that be Is poisoned. FOR
our word ''inioNicate' ome from the
Latin word 'toNicum. which means
poison. from this We have the word
..toxicoloyy." which is the science that
treats of poisons. II one tax 5 into the
stomach meat. bread. potatoes, or other
food. il is digested. and converted into
muscle. brain, bone, or some other part
of the body. Thus by food the waste
Of the human system is repaired. which
is occasioned by the work Of life. But
when alcohol is taken into the stomach.
that organ rcsents its Intrusion, and
drives il into the liver. which. in turn.
forces il to the heart, and that throws
il into the lungs-and SO il goes on, IN
its unwelcome and compulsory our

portion OF il. until the system is rid of
il. In this process of expulsion every
organ, by and by, becomes seriously
damaged.
At last. both body and mind are
ruined. The perceptions are bewild-
cred. the memory weakened. the reas-
oning power clouded. the moral sense
benuinbed. the will dethroned. the self
respect dead. and there is no vice or
crime 10 which the victim is not liable.
A terrible dipsomania is established.

for alcohol, that knows no bounds, and
for which there is rarely any cure
