KELLEY M MURPHY.

Francis Murphy. the great advocate
Of temperance, endorses the Kelley

drunkenness is q disease and durable
disease at that. A great many cases
of drunkenness comes from a false
notion. People catch cold and hy to
whisky for relief. thinking thatif The
stimulant is good, q great deal Of
stimulaut must be better. This is en-
tirely wrong. They proceed on this
theory until the curse of drunken
hess is fastened upon them, or they
take a remedy containing an opiate
and they take it so often that it turns
into the morphine habit, which is q
more dreadful curse than tho alcohol
