SAILED THE SEAS 9S YEARS.
One of His Experiences.

For thirty-eight years Capt. Loud followed the sea, most of that time as master Of a ves- sel, and upon retiring from the water was ap- pointed by the Secretary of the United states Treasury 10 superintend the seal fisheries in Alaska. which position he held five years. He relates one experience as follows:
 For several years had been troubled with general nervousness and pain in the region of my heart My greatest afiiiction was slecplessness; 1t was almost impossible at any time to obtain rest and sleep. Having seen Dr. Miles remedies advertised began using Nervine. After taking a small quantity the benefit received was so great that was posi- lively alarmed. thinking the remedy com tained opiates which would finally be lnjuri- ous to me; but on being assured by the drug gist that it was perfectly harmless. l contin- ued it together with the Heart Cure. Today can conscientiously say that Dr. Miles Re- storative Nervine and New Heart Cure did more for me than any thing had ever taken. l had been treated by eminent physicians in New York and San Francisco without ben eft I owe my present good health to the judicious use of these most valuable remedies, and heartily recommend them to all afflicted as was. Capt A. P. Loud Hampden, Me.

demoralizing to everybody that touches
it, from its source to where it ends.
do not believe anybody can contem-
plate the subject without being pref
udiced against the crime. All we have
to do is to think of the wrecks ON
either side of the stream of death, of
the suicides, of the insanity, of the pow
erty, pauperism and destruction coming
from alcohol, of the little children tug
ging at the breast of weeping, despair
ing, starving mothers begging for bread;
of the men of genius it has wrecked, of
the men struggling with imaginary SER
pents produced by this devilish thing,
and when we think of the jails and
almshouses, of the asylums, of the pris-
ons and of the scaffolds ON either bank
I do not wonder that every thoughtful
man is projudiced against the vile stuff
called alcohol
The part which Mr.. Ingersoll says he
did not write is this:
Intemperance cuts down youth in its
vigor, manhood in its strength and age
in its weakness. 1t breaks the fathers
heart, bereaves the doting mother, ex-
tinguishes natural affection, destroys
conjugal love, blots out filial attach
ments, blights parental hope and brings
premature age i'll sorrow and dishonor to
the grave. 1t produces weakness, not
strength; sickness, not health; death,
not life. 1t makes wives widows, chill
dren orphans, fathers fiends and all
paupers. 1t feeds rheumatism, nurses
gout, welcomes epidemics, invites chol-
era, imports pestilence, engenders con-
sumption and covers the land with idle
ness, misery and crime. 1t produces
controversies, fosters quarrels, cherishes
riots. 1t crowds our penitentiaries and
furnishes victims for the scaffold.
Alcohol is the blood of the gambler,
the inspiration Of the burglar, the stim-
ulus Of the highwayman and the sup
port of the midnight incendiary. 1t
suggests the lie and countenances the
liar, condones the thief, esteems the
blasphemer. 1t violates obligations, rev.
erences fraud, turns love to hate, scorns
virtue and innocence. 1t incites the ia
ther to butcher his offspring and the
child to sharpen the paricidal ak.
Alcohol burns up men. consumes
women, destroys life. curses God and
despises heaven. It suborns witnesses,
nurses perfdy, defiles the jury box and
stains the judicial ermine. 1t bribes
voters. disqualifies votes, oorrupts elec-
tions, pollutes our institutions and en-
dangers government. 1t degrades the
citizen, debases the legislator, dishonors
the statesman and disarms the patriot.
1t brings shame, not honor; terror, not
safety; misery, not happiness; despair,
not hope, and with the maleyolence of
fiend calmly surveys its frightful des-
olation and reveling in havoc it poisons
felicity, destroys peace, ruins morals.
wipes out national honor. curses the
world and laughs at the ruin it has
wrought. 1t does that and more-it
murders the soul It is the source Of all
villainies, the father of all crimes, the
mother of all denominations, the DEVILS

\ WORD OF :.NHORTATION


HEADQUARTERS PROHIBITION Ma
TIONAL COMMITTEE, ALBION, Mich,
Oct. q, 1894
without wasting words I wish to re-
peat oft uttered exhortations which, if
generally and wisely needed, will add
thousands to our aggregate vote three
weeks from today.
LET EVERY PROHIBITIONIST VOTE.
At every election we lose many votes
because Of the carelessness or indilfer-
ence OF men who allow trifling reasons
to keep them away from the ballot box.
l chance to know CT an instance oc-
curing In Nov, 1892, in which, of four
Prohibitionists. residing in four con-
secutive houses. three of them permit
ted matters of business to deprive them
of their votes, although in each case a
little forethought would have enabled
the voter to express himself at the bal
lot box. While such extreme cases are
rare, yet we lose heavily by the multi
plication of individual instances Let
our voters whose duties demand much
absence from home, 50 plan their af-
fairs as to have a day off If necessary
Oh Nov. 9th; let local committees eve
lywhere see to it that complete poll
lists are in the hands of competent
workers at each voting place, and that
every Prohibitionists is brought to the
ballot box before the polls close.
There ought to be no Indifference
about matter SO important.
What profit is it to win new converts,
if either they or the old liners neglect
a citizens duty on election day Sure
ly we have right to expect large
amount of earnest and active work on
the sixth of November. Shall we have
it and thus secure the fruits of previ-
Gus labor?
THE COUNT.
f'he important work does not end
when the polls close. Our votes are
often miscounted and incorrectly re-
turned. We have everywhere a moral
right, and in most States legal right,
to watch the count and see that justice
is done.
Our workers should familiarize them
selves with the statutory provisions
concerning ohallengers and watchers
and should comply therewith and in
sist on their rights.
WHO SHALL ACT?
Where our organization is all COM
plete this question is easily answered.
1t is the duty of local committees to
do just this class of work, to get out
the voters and watch the count. I'm
fortunately there are localities where
local committees neglect their duty in
this regard and there are other locali-
ties where no local committee exists.
1t is for these localities that this
word of exhortation is uttered. Let
every Prohibitionist consider himself
committee of one charged with the
responsibilities above indicated. Let
two or three interested persons ar
