which appetite they cannot control I,,5r or
has an inherited predisposition as con
stitutional cause. and with such tne
hereditary vice is easily aroused 70 aGtiv- T,.'
ity and becomes an irresistible controiihs
influence.
1t is not civilized mans natural dis
position tc relinquish all that serves ~
make life happy in order TO satisfy nus
desire for drink. Such, however, is tns
case with dipsomanlaes. the as,PiYe Pier,1aitlhh nath
drunkard presents no such p0stlre Pa, All

has time to cause tissue injuries.
Although such men sometimes go TO
terrible excesses, in some instances P,o
they either have great appetlte a1a ,1 con,

tobacco; but let such persons discontinue
its use for any reason, and for weeks
they must suffer with loss of appetite,
fever pains or palpitation, with perhaps
constipation and nervous lrrltapllty anu
loss of flesh.
The system has in such cases from
long abuse become changed and demands
its regular poison to sustain the apnor-

No higher mission comes to the meolcai
man-no greater credit can attach TO MS

stay this torrent of misery that flows so
relentlessly over its bed of human
hearts,

this haunting vice.
They are too often open to greater
