G a. Lee. NJ. d.. in speaking oil
tic effects OF malt and alcoholic
liquors.. states 1t Is the general
opinion In this country. that malt
liquors have Ii more injurious effect
upon the human organism, than ar
dent spirits. They stupefy and stul-
tlfy the rain render the blood
thick and ylscid-load the cellular
tissue with morbid fat ~ render
wounds very difficult to heal-and
accidents, which, in water-drinkers,
would require very little attention,
in the beer-drinker are much more
likely to prove fatal. NuX Nomica
and Cocculus lndicus, two very poi
sonous drugs, are imported into this
country, in large quantities, II
chiefly purchased by brewers, for the
manufacture OF beer, while in Eng
land, their use for this purpose, as
we'll as all other poisonous sub
stances, is strictly prohibited by
law, under the most severe penal
ties"
1T has been proven that alcohol, in
every form and degree violates the
absorbent system-passes into the
circulation unchanged = and has
been found pure in the brain-and
whether used in pie, cake, confec-
tionery, or in wine, cider, beer, or
any Fashionable way, it is the same
deadly poison"
Richard Lloyd, born two miles
from Montgomery, England, at the
age of 1873 years, was a strong,
straight, erect man; had all his teeth
mo gray hairs-could hear we'll,
see without glasses, was plump, full
checked, and %conversed freely, and
his only food was bread, butter,
cheese and vegetables, and his drink
whey and water. The original in
habitants of New Zealand We're
strictly water-drinkers, and Captain
Cook states that when he first Wis
tied hat island, they all enjoyed
perfect health, and he was unable
to discover wen SO much as a symp-
tom of disease among them"
DR.. Bush writes: There cannot
be a greater error, than to suppose
that the use of alcoholic liquors les
sens the effects of cold upon the hui
man body. On the contrary, they
always render the system more liza
| BILE to be affected and injured by the
cold for the stimulation and warmth
which they produce, are always rap
idly succeeded by l%assitude, debility
and chilliness."
OF strong beer, DR.. Alcott, of Bos-
ton, states: DETRIMENTAL liquors are
poisonous, and strong beer is a very
unwholesome compound, more fit to
be poured into the gutter, than the
human stomach. 1t contains about
six per cent of pure alcohol, and one
pint of it, contains about a wine
glass full of this poison"
In speaking of Liquors as a Med
icine,'' Prof. Sewell states: The
erroneous idea, that alcoholic liquors
are sometimes necessary as a medi-
cine, in the treatment of disease,
has slain it's thousands and tens of
thousands, who would otherwise
never have imbibed a love for them.
There is no case of disease, in which
there are not good, and equally eff
cient substitutes for them"
At a temperance meeting, held
some years since in the state of Ala
bama, Col. Lehamowski, once a Po-
lish Count, and who served many
years in Bonparte's armies, address,
ed the meeting. He arose before a
large audience, tall, erect and Wig
orous, with the glow of health on his
face, and said: "You see before you
a man seventy-nine years old
have fought 200 battles-have four
teen wounds upon my body-have
lived so days on horse fesh-with
the bark of trees for bread-snow
and ice for my drink-the canopy of
heaven for my covering-without
stockings or shoes on my feet-and
with only a few rags to cover my
body. In Egypt, have marched for
days, with the burning sun upon my
naked head-feet blistered in the
hot sand-and with eyes, nostrils
and mouth filled with dust-and
thirst SO tormenting that l have torn
open the veins of my arms, and
sucked my own blood. Do you ask
how l could survive all these hor-
rors? | answer, next to the kind
