you can make a dent in his muscle like
YOU can in a piece Of dough You come
hack in half am hour and there's the
dent-stfil there. What's the matter?
That isn't all. II he were TO meet
with an accident that required a surgi-
al operation there isn't a surgeon that
could save his life. Statistics show that
ninety-four out OF hundred die of blood
poison.
Pneumonia has a first mortgage on
a oOOze-hoister- Eighty-twC per cent of
the men who drink and live in sin die
when pneumonia strikes them, It's a
first mortgage ON a boOze-f;Chter.
The fellow who lives right. eats good
beefsteak. drinks good coffee. milk and
all that. so up and touch his muscles.
They pop out like bicycle tire He is
full OF good stuff,
One Of the first indications Of
ed-strawberry stomach is crush
edstrawberry nose when indigestion
begins on the inside Il hangs its sign
out So here. these nerves and these
capillaries and veins and arteries become
congested- He wonders why his food
doesn't set as well a. IL used 10. He
takes another drink and each added
drink lntensifieS the trouble. and III 1
could take the stomach OF a moderate
drinker and let YOU see the inflamed
condition of those fibers and arteries,
that would be all the temperance lecture
you'd ever need in the world il you have
scintilla OF decency or manliness or
womsnliness in you.
Then comes the hob-nailed liver.
Here's the liver on your right side. 1t
IS the largest organ in your body. In
a man that weighs $50 or zoe pounds
YOUR liver will weigh between four and
a half and five and a half pounds.
Now. here's your liver. Every drop
NJ blood in your body goes through your
liver Here's a man who drinks. The
alcohol has the effect OF causing on the
surface of the liver eruptions known as
hObnails- A hObnail is a nail like they
used TO drive into the bottom of my
shoes when was a boy. l got one pair
Of boots and they lasted me all summer
and winter. and il they wore out l didn't
get any more. So I used TO drive great
Dig hObnails into the sOles TO keep them
from wearing out.
Now. every. drop OF blood goes through
YOUR liver / want to show you all
about the hobnaiI liver. And here
right under there-put your finger under
your last rib-right under there is
little vessel known as the gall bladder.
and the liver takes out of your blood
a certain substance and puts il into
this gall bladder. Running from that
gall bladder into your intestines is
little fine hollow tube and that suo-
stance passes into your bowels through
thst, il lubricates your bowels like oil
lubricates the cylinders of a locomotive
or machine OF any kind
Now. then. the blood all passes
through your liver. but when a fellow
drinks and the liver can't perform its
junction and extract that substance and
put "a in his gall bladder. IL goes all
through his body. The whites OF his
eyes turn yellow. his skin turns yell
low. his mouth gets dry.
In your mouth are lnnumerabIe little
muscles They contract. like squeezing
the bulb OF syringe Like in the
Jaws of. rstTissnske. When you chew
b. there Is a secretion called saliva that
comes our and mixes with the gastric
Juice and other juices and aids diges-
ton. And in the case Of fellow who
drinks. the refuse matter can't be puC
in the sail bladder and il passes off
through the stool but goes through his
body. and the whites OF his eyes turn
yellow. his skin turns yellow and his
mouth becomes dry What's the cause?
Nothing under Gods heaven but the
failure o. the liver TO take out OF the
BODY a substance that shouldn't be
there and put IL in the gall bladder.
What brings on that condition. Booze.
Then we come to the heart. The
heart drives the blood through you
veins II - the most wonderful pump
ing station in the world Your blood is
pumped through miles and miles OF
veins and arteries every day. Your heart
beats 100000 times in a day: 36.O0O.O)0
times IN year. and Il never stops. And
when II does stop they phone for the
undertaken When your heart is af-
fected you always have trouble.
Then your kidneys-they are right
