Description:Excerpt from The Temperance Manual, of the American Temperance Society, for the Young Men of the United States Says an eminent physician, Reuben D. Mussey, President of the New Hampshire Medical Society, and Professor of Anatomy and Sur gery in Dartmouth College - What is the secret of this witchery which strong drink exerts over the whole man? I will try to tell you. After being received into the stomach, it is soaked up by the absorbent vessels, is carried into the blood, and circulates through the alimentary organs, through the lungs, muscles, and brain; and doubtless through every organ of the body. Not a blood-vessel, however minute, not a thread of nerve in the whole animal machine escapes its in uence. And what is the nature of that in uence? It disturbs the functions of life. On every organ they touch, says another eminent physician, Ebenezer Alden, M. D. Of Massachusetts, ardent spirits operate as a poison. Nowhere in the human body are they allowed even a lodg ment, until the vital powers are so far prostrated that they cannot be removed. They are hurried on from one organ to another, marking their course with irregularity of action and disturbance of function; until at last, as a common enemy, they are taken by the emunctories, the scavengers of the system, and unceremoniously excluded. When through decay of organic vigor, this process ceases, the work of de struction is drawing to a close; and the last glimmerings of life are soon extinguished. To a man in health, there is no such thing as a temperate use of spirits. In any quantity they are an enemy to the human constitution. Their in uence upon the physical organs is unfa vorable to health and life. They produce weakness, not strength; sickness, not health; death, and not life.
