Show the causes intemperance that lead up to it and it ita fa however much wo may deplore the effects of intoxication and condemn the saloon still we have not made ourselves masters maters of the situation until we have acquainted ourselves thoroughly with now the cause the cause Is in the appetite what does a drinking man thirst for ho ile craves for fora a stimulant something that will brace him win up A man disappointed by failure in business or in his love affairs is depressed by the failure of his hopes which acts immediately on his nerve center which is located in the body just behind the stomach eto mach it gives to the whole system a relaxed depressed feeling alcohol is composed mainly of hydrogen and carbon the carbon bardens hardens and braces the tissues while the hydrogen inflates lightens up and lifts up and raises rapidly to the head and to the top of that where hope is located As a consequence it is a direct and immediate stimulant and the victim feels that he has been directly helped the first effect helpful as it seems is only for a few hours at most it if the stimulant was not renewed by a second drink it would be seen that all the buoyant feeling would pass off in fix less than six hours the hardening compact feeling it gives to tho the tissues of the body docs does not vanish so readily for a continuation ua ti on of drinking eoon soon reaches a standstill A system in a lax fluttering condition is by alcohol first steadied and then paralyzed not stiffened but simply braced to a standstill this is the intoxication cation of tho the bodily tissues and is the solidifying carbon the diamond represents pure carbon carbon is added to iron to harden it into steel the ripened hardness or appearance of a full grown plant is the result of carbon added to its soft young milky fiber carbon stops action and is the greatest known cohesive it is the solidifying resisting power in all explosives plo while hydrogen is its principal expanding separating power habitual drinking of alcoholic liquors so hardens the tissues and stops action that gout rheumatism and mental imbecility beci lity are the results the buoyant lifting up effect of tho the hydrogen is soon gone hence wo we see that resorting to drink for a stimulant is successful only long iong enough to mislead the victim for its final effect is a decided disadvantage it is the most ingenious fraud known to mankind brilliant in ita its promises and a most unlimited swindle in its fulfillment men drink to keep warm and drink to keep cool because of the double effect of alcohol when it enters the tile stomach it dispels the boat heat or sends it outward thus the surface of than the body ii immediately warmed the alcohol pushes the heat beat before it as it spreads through the system toward th the e surface of the body and when the alcohol itself reaches the surface of the body it lias has driven the heat beyond it and thus leaves the whole body cold heat is the result of action and carbon stops the action at each point as fast as it reaches it and enough of it paralyzes the man who is exhausted by overwork seeks this deceptive stimulant the man whose system is exhausted by sickness by lack of food or by trying to live on adulterated food each and all of them turn to this fraudulent support sleeping in a foul or unventilated apartment exhausts the system and creates this craving for stimulants we are often told that thai if laboring people worked less hours they would patronize the grog shop more but the reverse is the truth they patronize the trog grog shop because they work too much and are exhausted and seek a stimulant overworked mothers produce children who are exhausted from birth they exhaust their energy in work and are thus deprived of tho power to give suf focient energy to their children such children are literally born tired and they crave cravo a stimulant from their birth 4 up they are easy victims to the drink habit the children of exhausted mothers are the genuine barroom loafers 1 in a majority of cases the tile crime begins before the offender is bom born by overworking the mother the principal evils are ignorance and overwork the difficulty in hand is the desire for stimulant alcohol is an arch deceiver dawn |
