And are we to wonder thatliquid fire,

scorch the iiituls, should make men sick?
Hear the complaints, observe the maladies,
witness the untimely death of hard drink-
ers, and is not the evidence complete, that
liquor is noxious to health .
But seine, (it wfill be Salpll), have lxeg

sumption. lf liquor for this reason pro-
motes health, for the same reason a con-
sumption promotes health. No in both
cases persons live in spite of the tokens of
approaching death, that are visibly upon
them. '
Still, some will urge, “a little liquor,
moileratel used, is for the healih——it is
excess, shiimeful excess, that produces all
these inischiefs.” Will experience con-
firm this declaration? Are people now
more healthy and long lived, than they
were eighty years agol. On the contrary,
have not consumptions, dropsies, and fevers
increased as the use of ardent spirits has
increased? They have beyond question,
“grown with its growth, and strengthened
with its strength!”

To show in what estimation the primitive
Selllers of NewEnc_rland held the necessiiv
and use of ardent spirits; the history of
the first barrel of rum ever brought into
‘ Norwalk, is here subjoined.
A packet master had returned from
Boston, and it was noised abroad. that he
had broiiglit zt barrel of rum. The civil
authority, the select men. and principal
inhabitants of the town came to_qetl=er and
enquired iftlie thing was so. He assented.
They declared with one voice. “You shall
never lanl it on our shores! VVhntl a
whole Barrel ofRiirn ! lt will corrupt our
morals and be our undoing.”
The captain consulted his safety, by
taking the barrel forthwith, and carrying
it back to Boston whence it came.
Look at the strength, the labours, the
longevity of these primitive inhabitants,
and this needs no comment.
Indeed, it is wonderful, how :1 rational
man should ever come to believe. that
ll€l"ld “'9. '"l~‘t‘tt into the stomach. will
lessen the effects of heat.
“As well” says Dr. Rush, "might We
throw oil into a house on fire to prevent
it from burning‘. as to pour ardent spirits
into the stomach, to prevent the effects of
a hot sun.”

in any ordinary case. .The drinker of

intolerable heat and thirst. drive him to
swallow excessive quantities of cold wa-
ter; the shock is so sndifen, that 1l'1P
powers of nature are overcome, and life
is destroyed, as a heated stone bursts, by
the application of cold water. But the
procuring cause is rum.
That no man ever perished in conse-
quence of drinking cold water, without a
previous use of rum, is not pretended.-
But though it may not be impossible, it is
certainly difficult to find such a case. The
last division of American troops, that
escaped from New York, when the British
took possession of that place,_in the last
war, died in great numbers, at it well, in
the neighborhood of Harlaem. Each
soldier carried with hivn a canteen of rum,
in addition to the heat of the day, and the
excessive fatigue of the retreating army,
their drinking frequent and lnrtze draught:
of raw rum, perfectly fitted them, for the
fatal effects which followed the use ofcold
water.
Again; will ardent. spirits remove the
heat of a fever 2’ From reason it is prob
able, and from experience evident, that
they will remove other heat as well, and
in the same way.
‘.2. In extreme cold, men feel that they.
must drink to be Warm, and bid defiance:
to the weather. But,
Had a man resolved to freeze, he could-
not_do better than to drink freely of spirits
and then go into the cold. The glow of.
warmth produced by liquor, is 505.1 {o|-l
lowed by a weak and chilled state of the’
frame.
That drinl~ ing freely, predisposes to
freezing, is evinced by many facts; and
among others by the following ;—
In the winter of I796, a vessel belonging
to one of the eastern ports-in Connecticut‘,
was wrecked off the shores of Massachu-
setts.
»’l'here were seven persons on board.
It was night. Five of them resolved to
,quit the wreck, and seek for shelter on
chore; apprehending from the violence of
the waves, that the vessel must soon part
and go to pieces. ’
By way of preparation for the attempt,
four of.them, drank largely of spirits; the
fifth would drink none—not a drop. They
all leaped into the water; one was drowned
before he reached the shore. The other
four came to land; and in a deep snow,
-"
and piercing cold, directed their course to
a disiantligbt. ' All that drunk spirits
fail.--d, and stopped and froze, one afteri
another. Tbe'man that drank none, held,
on his way and reached the house; and
still lives, to enjoy the rewards of temper-
ance. '
In similar cases of sbipwrecl-‘, in c0l¢l
weather, why is it, that sailors are so gen-
erally frozenl Other persons, from ucci-,
yet do not freeze- _
The reason for this observable difference
may be found in one fact; sailors, when
their vessel is driven ashore, feel a sort of
dread and desperation ; they drink freely,
and then make the attempt to escape.
When they reach the shore, they are pre-
disposed and perfectly prepared to freeze,
as they (la.
The noxious effect of ardent spirits,
appears from a fact which took place at
Newport, (R. I.) This fact is decisive,
the rather, because it may be objected,
that it is excess, and not the temperate
use of ardent spirit, which produces such
fatal effects in cold weather.
‘9
A brig from Rllsalfl, laden with iron, ran
froui Newport Island. The master was
disposed to unload and get her off.
But the weather was extreme in severity,
and none cguld be found, to undertake the
task ; as the vessel,at a distance from the
shore, was covered with ice, and exposed
to the full cflect of wind and cold.
Capt. G , a packet master of New-
port, respected for his integrity, and a
rare instance, in his occupation, of nbsti
nence from the use of spirit, at length
engaged to unload the brig, and procuicd
his hands. Six men were employed in the
hold, which (the vessel being bilged) was
full of ice and water. The_v begun the
work with a free, but perfectly temperate
use of spirit; thinking they sliouid need
it then ifever.
But after two hours labour, they all
gave out; chilled ll‘|t‘()U,f__Tll and through.

To conclude this view of the subject; ;
lit is confidently apprehended, that nrdi-nt '\Ve are informed,_says the ‘Standard, that
spirits, whether taken in large or small,
qnniitiiiiies, do not lessen the noxious ef-
fects of either heat or cold upon the hu- ibecame Freemcn at the same time w th
lman frame; but absolutely enlinnce both ; lliimself. Some of these gentlemen would
that they add nothing ultimately to the
both.
Such, it is believed,‘ in ordinary cases,
‘-must in the nature of things be the effect
]of ardent spirits. For this plain reason,
‘there is no nourishment in them. Hence,
!so far as they raise and quick-' n the pew-
,ers of the body. or mind, above the ordi-
’nai-y tone of exertion; just so far below
lthat tone, these powers must sink when
the stimulus is over.
If this reasoning is correct, it will follow
as the natural cnriseqiience, that men must
increase the quantity of their drink, from
time to time, also the fiequency of their
l(ll‘llllt'ltlE, in order to be comfortable. It
will follow. that men must be weak and in
\\ ant ofdrink, in proportion to the quantity
they ta e.
In short; it will follow, that drinking
spirit, is a gradual descent, ubere every
inch increases the declivity, and quickens
the progress; so that none turn again,
ni-iilier take they hold on the paths oflife.
Look to the whole history of t.ll'llll\'lll,Q. and

3. Great bodily exertion calls for the
stiinulus of ardent spirits. l- in presently
after the indiilgenci-~, that. call returns with
renewed violence. And every indulgence,
iiianifestly iiicre.-uses the call; for labour-
ing people depri. ed o‘ the customary dram,
feel weak and in want of driii , in direct
proportion to the quantity they are accus-

hardy and l)l'1\\e:lrlt'.'(l by nature, than other

aiti0cial, sickly stimulus of spirit.

single month remains to marshal our forces and
