But besides those discases of the skinf
that wise from excessive action of its
blood vessels; there are others that pro
ceed from its sympathy with internal or
gans, that have been disordered by in
temperance, The bubuckles, \\'lu:lk.-',l
and rosy drops, or rum blossoms, that 80|
olten emboss the cheeks of the drunkard,
and which Falstafl' Indicrously notices
upon the face of Bardolph, are referred’
by physicians to a disordered state of the |
liver, They scem to be like red flags
hoisted out upon the rampurts of the
fortress by an enemy within, to denote
that he holds entive and undisputed
possession of the castle. y
6. The Brain. 'This organ presides
over all the physical and intellectual
energics of man. Not a muscle can’
be moved, nor an impression felt; nor a
volition exerted where the brain ceases
to perform its functions, or where its
nervous communications are interrupted. |
Ardent spirit acts upon the brain, firsl,
through the medium of the circulation,
'ln some cases the liquor has been de
tected in the cavities of the brain.* In
‘most instances of intoxication, there is |
/probably mcre or less of the spirit ab-|
sorbed from the stomach, and carried
thither in a diluted state. Secondly,|
it acts upon the brain through the
medium of nervous communication.— |
‘The immediate exhilaration from a glnssli
‘of spirit, is too sudden to admit ol'nbsorp-i
tion, and transmission through the cir-|
culation. Thirdly, ardent spirit acts up-|
‘on the brain, though somewhat tardily,!
and indirectly, through the medium of its|
sympathy with the liver. The indirccti
debility and torpor that follow a fit ofin-|
toxication, extend their influence to the
brain, darkening the mind with gloom
and melancholy, and impairing all the
‘muscular encrgies of the system. But
leaving the further consideration of its'
‘mode of operation, we all know from|
‘daily observation that a trembling Imml,‘
‘a flagging of the strength, stiflness of the |
‘Joints, and mental imbecility, are thc‘
inevitable consequences of the abuse of’
ardent spirits, “that the morning finds
the nerves run down and unfit for exer
‘cise, till wound up by a potent glass of
'sttmulus.”’
| There is no truth in the vulgar saying, |
that the healthy laborer requires the
stimulation of ardent spirits. They only
transiently rouse the physical powcrs,’
with the certainty of being succeeded
by a corresponding languor and debility,
and the same course must be resorted to
‘again and again, to maintain the ordina-i
ry standard, “till finally nearly all pow
cr becomes dependant on artificial stim-|
ulation.” Those who have fairly made
the experiment, and whose judgment is'
‘consequently most to be relied on, tell us,
that the use of ardent spirits long persis
ted in, wears out life, and that it hnstensl
exhaustion; even under a single trial of
strength, Let a ship’s crew be station
ed at the pumps, to work orsink in the midi
ocean, and those who nerve their arms’
“with such artificial excitement, will be
“the first to flag and drop at their slutions,,
" while the man who abstains entirely, will
';hold out to the last. I will however add,
;lthut the strength is longest preserved un
der such trying circumstances, by the
tonic power of hot coffee. This fact has’
i been ascertained by repeated trial. ‘
| Thata single glass or two of distilled
“liquor may be taken without much Imrm,‘
by a healthy laborer, is not denied.—
‘But it does no good, and is laying the
foundation of intemperate habits. Be
sides it is impossiblo to confine him to that
(uantity. 'l‘o derive the pleasing and
exhilarating effects first produced, the
quantity must be daily augumented; “I'or‘
a thousand facts teach us that our vital
organs respond less and less readily and
powerfully to the action of such slimu-‘
lants, in proportion to the frequency of
their application.”
Happy would it be if the effects of in
temperance on the brain were confined
to the physical energics of man. It is|
his nobler faculties that are assailed atu”
overthrown; those facultics that r:nise‘
him above the brute, and make him lord
of thig world, and which in this life nrci
‘but ‘in their bud of being.” The records
‘of insane hospitals present a frightful ro-‘
port of the numbers consigned to thvir'
wretched abodes;, who by adopting thcl
‘rules of our society, might have contin-|
wed a blessing to friends and an orna-|
‘ment to society. Nearly hall of the mis-|
‘erable beings confined in those cells,)
were the victims of intemperance, in
'duced in some instances, by resorting to,
distilled liquors, as a fallacious palliative
for grief, under affliction or disappoint-|
ment; and in others by a sottish habit
‘of drinking alone, without even any such |
iroor excuse, to excite our sympathies,
Besides these lamentable cases of per
‘mnncnt derangement, there isa murel

every physician has often met with, and

age, LA ) et
| From mental alienation, so painful to
contemplate, let us advert for a mament
to the ordinary influence of ardent spir
its upon the healthtul exercise of the -
tellectual fauculties, The condition of
these is intimately associated with that of
the bruin,—-they grow with its
growth, strengthen with its strength,
and deeline withits decay.
Every temporary excitement of the
brain arouses the operations of the mind
in a corresponding degree, butyasin other
organs, the excitement soon produces fa
tigue.—Too often does the poet attempt
to speed the wings of his imagination by
an exhiliarating draught, without scem-
ing to be aware that the adventitious aid
thus unpaited; whirls the fancy beyond
the judgment, and ‘leaves the body and
soul 1 a state of listless indolence and
sloth.” Where is the poet, who has goa
ded his imagination with the intoxicat
ing cup, that has equailed Homer and
Virgil? or the orator that has rivalled
Demosthenes and Cicero? all of whom
wrote betore ardent spirit was known,
- Is it said that gemws is quickened by
it, and its productions made to smell less
ofthe lamp? they however smell more of
‘the decanter, and of the immoral influ
‘ence that springs from its habitual use. |
‘Childe Harold was written when the au
‘thor practiced total abstinence, and Don
‘Juan, when he jaded his muse with gin,
}nnd a better commentary on the demor
‘alizing, debasing and polluting influence
!ol' such stimulus, cannot and need not be
:ofl'orcd. It should be remembered that
‘all such artificial impulses are fitful and
‘uncertain, and that he who urges the|
speed of his mental engine by such in-|
‘tensely heating fuel, hastens the declen
‘sion of its power, and that he is unprovi-,
‘ded with any safety valve, to prevent an
‘apoplectic explosion. ?
| I'might proceed with the catalogue of
‘diseases that result from the use and a-'
buse of distilled liquors, and present to,
lyon, Jaundice, Gout, Rheumatism, Drop
sy, Palsy, Epilepsy, Apoplcxy and Dis
'pepsia in its Protcan forms. In truth,
there is scarcely a human infirmity that
‘may be directly or indirectly excited or
'in some degree aggravated by this mor
bid agent; but the time already occu-|
pied requires that I should proceed, third
ly, to the treatment of intemperate habits.
| And here | may repeat the trite, yet
faithful remark, that an ounce of preven-|
‘tion is better than a pound of cure. We,
have seen that children, from hcrcdimryl
|diuposition, or peculiarity of tempera-,
‘ment, are constitutionally different, in|
respect to their propensity to acquire n
habit of intemperance; and as we would
\protect them from the exciting causes of
thoso diseases to which they are consti-|
tutionally liable, and, in respect to intem
‘perance, are unable at an early period
‘to foresce what their propensity may be, |
let us take the safer course, and guard
‘their early sensibilitics against all strong |
‘excitants of the stomach,whether of food,!
|(lriuk or medicine, and rebuke all those!
practices by which the foundation of in-/
temperance is laid, in the nursery itself.’
I As their little minds unfold, and lmgin‘
‘to survey the conduct of others,we should
‘guard them assidously against the influ
'ence of bad example. low many pa-|
‘rents have perverted their tender minds!
by holding the moderate use of ardent
spirits in respectful consideration. In
the presence of their children, and while
their tastes and opinions were forming, |
‘they drank modcrately, and oflered it to
'friends as a debt of hospitality. The de
‘canter occupied an hanorable place on
‘the sideboard, was regarded as a pana-
Icea for every trifling ailment, real or im
laginary,—as a cordial and restorative
‘under every exposure of the body to
‘heat, cold or fatigue, and as the main
spring of social feeling and enjoyment,
Where is the child who reveres his pa
;rents, that can long resist the control
ling influence of such frequent example?
Where is the child who sces the decan
‘ter thus honored as a fountain of so much
good, “that would not learn to think of
ity contrive ways of obtaining it, and soon
‘be in danger of loving it, and be casily
‘drawn into the snares of those who use it
to excess.,” We denounced distillers &
:«Iram-scllcrs, and would to God there
‘'were less of them; but it is parental ex
ample, honoring ardent spirit, by drink
ing it moderately at the table and else
where, that sows the seeds of intemper
ance in the minds of' children, ere they
have found their way to bar-rooms and
dramshops.
- Whena habit of intemperance isonce
contracted, whether in youth or those
of maturer vears, no tune is to be lost in
assailing and routing the enemy by every
possible mode of attack. Few habits
enthral by so potent a spell; the volun
tary and reasoning powers of' man, and
#0 enslave his moral faculties, as that of
intemperance; and few are there from
‘whose shackels he less frequently beo
comes delivered. The outset of reform
should therefore be thorough and un
compromising ; the suflering will proba-
bly be more concentrated, but then it will
be sooner removed. —Abundant evidence
might be adduced to prove that it will
neither endanger lite nor healthy, but,
sooner add to the enjoyment of both, ‘
CThe aecute and agonizing longing, and,
distressing exhaustion, will soon yield,
and under the healing influence of tem
perance and a nutritious diet, a few
months will iestore the patient to a state
of hodily vigor which his former ummur-!i
ance would not have led us to expeet, |
In this struggle for what is dearer
than lite; Tet him call in every collateral
aid, as cold bathing, exercize on horse
back, cmployment of body and mind,
change ot situation and associates, and
break up every triin of suggestion that
revives his ardent longings, 1 i
It all this fwl, and the suflerer still
finds himself’ uncqual for the struggle,
let him wage war against his rebellious
cravings, by the use of such nauscous
medicine, mixed with las favorite
beverage, as shall; convert them into
disgust and aversion, The best remedy,
and one that proved serviceable, in the
hands of Dr. Chambers, is tartarized
antimony. Its nauseating efleets are
certain, and its peculiar value consists
in its being tasteless, yet, communicat-|
mg a disgusting quality to the taste of|
the liquor in which it is dissolved. The|
stomach refers, it [ may so speak, all
the unpleasant feelings it experiences,
to the flavor of the ardent spirit, and for,
a long time after, revolts at the taste and
even the smell of it. If the use of
antimony has in some instances been)
attended with danger, it was bccnusci
the doses were too large, for some
broken down constitution. Ido not'
think says an eminent writer, who has,
administered the medicine with great,
success, that large, or even emetic doses!
are so suitable when we wish to clmnge'
the morbid action of the stomach which
solicits inebriation, It is an cxccllent!
maxim that chronic discases require
chronic treatment, and it is probable
that slightly nauseating doses of anti
mony,! long and frequently administer-|
cd in the patient’s customary liquor, will
be found the best means of not only
creating a distate to spirits, but of rc-l
moving those perverted actions of the
stomach wlich create so perilous a (lc-‘
mand for the intoxicating cup. It
should be taken daily, until the desired
effect is produced, and renewed when
ever the craving returns. It should be
poured from the same decanter, and|
drank under all the circumstances, of
time, place, and occasion, that attended
his long habit of indulgence. l
Such are the measures likely to suc
ceed in preventing intemperate lml;its,{
and such are the remedies for arresting
those habits when they are formed;—|
and when any of the host of discases 1
have mentioned are already induced,|
the physician should be informed of
their real cause, in order that he ay
adapt his mode of treatment accurding-i
ly. .
) Am 1 told that this address deseribing
the causes and eflects of intemperate,
habits is inapplicable to this highly
respectable audience, none of whont are’
under their influence? Let me say in
reply that every sot recling about our|
streets, or who has been cast into yon
der poor-house, might once have said
that the address was inapplicable, to
him; for he too was once only a tem
perate drinker, and loathed the sight of
a drunkard as much as we do: but his
temperate drinking insensibly led to
intemperate drinking, to loss of pro-|
perty, of friends, of' character, and “‘of’
hope that comes to all.” Besides,
where is there an individual whose
heart has not been wrung with anguish,|
by the misconduct of some near relative
or friend, ruined by habits of intoxica
tion? Will any of you then stand with
tolded arms and look with indiflerence
upon the exertions of this association, or
say that a deterring, yet faithtul des
cription of the discases of drunkards, or
the means of reclaiming from this viee
any who are dear to you, is out ol place
on this occasion? ‘
Am I told that the baneful influence
of ntoxicating liquors on health and
life has been exaggerated, that any
thing I have said 1s broad assertion,
unsupported by authenticated facts?—
Let me say in reply that the period has
gone by for the encmics of temperance
socicties to maintain any such position,
One of our principal objects in forming
them has been, to collect and duluse
T him who has long viclded servilely 1o hab
it« ol intoxication, savs Dr. Brown, the metaphy
sician, the mere sight, or the mere coneeption of
the poisonous beverage, to which he has devoted
and sacrificed his health and virtue and happiness

THE TIMES
correct statistical reformation; and when
it has been satisfactorily asecertained
trom the records of customn houses, and
the othees at Washington, that seventy
mitlions of gallons of ardent spirits have
been consumed in the United States in
asingle year; averaging six gallons to
cach mwan, woman and child in the
union,§ can we doubt the truth of anoth
cr calculation, that there were in the
same year a vast many thousands of
doankards in our land, with all their
crimes and poverty 7 or can we hesitate
to beheve a third estimate, that a great
many thousands died 1 the same year,
of the various discases that are caused
by intemperance?
No wonder that foreigners had begun
to stigmatize us as a nation of drunkards,
that paupensm and erime were erowding
our alms-houses and penitentiaries, that
discases and death were multiplying
throughout our borders. The wonder
15, that a nation clauning to be Patriots,
Philanthropists; Christians! should <o
long have slumbered and shut their eves
to the danger, or forborne to hit their
voice and raise their arm to overthrow
an enemy that was marching every
where, and every where marking lis
tootsteps with havoc ard slaughter.
But the alarm has been sounded, and
has awakened the American people to a
scnse of their danger. Public opinion
at last, armed with truth as with the
spear of Ithurial; “has touched the foul
and bloated vice, disclosing to the start
led sense of the universal people, all its
odious, and hideous, and portentous de
formity.” Hundreds of Thousands as
it rouscd by a midnight fire-bell, rushed
into the marshalled ranks of Temper
ance, and girding up to the combat,
resolved to strike and prostrate the
ruthless foe, with every weapon which
God and nature had placed within their
reach. And glorious has been the
success of the conflict. Already twen
ty-five millions of gallons are excluded
from our annual consumption of ardent’
spirits, and more than one thousand
distilleries demolished;—already more
than two thousand societies are organiz
ed, embodying half a million of Ameri
can citizens;—already have succeeded a
wide spread reform and melioration, and
moral and religious improvement; and
already, Furopeans, who had stigma
tized us as drunkards, have enrolled
themselves under the banner of Tem
perance, and are republishing our ad
dresses and reports, and echoing back
to us the shquts of our victories.
Who can behold such a redeeming
spirit in our favored country, without a
thrill of patriotic emotion? Who can
witness the moral dignity and glorious
achicvements of the temperance enter
prise, and shrink from his duty in
hastening its onward march, by his
name, his influence, and his consistent
example, in a systematic and judicious
attempt to expunge the foul stain of in
temperance from our national escutch
con,—‘“an attempt, that promises to re
dound to the stability and perpetuity of
those free institutions with which Al
mighty God hLas favored us, above
every other nation, or kindred, or tongue,
or people, under the whole canopy of
the outstretched heavens.” |
At the conclusion of the revolutionary |
war, Dr. Franklin, the American am
bassador, and the English and French
ministers were dining together at Ver
sailles, a toast from each was called for:
and agreed upon: The DBritish minis
ter began with, “George 111, who, like
the Sun in its meridian, spreads a lustre
thronghout, and enlightens the world.”
The French minister tollowed with, “’T'he
illustrious Louis X VI, who, like the
Moon, sheds its mild and benignant rays
on, and intfluencer the globe.” Franklin
then gave, “George Washington, the
commander of the American armies;
who, like Joshua of old, commanded
the Sun and Moon to stand stilly and they
obeyed him.” ‘
Tur Brack Asrrovoder.—ln the
year 1739, and for several years alter
wards, Denjamin Banneker, a black man
of Maryland, furnished the public with
an Almanac which was extensively cir
culated throngh the Southern States.—
He was a self-taught astronomer, and
his caleulations were so thorough and
exact, as to excite the approbation and
atronage of such men as Pitt, Fox,
k\'illmrll.rm'; and other eminent men,
by whom the work was produced in the
British House of Commons, as an argu
ment i favor of the mental cultivation of
the blacks,with their iberation from their,
unholy thraldom, Lynn Mivvor, |
Sudge Cranch of the U, 8 Circuit Court at
Washington, who had access to the records of the
public otfices, has recently stated in a public
address to the citizens of that city, and which you
will find eopied into the Journal of Health, that
three years ago, before the influence of temper
ance societies, began to be generally folt, the econ
sumption of ardent spirits i the United States
ina single year was seventy two millions of
gnllons, and that there were 375,000 regular
drunkards and if thie caleulation be correct, some
opinion can be formed of the consequent amownt
of disease and death . |
