Oaly thoee who have felt the power of ^itestroyer, know, or can tell what a fMjfal curse parents may bequeath to itMsir children. One who has wrestled with the monster says: I pray heaven that all along the temperance lines the brothere and sisters may take up the ^sry, in the church, the school, in the store, the work shop, the market, at the street corners, at every public temper­ ance meeting and everywhere, LIVING ISSUE! LIVING ISSUE! ! Some of your readers may think me boardering on fanaticism. To Such I would say: "Go see what I have seen. Go feel what 1 have felt!" On my father's side, grand­ father and grandmother, both rest in drunkard's graves. The rum fiend cast my father out of the pulpit, from which he had been preaching many years with groat acceptance. Strong drink drownd- ed my best beloved brother at the age of 33. The demon has haunted me more or less all my live, since I was 10 ; years old. From my 15th year to the , age of 35 I kept him at bay. Then caroe a turn ia ray circumstances. The demon conquered for a few years, bringing me again and again on the verge of suicide. A portion of the time I am quite clear from the desire of strong drink. I feel , to loathe, abhor and hate it. Then, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, my physiological crookedness, or hereditary Devil (or whatever else you may name : It) seems to be resucitated, and with hell- : isb malignity urges and goads me every step to drink again, and while this feel­ ing remains uppermost, it is a daily and hourly fight, and many a time ending in m wuvpletG break dowa of agony and tears. Now Sir, I know that there are hundreds of thousands of men, whose ex­ periences correspond with mine, and thousands of those victims of the most terrible physical disease that ever afflict­ ed our common humanity (notwithstand­ ing what is said by a certain class of proud, boasting, pharisaical, inexper­ ienced, self-righteous men) who have been ready at any time during the past twenty years to lay down their lives for the sake of humanity, if thereby the drink traffic might be brought to an end, How long, oh God? How long shall it be before thy people shall read and think and acknowledge and act upon thfc terrible physiological fact, as laid down by Dr. Richardson and other leading scientific men, that the number of those who are born with a tendency to drunk snness is fearfully on the increase? m 1892, we shall give a discount erf 20 per cent on our remaining •--•••a ,• k ' IA, J. v~ '4** 't'iy' :4*" Our previously L6# prices on the same, to? gether with this discount makes It to your interest^ to buy what you may - want forfuture use us now.; a ' • • J /> "I ^ ^P^^g^Respectfolly, * & Ringwood,Hl.
