Dead bodies oan be kept in alcohol an al­ most unlimited time without decay. This Illustrates the effect alcohol has on the food in the stomach; on meats H makes them something like leather, and on things of a similar character, «• far as digestion is concerned, for it to sot by what we eat that the body is nourished but by what we digest. Ton can put dead men in ! whisky to fweeerve thera; but if jeii want life and vitality keep beer and whisky out of live stomachs; its effect8 are only •loteoning, or rather, death in disguise. Toil are first cheated by an exhllara* tlon that Is only hastening tbe process of death la your own bodies by pro­ ducing a premature deterioration of •11 tbe vital tissues, and the food which was iatended for the process of digestion Is changed Into a material analogous to leather, so that perfect digestion Is next to Impossible, and congestion of all the vital organs is Inevitable.
