Fix this text( Concluded from page 254. )
Fix this textLawrence Hey worth, Esq., on presenting
Fix this texthimself to the meeting was received with
Fix this textthree successive b ursts of tremendous applause,
Fix this textand “ one cheer more.” He said, —Ladies
Fix this textand Gentlemen, I am quite sure, that if each
Fix this textindividual here present would take an earnest
Fix this textpart in disseminating the principles of tee-
Fix this texttotalism, they could not fail very soon to
Fix this textmake converts of a number of their neigh-
Fix this textbours; and the same spirit of zeal being
Fix this textinfused into these, it is quite evident, by a
Fix this textvery ready calculation, that our principles
Fix this textwould soon be embraced by the whole of the
Fix this textpopulation of this great and mighty empire.
Fix this textI believe that often as the cause of temper-
Fix this textance has been discussed by us, and often as
Fix this textthe evils of intemperance has been placed
Fix this textbp(ore us, we have not yet arrived at a proper
Fix this textcalculation and estimate of the great potency
Fix this textand magnitude of the evils of intemperance,
Fix this text> iforaVV'e had, we should all have been more
Fix this textaitijte; apd earnest in our endeavours to ex-
Fix this textterminate it. I believe there is still a lin-
Fix this textgering prejudice in favour of intoxicating
Fix this textbeverages; and I do not think that all have
Fix this textarrived at the conclusion to which I have
Fix this textmost firmly arrived—that every kind of
Fix this textintoxicating beverage is poisonous to the
Fix this texthuman constitution. If all had arrived at
Fix this textthis conclusion, what could prevent us from
Fix this text.taking the most energetic measures to remove
Fix this textthe evil to which I have directed your atten-
Fix this texttion.
Fix this textDr. Gourley, of Madeley, said, —I never
Fix this textdrank a glass of wine or spirits in my life;
Fix this textI never drank a pint of ale at one sitting; I
Fix this texthave never been one hour ill, and I have a
Fix this textconstitution capable of bearing as much
Fix this textfatigue as any man. The human body is
Fix this textthe most complicated piece of machinery
Fix this textof any animal on the face of the earth.
Fix this textIt requires nourishment when exhausted,
Fix this textand rest when fatigued. Give it these,
Fix this textand you give it fair play; reverse this
Fix this textorder of nature, and you do not give it fair
Fix this textplay. What kind of nutriment should be
Fix this textgiven to the human body? Chemists have
Fix this textanalysed the tissues, and found that they
Fix this textcontain a larger amount of nitrogen than of
Fix this textany other element; therefore nitrogen must
Fix this textbe contained in substances that nourish.
Fix this textAnother element is carbon, and this is re-
Fix this textquired for the production of animal heat.
Fix this textOrdinary food contains a sufficient quantity
Fix this textof these elementary principles; but intoxi-
Fix this textcating drinks contain very little of the first
Fix this textprinciple, viz., that of nitrogen. The inju-
Fix this textrious properties of intoxicating liquors are
Fix this textof several kinds. The first is that of sti-
Fix this textmulation. Alcoholic drinks stimulate the
