It +chains the intellect and bids defiance to your better judgment. Strive +like one who knows he has grappled with Death and the victory must be +won or self be lost!" +</p> +<p> +TOBACCO should never be mentioned except as a poison, one of the most +active and fatal of poisons; it is the only herb known to possess two +active deadly poisons, <span class="sc">Nicotina</span> and <span class="sc">Nicotianin</span>: It is really so fatal +that doctors seldom administer it, and never internally. For an over +dose of Opium, Arsenic, or Strychnine, when taken in time, there is a +cure, but for an over dose of tobacco there is none; its effect on the +system is Paleness, Nausea, Giddiness, Lessening of the heart's action, +Vomiting, Purging, Cold-sweating, and utter Prostration, such as no +other poison can induce, then death! Its evils are numerous we will +notice a few as follows. +</p> +<p> +1. It impregnates the whole system with two of the most fatal poisons, +<span class="sc">Nicotina</span>, and <span class="sc">Nicotianin</span>. +</p> +<p> +2. With either of which the system is subjected to continuous repair, +therefore Doctors seldom advise one to quit it. It is too much like +taking bread and butter from their babe's mouths. +</p> +<p> +3. It enslaves a man so that it requires a powerful exertion to break +its chains and fetters to regain their freedom. +</p> +<p> +4. It causes dyspepsia by spitting off the saliva that ought to go to +digest the food, aid the digestive system, and to regulate and heal the +bowels. +</p> +<p> +5. When you breathe the smoke it produces asthma and lays the foundation +for a train of other fatal diseases. +</p> +<p> +6. In breathing the two poisons into the lungs, often produces paralysis +of the lungs and consumption. +</p> +<br /> +</div> +<img src="images/w-b1.png" height="20" style="width:500px;" alt="" /> +<!--end page 2--> + +<div style="height: 4em;"><br /><br /><br /><br /></div> + +<p class="pcenter">3</p> + +<div id="page3" style="width:500px!important; background: url(images/w-m1.png); background-repeat: repeat-y;padding:0;margin:0;"> +<img src="images/w-t1.png" height="20" style="width:500px;" alt="" /> + +<p> +7. It gradually weakens and destroys the whole nervous system and is the +cause of a large majority of cases of Insanity, which can readily be +found in all stages, among those who use tobacco. +</p> +<p> +8. It makes one appear to be ill-bred and extremely distasteful in +society. +</p> +<p> +9. It is said by critics to entirely destroy a certain faculty of the +mind. +</p> +<p> +10. It renders one's breath very repugnant to a companion. +</p> +<p> +11. It is continually drawing on the pocket for the small change that +might be laid up. +</p> +<p> +12. When taken as snuff it wonderfully impairs and often paralyzing and +destroys the Olfactory nerves and deprives one of the sense of smell. +</p> +<p> +13. It creates a craving for Alcoholic drinks, it prostrates the system +to such an extent that nature calls for aid by stimulants, hence the +craving for drinks, peppers, mustards, &c., &c. +</p> +<p> +14. It creates an inordinate desire for excitement such as Noose and +Novel reading, and a loathing of Science and Philosophy. +</p> +<p> +15. The smoke has a wonderful tendency to weaken and impair the +eye-sight. +</p> +<p> +16. Its use is an evil example to the young who look to us for advice +and protection from evil. +</p> +<p> +17. It decomposes and devitalizes the electrovita fluid in the human +system. +</p> +<p> +18. The system of the tobacco users is always in a morbid condition, +as proof when you are sick you can't use it; for be it known that two +morbid conditions can not exist in the system at the same time; one +will drive out the other. +</p> +<p> +19. The poison is transmitted to the unborn infant, many times impairing +its vital organs and causing a pre-mature death: and I once heard a +Physician of much learning and practic, Dr. <span class="sc">Niles</span>. Say that there never +was nor ever could be a <span class="sc">healthy child</span> born of parents who were habitual +tobacco users. And I apprehend that every doctor of note in the land +will witness the same thing. +</p> +<p> +TOBACCO EATERS! Is the most appropriate name for the users of Tobacco; +as much so as the vile disgusting loathsome green worm that swallows the +poison leaf into its stomach. For the poison of the quid and the smoke +is taken up by the blood vessels and absorbents of the mouth, and +carried into the circulation, even in a more virulent form than if +introduced by the stomach. +</p> +<br /> +</div> +<img src="images/w-b1.png" height="20" style="width:500px;" alt="" /> +<!--end page 3 rounded down to nearest para--> + +<div style="height: 4em;"><br /><br /><br /><br /></div> + +<p class="pcenter">4</p> +<div id="page4" style="width:500px!important; background: url(images/w-m1.png); background-repeat: repeat-y;"> +<img src="images/w-t1.png" height="20" style="width:100%;" alt="" /> + +<p> +Every doctor will tell you that he is more afraid to give tobacco, +even as an enema, than any other poison in the Materia Medica: he +never gives it by the stomach. Sometimes, in violent spasmodic colic, +or strangulation of the bowels, or spasmodic croup, tobacco is used +externally as a poultice, and if you are not very careful, it will kill +your patient even in this form. Many a colt and calf has been killed by +rubbing them with tobacco juice to kill the lice. Tobacco is death to +all kinds of parasitical vermin; it will kill the most venomous reptiles +very quick. Many children have been killed by the application of tobacco +for lice titter sores &c. Dr. Mussey tells of a woman that rubbed a +little tobacco juice on a ring worm, not larger than a 25 cts. on her +little girl's face; and if a physician had not been quickly summoned +the child would have died. He tells of a father who killed his son by +putting tobacco spit on a sore on his head. You would do well to read +what various medical men have written on the subject. Every other poison +vegetable is content with one poison; but tobacco has two of the most +deadly poisons in the vegetable kingdom. This is no scare-crow put up +to frighten you Tobacco Eaters; if you don't believe me just examine +a vegetable chemistry, and to convince your self more thoroughly, just +drop one drop of nicotina or nicotianin on the tongue of a Cat or a +Dog, that you don't wish to kill by the tedious method or shooting or +drowning, and see what the effect will be. See if Strychnine will do +its work so quick. +</p> +<p> +Doctors: men whose profession is to play with poisons as with so many +deadly vipers, stand back and behold its poisoned fangs with horrow, not +daring to lay hold on it and use it as a medicine for his sick wife or +child. No he shuns it with a deathly horrow! Though himself may be a +SLAVE to the slower action of its devitalizing powers on mind and body. +</p> +<p> +An over dose of tobacco is incureable because of its peculiar effect +upon the system. The effect is known by a deathly paleness and sickness, +then the air suddenly becomes too warm and oppressive, the patient +desires a cool situation, a drink of cold water and a fresh breeze, +the strangest of all is at the same time the patient is so stimulated +the action of the heart decreases, and to give a stimulant to increase +it, it increases its virulence in proportion to the increase of the +suffocating and sickening sensation: and to give the medicine to allay +that, still decreases the motion of the heart's action. Thus an antidote +is instantly transformed into fuel to feed the unquenchable flame that +is already devouring the human vitals. +</p> +<br /> +</div> +<img src="images/w-b1.png" height="20" style="width:500px;" alt="" /> + +<div style="height: 4em;"><br /><br /><br /><br /></div> + +<p class="pcenter">5</p> +<div id="page5" style="width:500px!important; background: url(images/w-m1.png); background-repeat: repeat-y;"> +<img src="images/w-t1.png" height="20" style="width:100%;" alt="" /> + +<p> +It is no use in telling you by this time that I talk not about tobacco +"like a book," but like one who has been tobacconized. For I have been +one of those unfortunate boys who never had an opportunity of learning +any thing except from that cross old pedagogue Experience, who +invariably compelled me to work out my own problems, often have I in +scalding tears of bitter regret. +</p> +<p> +Tobacco like alcohol gives a temporary stimulus, and to slack off the +use of it, it will produce similar effects. +</p> +<p> +Nicotina and Nicotianin are the proper fathers to the following +diseases,—Dispepsia, Water-brash, Cancer, Ramollissement, Impotence, +Fatuity, Caries, Consumption, Laryngitis, Cardialgia, Angina Pectoris, +Neuralgia, Paralysis, Amaurosis, Deafness, Liver Complaint, Apoplexy, +Insanity, Hippochondriasis, "Horrors," "Blues," and so on through the +greater part of the Nosological family. +</p> +<p> +Because you are not killed outright you flatter your self that you are +not poisoned, but I tell you that you are, and you are dying by inches +or by sixteenths of inches if you please, how ever small the effect on +you it has some effect and finally by a continual pressing of that +effect it will kill you. Put your ear to the huge locust tree and hear +the gentle grating of a bore worm. Thou insignificant worm! What dost +thou hope to do with that monster tree? Grate, grate, grate! For years +that almost imperceptible grating goes on, while the mighty locust lifts +its towering branches in fancied security. Finally, a storm comes and +the locust hopes to brave it as he has many others; but, alas, its +strength is undermined; Its vitals are eaten away, and it falls,—a +victim to the tiny worm. Thus does tobacco, or alcohol, or opium, or +any other poison when taken habitually, undermine the system, slowly, +imperceptibly,—but surely. +</p> +<p> +Go into any tobacco factory of cigars, snuff, or plug, and bring out +a healthy man if you can. +</p> +<br /> +</div> +<img src="images/w-b1.png" height="20" style="width:500px;" alt="" /> + +<div style="height: 4em;"><br /><br /><br /><br /></div> + +<p class="pcenter">6</p> +<div id="page6" style="width:500px!important; background: url(images/w-m1.png); background-repeat: repeat-y;"> +<img src="images/w-t1.png" height="20" style="width:100%;" alt="" /> + +<p> +Tobacco so destroys the sensations and functions of the mouth that, +mild natural drinks, are not tasted; hence one craves strong drinks, +something that will goad the deadened nerves into action. It produces +a state of exhaustion in the whole system that calls for an artificial +stimulus. Alcohol, ever true to its companion, steps in and supplies +this artificial stimulus. It is a scientific fact that tobacco is +responsible for more drunkards than alcohol. I know from my own +experience, that smoking naturally calls for drinking. Walk through your +town and look at the signs, and you will see them allied under the same +colors, "liquors and cigars," "beer and pipes,"—always. When biddy can +furnish but one decanter there you can get 'two cigars for a cent.' +When a party of old gout-toed wine-bibers make a supper what do they +do? Drink and smoke. When a party of Indians, trappers or soldiers gets +to town "to have a blow out," what do they do? Drink and smoke. When +"bloods" go out on a 'bender' what do they do? Drink and smoke. When +low unprincipled men, thieves, villians, rowdies, rakes, murderers, the +filth and offscourings of humanity meet together to carouse or design +devilish schemes, what do they do? Drink and smoke. +</p> + +<div class="figure"> +<img src="images/ill-006.png" width="300" height="20" alt="" /> +</div> + +<h1> + FREE! +</h1> +<p> +All new subscribers to the <span style="font-size:180%; font-weight:bold;">GOSPEL MONITOR</span> on and after March +the first 1881, if they request it, will receive one copy of +the <span style="font-size:180%; font-weight: bold;">"RULINGS of NATURE"</span> free. +</p> +<p> +<span style="font-size:140%;">THE GOSPEL MONITOR</span> is a monthly publication devoted to religion, logic, +and science, 50 cts. a year.

As the chameleon +takes its color from the object it is attached to, so does the mind of +man, from the body it is attached to. No wonder, then, that a brain +poisoned, will suggest poisoned thoughts, criminal thoughts and acts. +O that preachers might know this, or, knowing it, might act on it in +their efforts to regenerate man's moral nature. Let them commence at the +root of evil to remove it. Evil, like a Cancer, while the root remains +the canker grows worse. Mind and body is united in every effort, if the +main spring is weakened so is the stroke. "A bitter fountain can not +send forth a pleasant stream." +</p> +<p> +When we undertake to reform a man the first thing is to see that the +brain is healthy; not poisoned and diseased. For an unhealthy organ can +not perform healthy functions. You might as well try to improve the +sense of smell with the nose stuffed full of snuff, as to try to improve +the moral sense while it is poisoned with the essence of snuff. Try to +change a man's heart that is palpitating with poison and lusting for +more! If you wish to be a successful soul doctor, you must commence at +the seat of all moral diseases; a poisoned and disordered mind. Take the +poison out of him first, and keep it out for at least thirty days, until +the brain can begin to have its natural healthy action, and then he will +arise and walk in dry places seeking rest. +</p> +<p> +We affirm, and shall prove in the course of our lecture, that tobacco +obtudes and destroys the moral as well as every other sense of the human +intellect. Proof. When you see a habitual tobacco user in the company of +his friends you will see him either squirting his poison fluid over his +friend's hearth, house, floor, and stove, and breathing his loathsome +poisonous breath into the face of his friend, or pouring his poison +smoke into the eyes, nose, and lungs of all present. When all present +are coughing strangling and almost out of breath; they say please don't +smoke any more in the house. Then comes the oft' repeated "Excuse me +I did not think." Can a moral man so far intrude upon the health, +happiness and peace, even of a race of cannibals? "I did not think," is +an acknowledgment that his thinking faculties are not in order.

How can a man who stinks like a rank tobacco-pipe, call +himself a fit vessel to stand before the Lord to represent God and the +Souls of men, to proclaim the word of God while his tongue is reeking in +deadly poison and his brain befuddled with its influence? O, thou worse +than Baalam! Would that every ass might rebuke thee. +</p> +<p> +It is a common thing for temperance lecturers to denounce alcohol on the +strength of tobacco, that is, lecture with a cud in their mouths. Now +this is mean. There should be honor among thieves. Don't laugh at and +taunt your brother, wallowing there in the mud, while your own mouth +is full of a thousand times filthier filth. Don't grow poetical on the +"drunkard's aspen hand," when your own poisoned nerves will quiver worse +than his if you should abstain from your quid three hours. You have yet +to learn that tobacco produces delirium tremens, which you so much love +to picture to the drunkard, with all the glowing colors of pandemonium. +</p> +<br /> +</div> +<img src="images/w-b1.png" height="20" style="width:500px;" alt="" /> + +<div style="height: 4em;"><br /><br /><br /><br /></div> + +<p class="pcenter">9</p> +<div id="page9" style="width:500px!important; background: url(images/w-m1.png); background-repeat: repeat-y;"> +<img src="images/w-t1.png" height="20" style="width:100%;" alt="" /> + +<p> +Dr. Mussey says he was acquainted with a gentleman in Vermont who +conscientiously abstained from all intoxicating drinks and yet died of +delirium tremens. Dr. Lauren and many other medical writers speak of +similar cases within their knowledge. Many of our best physicians concur +the opinion in that many of the cases of delirium tremens imputed to +alcohol are mostly due to the use of tobacco. +</p> +<p> +You ought never listen to a self styled temperance-man who lectures a +drinker, with his mouth full of tobacco juice. The drinker if he uses +no tobacco is the most temperate man of the two. It is a gross insult +to an audience to eject on them alcoholic vituperation and nicotianic +expectoration at the same time. That audience should say; first go +reform thy-self thou intemperate SLAVE of poison! +</p> +<p> +We have no room for the introduction of proof of our assertions on the +evils of tobacco. But if you wish to have an abundance of evidence that +tobacco produces the diseases which we herein mention you will just +please to consult Dr. Lizars, he will furnish you with cases and proof. +Read Dr. Mussey's 'Essay on Tobacco,' published by the American Tract +Society. And here let me ask all who have the good of humanity at heart, +to place this lecture in the hands of every one of your tobacconized +neighbors. The circulation of anti-tobacco and anti-alcohol tracts will +do more good than all other tracts besides. For those are the root and +foundation of almost every disorder of mind and body, even upon those +who never used it: for it is written: "I will visit the sins and +iniquities of the fathers upon the children and upon the children's +children, unto the third and fourth generation," of them that violate +the laws of nature and their own being. +</p> +<p> +A wise man hath said look not on the wine when it is red. But a wiser +than he hath decreed that they only who seek after wisdom shall find it, +that fools shall be afflicted because of their transgressions, and that +whosoever refuseth instruction shall destroy his own soul. +</p> +<p> +He that is capable of reflection must perceive that whatever disorders +the nerves disorders the brain and the mind, also the morals, then it +corrupts society, possibly for generations to come. You must also +perceive that Life and Death, Health and Disease, are alike transmitted +with the germ of the unborn being. That a diseased and poisoned body can +not transmit a healthy germ. You see that the seed of an apple that grew +on a hollow tree will never produce a sound tree. Then why expect an +affected and poisoned body and mind, to produce those that are active +and strong? +</p> +<br /> +</div> +<img src="images/w-b1.png" height="20" style="width:500px;" alt="" /> + +<div style="height: 4em;"><br /><br /><br /><br /></div> + +<p class="pcenter">10</p> + +<div id="page10"> +<div style="width:500px!important; background: url(images/w-m1.png); background-repeat: repeat-y; padding:0;margin:0;"> +<img src="images/w-t1.png" height="20" style="width:100%;" alt="" /> + +<p> +It is not on the external condition in which you find your self placed, +but on the part which you are to act, that your welfare or unhappiness, +your honor or dishonor, your health or diseases depends.

Freedom of mind and body insures health, +long life and happiness. When the whole of the machinery, mental and +physical, is clean, its strength and elasticity is so much better, its +retentiveness is much more vivid and comprehensive that one is mostly +spared the pain of irretrievable errors. +</p> +<p> +If instead of exerting reflection in so critical a moment you deliver +yourselves up to levity, sloth and slavery of habit and poison, what can +you expect to follow? Will wisdom tread the path of folly? Can you thus +abuse both the mind and body, and call yourselves unspotted from the +world, or call yourselves the children of a pure God?

Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/18935-h/images/001-a.png b/18935-h/images/001-a.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..2c6a5f7 --- /dev/null +++ b/18935-h/images/001-a.png diff --git a/18935-h/images/001-b.png b/18935-h/images/001-b.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..fa9c683 --- /dev/null +++ b/18935-h/images/001-b.png diff --git a/18935-h/images/001-bb.png b/18935-h/images/001-bb.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..7ea144b --- /dev/null +++ b/18935-h/images/001-bb.png diff --git a/18935-h/images/001-c.png b/18935-h/images/001-c.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..cee1287 --- /dev/null +++ b/18935-h/images/001-c.png diff --git a/18935-h/images/001-m.png b/18935-h/images/001-m.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8710b4d --- /dev/null +++ b/18935-h/images/001-m.png diff --git a/18935-h/images/001-t.png b/18935-h/images/001-t.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..736baa1 --- /dev/null +++ b/18935-h/images/001-t.png diff --git a/18935-h/images/002a.png b/18935-h/images/002a.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..45ecc25 --- /dev/null +++ b/18935-h/images/002a.png diff --git a/18935-h/images/011-b.png b/18935-h/images/011-b.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c161e09 --- /dev/null +++ b/18935-h/images/011-b.png diff --git a/18935-h/images/011-m.png b/18935-h/images/011-m.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..828f42f --- /dev/null +++ b/18935-h/images/011-m.png diff --git a/18935-h/images/011-t.png b/18935-h/images/011-t.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c3e8a98 --- /dev/null +++ b/18935-h/images/011-t.png diff --git a/18935-h/images/012-b.png b/18935-h/images/012-b.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..53c1acc --- /dev/null +++ b/18935-h/images/012-b.png diff --git a/18935-h/images/012-dec.png b/18935-h/images/012-dec.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..3865395 --- /dev/null +++ b/18935-h/images/012-dec.png diff --git a/18935-h/images/012-m.png b/18935-h/images/012-m.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..4ebf221 --- /dev/null +++ b/18935-h/images/012-m.png diff --git a/18935-h/images/012-t.png b/18935-h/images/012-t.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..887c092 --- /dev/null +++ b/18935-h/images/012-t.png diff --git a/18935-h/images/b-wave.png b/18935-h/images/b-wave.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..4e3c7be --- /dev/null +++ b/18935-h/images/b-wave.png diff --git a/18935-h/images/ill-006.png b/18935-h/images/ill-006.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b2584e9 --- /dev/null +++ b/18935-h/images/ill-006.png diff --git a/18935-h/images/ill-010.png b/18935-h/images/ill-010.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..fdcd7b0 --- /dev/null +++ b/18935-h/images/ill-010.png diff --git a/18935-h/images/m-wave.png b/18935-h/images/m-wave.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..9d1fa5b --- /dev/null +++ b/18935-h/images/m-wave.png diff --git a/18935-h/images/t-wave.png b/18935-h/images/t-wave.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..1ec21ac --- /dev/null +++ b/18935-h/images/t-wave.png diff --git a/18935-h/images/w-b1.png b/18935-h/images/w-b1.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..4a93aba --- /dev/null +++ b/18935-h/images/w-b1.png diff --git a/18935-h/images/w-m1.png b/18935-h/images/w-m1.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..4d1991e --- /dev/null +++ b/18935-h/images/w-m1.png diff --git a/18935-h/images/w-t1.png b/18935-h/images/w-t1.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..ab12c84 --- /dev/null +++ b/18935-h/images/w-t1.png diff --git a/18935.txt b/18935.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..a763221 --- /dev/null +++ b/18935.txt @@ -0,0 +1,1143 @@ +The Project Gutenberg EBook of Vanity, All Is Vanity, by Anonymous + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

MAN, COURAGE!! | +| | +| | +| "Strive; for the grasp of the destroyer is upon you, and if you be not | +| wrenched away, it will palsy you and crush you. Strive for the foe has | +| seized upon your vitals: he holds possession of your Fort and renders | +| your will a thing to be controled instead of a controling power. It | +| chains the intellect and bids defiance to your better judgment. Strive | +| like one who knows he has grappled with Death and the victory must be | +| won or self be lost!" | +| | +| TOBACCO should never be mentioned except as a poison, one of the most | +| active and fatal of poisons; it is the only herb known to possess two | +| active deadly poisons, NICOTINA and NICOTIANIN: It is really so fatal | +| that doctors seldom administer it, and never internally. For an over | +| dose of Opium, Arsenic, or Strychnine, when taken in time, there is a | +| cure, but for an over dose of tobacco there is none; its effect on the | +| system is Paleness, Nausea, Giddiness, Lessening of the heart's action,| +| Vomiting, Purging, Cold-sweating, and utter Prostration, such as no | +| other poison can induce, then death! Its evils are numerous we will | +| notice a few as follows. | +| | +| 1. It impregnates the whole system with two of the most fatal poisons, | +| NICOTINA, and NICOTIANIN. | +| | +| 2. With either of which the system is subjected to continuous repair, | +| therefore Doctors seldom advise one to quit it. It is too much like | +| taking bread and butter from their babe's mouths. | +| | +| 3. It enslaves a man so that it requires a powerful exertion to break | +| its chains and fetters to regain their freedom. | +| | +| 4. It causes dyspepsia by spitting off the saliva that ought to go to | +| digest the food, aid the digestive system, and to regulate and heal | +| the bowels. | +| | +| 5. When you breathe the smoke it produces asthma and lays the | +| foundation for a train of other fatal diseases. | +| | +| 6. In breathing the two poisons into the lungs, often produces | +| paralysis of the lungs and consumption. | +| | ++------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + + 3 ++------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +| | +| 7. It gradually weakens and destroys the whole nervous system and is | +| the cause of a large majority of cases of Insanity, which can readily | +| be found in all stages, among those who use tobacco. | +| | +| 8. It makes one appear to be ill-bred and extremely distasteful in | +| society. | +| | +| 9. It is said by critics to entirely destroy a certain faculty of the | +| mind. | +| | +| 10. It renders one's breath very repugnant to a companion. | +| | +| 11. It is continually drawing on the pocket for the small change that | +| might be laid up. | +| | +| 12. When taken as snuff it wonderfully impairs and often paralyzing | +| and destroys the Olfactory nerves and deprives one of the sense of | +| smell. | +| | +| 13. It creates a craving for Alcoholic drinks, it prostrates the | +| system to such an extent that nature calls for aid by stimulants, | +| hence the craving for drinks, peppers, mustards, &c., &c. | +| | +| 14. It creates an inordinate desire for excitement such as Noose and | +| Novel reading, and a loathing of Science and Philosophy. | +| | +| 15. The smoke has a wonderful tendency to weaken and impair the | +| eye-sight. | +| | +| 16. Its use is an evil example to the young who look to us for advice | +| and protection from evil. | +| | +| 17. It decomposes and devitalizes the electrovita fluid in the human | +| system. | +| | +| 18. The system of the tobacco users is always in a morbid condition, | +| as proof when you are sick you can't use it; for be it known that two | +| morbid conditions can not exist in the system at the same time; one | +| will drive out the other. | +| | +| 19. The poison is transmitted to the unborn infant, many times | +| impairing its vital organs and causing a pre-mature death: and I once | +| heard a Physician of much learning and practic, Dr. NILES. Say that | +| there never was nor ever could be a HEALTHY CHILD born of parents who | +| were habitual tobacco users. And I apprehend that every doctor of note | +| in the land will witness the same thing. | +| | +| TOBACCO EATERS! Is the most appropriate name for the users of Tobacco; | +| as much so as the vile disgusting loathsome green worm that swallows | +| the poison leaf into its stomach. For the poison of the quid and the | +| smoke is taken up by the blood vessels and absorbents of the mouth, | ++------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + + 4 ++------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +| and carried into the circulation, even in a more virulent form than if | +| introduced by the stomach. | +| | +| Every doctor will tell you that he is more afraid to give tobacco, | +| even as an enema, than any other poison in the Materia Medica: he | +| never gives it by the stomach. Sometimes, in violent spasmodic colic, | +| or strangulation of the bowels, or spasmodic croup, tobacco is used | +| externally as a poultice, and if you are not very careful, it will | +| kill your patient even in this form. Many a colt and calf has been | +| killed by rubbing them with tobacco juice to kill the lice. Tobacco is | +| death to all kinds of parasitical vermin; it will kill the most | +| venomous reptiles very quick. Many children have been killed by the | +| application of tobacco for lice titter sores &c. Dr. Mussey tells of | +| a woman that rubbed a little tobacco juice on a ring worm, not larger | +| than a 25 cts. on her little girl's face; and if a physician had not | +| been quickly summoned the child would have died. He tells of a father | +| who killed his son by putting tobacco spit on a sore on his head. You | +| would do well to read what various medical men have written on the | +| subject. Every other poison vegetable is content with one poison; but | +| tobacco has two of the most deadly poisons in the vegetable kingdom. | +| This is no scare-crow put up to frighten you Tobacco Eaters; if you | +| don't believe me just examine a vegetable chemistry, and to convince | +| your self more thoroughly, just drop one drop of nicotina or | +| nicotianin on the tongue of a Cat or a Dog, that you don't wish to | +| kill by the tedious method or shooting or drowning, and see what the | +| effect will be. See if Strychnine will do its work so quick. | +| | +| Doctors: men whose profession is to play with poisons as with so many | +| deadly vipers, stand back and behold its poisoned fangs with horrow, | +| not daring to lay hold on it and use it as a medicine for his sick | +| wife or child. No he shuns it with a deathly horrow! Though himself | +| may be a SLAVE to the slower action of its devitalizing powers on mind | +| and body. | +| | +| An over dose of tobacco is incureable because of its peculiar effect | +| upon the system. The effect is known by a deathly paleness and | +| sickness, then the air suddenly becomes too warm and oppressive, the | +| patient desires a cool situation, a drink of cold water and a fresh | +| breeze, the strangest of all is at the same time the patient is so | +| stimulated the action of the heart decreases, and to give a stimulant | +| to increase it, it increases its virulence in proportion to the | +| | ++------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + + 5 ++------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +| | +| increase of the suffocating and sickening sensation: and to give the | +| medicine to allay that, still decreases the motion of the heart's | +| action. Thus an antidote is instantly transformed into fuel to feed | +| the unquenchable flame that is already devouring the human vitals. | +| | +| It is no use in telling you by this time that I talk not about tobacco | +| "like a book," but like one who has been tobacconized. For I have been | +| one of those unfortunate boys who never had an opportunity of learning | +| any thing except from that cross old pedagogue Experience, who | +| invariably compelled me to work out my own problems, often have I in | +| scalding tears of bitter regret. | +| | +| Tobacco like alcohol gives a temporary stimulus, and to slack off the | +| use of it, it will produce similar effects. | +| | +| Nicotina and Nicotianin are the proper fathers to the following | +| diseases,--Dispepsia, Water-brash, Cancer, Ramollissement, Impotence, | +| Fatuity, Caries, Consumption, Laryngitis, Cardialgia, Angina Pectoris, | +| Neuralgia, Paralysis, Amaurosis, Deafness, Liver Complaint, Apoplexy, | +| Insanity, Hippochondriasis, "Horrors," "Blues," and so on through the | +| greater part of the Nosological family. | +| | +| Because you are not killed outright you flatter your self that you are | +| not poisoned, but I tell you that you are, and you are dying by inches | +| or by sixteenths of inches if you please, how ever small the effect on | +| you it has some effect and finally by a continual pressing of that | +| effect it will kill you. Put your ear to the huge locust tree and hear | +| the gentle grating of a bore worm. Thou insignificant worm! What dost | +| thou hope to do with that monster tree? Grate, grate, grate! For years | +| that almost imperceptible grating goes on, while the mighty locust | +| lifts its towering branches in fancied security. Finally, a storm | +| comes and the locust hopes to brave it as he has many others; but, | +| alas, its strength is undermined; Its vitals are eaten away, and it | +| falls,--a victim to the tiny worm. Thus does tobacco, or alcohol, or | +| opium, or any other poison when taken habitually, undermine the | +| system, slowly, imperceptibly,--but surely. | +| | +| Go into any tobacco factory of cigars, snuff, or plug, and bring out | +| a healthy man if you can. | +| | +| Tobacco so destroys the sensations and functions of the mouth that, | +| mild natural drinks, are not tasted; hence one craves strong drinks, | +| something that will goad the deadened nerves into action. It produces | +| a state of exhaustion in the whole system that calls for an artificial | +| | ++------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + + 6 ++------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +| | +| stimulus. Alcohol, ever true to its companion, steps in and supplies | +| this artificial stimulus. It is a scientific fact that tobacco is | +| responsible for more drunkards than alcohol. I know from my own | +| experience, that smoking naturally calls for drinking. Walk through | +| your town and look at the signs, and you will see them allied under | +| the same colors, "liquors and cigars," "beer and pipes,"--always. When | +| biddy can furnish but one decanter there you can get 'two cigars for | +| a cent.' When a party of old gout-toed wine-bibers make a supper what | +| do they do? Drink and smoke. When a party of Indians, trappers or | +| soldiers gets to town "to have a blow out," what do they do? Drink and | +| smoke. When "bloods" go out on a 'bender' what do they do? Drink and | +| smoke. When low unprincipled men, thieves, villians, rowdies, rakes, | +| murderers, the filth and offscourings of humanity meet together to | +| carouse or design devilish schemes, what do they do? Drink and smoke. | +| | +| ---*-------*=======*=======*-------*--- | +| | +| | +| | +| | +| FREE! | +| | +| | +| All new subscribers to the GOSPEL MONITOR on and after March the first | +| 1881, if they request it, will receive one copy of the "RULINGS of | +| NATURE" free. | +| | +| THE GOSPEL MONITOR is a monthly publication devoted to religion, | +| logic, and science, 50 cts. a year.

As the chameleon | +| takes its color from the object it is attached to, so does the mind of | +| man, from the body it is attached to. No wonder, then, that a brain | +| poisoned, will suggest poisoned thoughts, criminal thoughts and acts. | +| O that preachers might know this, or, knowing it, might act on it in | +| their efforts to regenerate man's moral nature. Let them commence at | +| the root of evil to remove it. Evil, like a Cancer, while the root | +| remains the canker grows worse. Mind and body is united in every | +| effort, if the main spring is weakened so is the stroke. "A bitter | +| fountain can not send forth a pleasant stream." | +| | +| When we undertake to reform a man the first thing is to see that the | +| brain is healthy; not poisoned and diseased. For an unhealthy organ | +| can not perform healthy functions. You might as well try to improve | +| the sense of smell with the nose stuffed full of snuff, as to try to | +| improve the moral sense while it is poisoned with the essence of | +| snuff. Try to change a man's heart that is palpitating with poison and | +| lusting for more! If you wish to be a successful soul doctor, you must | +| commence at the seat of all moral diseases; a poisoned and disordered | +| mind. Take the poison out of him first, and keep it out for at least | +| thirty days, until the brain can begin to have its natural healthy | +| action, and then he will arise and walk in dry places seeking rest. | +| | +| We affirm, and shall prove in the course of our lecture, that tobacco | +| obtudes and destroys the moral as well as every other sense of the | +| human intellect. Proof. When you see a habitual tobacco user in the | +| company of his friends you will see him either squirting his poison | +| fluid over his friend's hearth, house, floor, and stove, and breathing | +| his loathsome poisonous breath into the face of his friend, or pouring | +| his poison smoke into the eyes, nose, and lungs of all present. When | +| all present are coughing strangling and almost out of breath; they say | +| please don't smoke any more in the house. Then comes the oft' repeated | +| "Excuse me I did not think." Can a moral man so far intrude upon the | +| health, happiness and peace, even of a race of cannibals? "I did not | +| | ++------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + + 8 ++------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +| | +| think," is an acknowledgment that his thinking faculties are not in | +| order. That is what we know. | +| | +| Now, it is no use to tell me that a man who can't think, what he is | +| doing in small moral and social points of good breeding, with which he | +| is every day familiar. How much less qualified is he for deep moral | +| and intellectual reasoning which he is entirely unacquainted with? | +| | +| Furthermore. If he does think, his refined and gentle humane feelings | +| are so benumbed as to cause him not to care, it shows his spiritual | +| nature is too much deadened to teach the spirit of a pure and | +| undefiled religion which teach kindness love and attention to all men. | +| | +| A poisoned body, especially when chronic, deadens the nerves and clogs | +| the intellect, darkens the mind, smokes and blackens the soul to such | +| an extent he can neither teach or understand as a man ought to do by | +| nature. | +| | +| What think you of a preacher of Christ with a cud in his mouth | +| squirting poison at the souls he is trying to save? Is the thing | +| possible? Talk of distilling the essence of Christianity through a | +| poison worm of tobacco! O, thou tobacco-eating hypocrite! Can a body | +| that is defiled with poison and polluted with the sin of self-abuse be | +| a fit dwelling place for the Holy Ghost? How can a man who stinks like | +| a rank tobacco-pipe, call himself a fit vessel to stand before the | +| Lord to represent God and the Souls of men, to proclaim the word of | +| God while his tongue is reeking in deadly poison and his brain | +| befuddled with its influence? O, thou worse than Baalam! Would that | +| every ass might rebuke thee. | +| | +| It is a common thing for temperance lecturers to denounce alcohol on | +| the strength of tobacco, that is, lecture with a cud in their mouths. | +| Now this is mean. There should be honor among thieves. Don't laugh at | +| and taunt your brother, wallowing there in the mud, while your own | +| mouth is full of a thousand times filthier filth. Don't grow poetical | +| on the "drunkard's aspen hand," when your own poisoned nerves will | +| quiver worse than his if you should abstain from your quid three | +| hours. You have yet to learn that tobacco produces delirium tremens, | +| which you so much love to picture to the drunkard, with all the | +| glowing colors of pandemonium. | +| | +| Dr. Mussey says he was acquainted with a gentleman in Vermont who | +| conscientiously abstained from all intoxicating drinks and yet died of | +| delirium tremens. Dr. Lauren and many other medical writers speak of | +| similar cases within their knowledge. Many of our best physicians | +| | ++------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + + 9 ++------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +| | +| concur the opinion in that many of the cases of delirium tremens | +| imputed to alcohol are mostly due to the use of tobacco. | +| | +| You ought never listen to a self styled temperance-man who lectures a | +| drinker, with his mouth full of tobacco juice. The drinker if he uses | +| no tobacco is the most temperate man of the two. It is a gross insult | +| to an audience to eject on them alcoholic vituperation and nicotianic | +| expectoration at the same time. That audience should say; first go | +| reform thy-self thou intemperate SLAVE of poison! | +| | +| We have no room for the introduction of proof of our assertions on the | +| evils of tobacco. But if you wish to have an abundance of evidence | +| that tobacco produces the diseases which we herein mention you will | +| just please to consult Dr. Lizars, he will furnish you with cases and | +| proof. Read Dr. Mussey's 'Essay on Tobacco,' published by the American | +| Tract Society. And here let me ask all who have the good of humanity | +| at heart, to place this lecture in the hands of every one of your | +| tobacconized neighbors. The circulation of anti-tobacco and | +| anti-alcohol tracts will do more good than all other tracts besides. | +| For those are the root and foundation of almost every disorder of mind | +| and body, even upon those who never used it: for it is written: "I | +| will visit the sins and iniquities of the fathers upon the children | +| and upon the children's children, unto the third and fourth | +| generation," of them that violate the laws of nature and their own | +| being. | +| | +| A wise man hath said look not on the wine when it is red. But a wiser | +| than he hath decreed that they only who seek after wisdom shall find | +| it, that fools shall be afflicted because of their transgressions, and | +| that whosoever refuseth instruction shall destroy his own soul. | +| | +| He that is capable of reflection must perceive that whatever disorders | +| the nerves disorders the brain and the mind, also the morals, then it | +| corrupts society, possibly for generations to come. You must also | +| perceive that Life and Death, Health and Disease, are alike | +| transmitted with the germ of the unborn being. That a diseased and | +| poisoned body can not transmit a healthy germ. You see that the seed | +| of an apple that grew on a hollow tree will never produce a sound | +| tree. Then why expect an affected and poisoned body and mind, to | +| produce those that are active and strong? | +| | +| It is not on the external condition in which you find your self | +| placed, but on the part which you are to act, that your welfare or | +| unhappiness, your honor or dishonor, your health or diseases depends. | +| | ++------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + + 10 ++------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +| | +| When beginning to act that part, what can be of greater interest to | +| you, than to throw off the poison chains of mental slavery, keeping | +| both mind and body free from such abject servitude. Freedom of mind | +| and body insures health, long life and happiness. When the whole of | +| the machinery, mental and physical, is clean, its strength and | +| elasticity is so much better, its retentiveness is much more vivid and | +| comprehensive that one is mostly spared the pain of irretrievable | +| errors. | +| | +| If instead of exerting reflection in so critical a moment you deliver | +| yourselves up to levity, sloth and slavery of habit and poison, what | +| can you expect to follow? Will wisdom tread the path of folly? Can you | +| thus abuse both the mind and body, and call yourselves unspotted from | +| the world, or call yourselves the children of a pure God? O thou | +| spiritual blind guide! Where are you leading the people to by precept | +| and example? You have led and allowed the nations to walk into the | +| ditch. | +| | +| Habit is harder to serve than a king, and its taxes are greater, for | +| they not only come yearly, but daily and hourly, on body, mind and | +| pocket. You are bound in her chains and must answer her calls. | +| | +| O man of sorrow, whose life is interwoven with the ills of the earth! | +| Could I but speak to you in the language of the truth or had I but | +| room to draw the picture as it is, I think your reason would revolt at | +| its use, and break its chains, bidding defiance to the deadly grasp of | +| its seditious habits. | +| | +| ----When you become satisfied that tobacco is injurious to you. If you | +| have not courage to divorce the habit at once and had rather steal | +| away from its grasp unconsciously and without the desire for tobacco, | +| or the use of medicine, just send 50 cts. in money or stamps to the | +| office of the GOSPEL MONITOR. HANNIBAL, MO. And we will send you the | +| RULINGS OF NATURE.

The body is the house that the man lives | +| in, if the house is damaged in any way the man proper which is the | +| mind; through sympathy is sure to suffer from such injuries. | +| | +| The power of the mind over the body both in disease and in health, is | +| utterly beyond all the modern scientific conceptions. The mind has so | +| long been clogged and hindered by narcotics and over stimulants, that | +| it yet remains in its infancy. Every hindrance prevents the growth and | +| development of the mind. The body may soon attain to its greatest | +| development, but the mind never reaches its perfection in this sphere. | +| | +| Age and experience fortifies and strengthens the mind, they give it | +| greatness and power; every influence possible should be brought to | +| bear upon the intellect to improve the mind and advance it.--The ages | +| past have been more to hinder and to cramp the intellect, to hinder | +| reason and progress than to favor it.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5.
