| TOBACCO FROM A MORAL STAND-POINT. |
| |
| |
| Go to our jails and penitentiaries and you will find their inmates, |
| almost to a man, tobacco-eaters and alcohol drinkers. 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.
