HARM DONE BY ALCOHOL IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE BODY.

Raw alcohol does not do much harm to people because it is too strong for
them to drink much of it; but the alcohol hidden in cider, ale, wine,
whiskey, and other alcoholic drinks kills not less than _sixty thousand_
persons in this country every year, besides those who die from its use in

destroy all the dogs of the neighborhood; but when a drunkard dies from
delirium tremens or alcohol craziness, how few take any notice of the cause

people? Let us see. Where does what we drink go after it has been put into
the mouth?--"Into the stomach." If it were the right thing to go into the
stomach, into what would it be changed?--"Into something which helps to

can do nothing with alcohol, so it drives it along to the heart; the heart
sends it to the lungs; the lungs throw some of it out through the breath,
which smells of the vile stuff that ha
