"Ha, thou Kaintock!" exclaimed Menocal, "thou art the taller and the larger, but I am the stronger, as I shall quickly prove!" The size of Henry acted as an irritant upon Menocal, already flushed with intoxicants, and he seized the youth by the waist in an attempt to hurl him to the floor and thus prove his superior strength.
Dr. B. W. Richardson in Diseases of Modern Life. Other Results of Intoxicants upon the Lungs. But a more potent injury to the lungs comes from another cause. The lungs are the arena where is carried on the ceaseless interchange of elements that is necessary to the processes of life.
When, however, a whiff of lhiamba is taken by them in the morning before starting on a march, the effect seems to be good, enabling them to get over the ground easily and to endure a long march without being exhausted. But a small tot of rum is better for them by far. Many other intoxicants made from bush are known to and used by the witch doctors.
With many, drink consumes from a fourth to one-half of their entire earnings. Is it, then, any wonder that so much poverty and suffering are to be found among them? The causes that produce crime and pauperism in our own country, work the same disastrous results in other lands where intoxicants are used.

Duffy, of Keene, New Hampshire, says "The Boston Herald," was well known for his life-long total abstinence from intoxicants, which seemed somewhat at variance with the fact that his nose was very red. On one occasion, when on business in a liquor saloon in his neighborhood, a drummer came in to sell cigars.
What a voice, now that he heard it in its normal tone! "Yes, Madam; I have ridden and driven something like ten years." "Where?" "In the West, mostly." "You are English?" "No, Madam." He wondered how much she had heard at the police-court that morning. "I am American born." "Are you addicted to the use of intoxicants?" mentally noting the clearness of the whites of his eyes.
The distillers and brewers dominate the republican party and they are the controlling party at Yale and will desolate and enslave our darling boys. I went to see the president of Yale, Professor Hadley, and I asked him about these things. He said he thought the intoxicants were "fruit juices". I spoke of the smoking.
