    bodily vitality , but I do not believe that there is a greater superstition than to suppose that these liquors can give men a greater capacity for

    O - - o M ml mental ^ or bodily exertion , and in this I am supported by the highest medical testimony / The authors drawn upon are of all shades of

    political aud religious opinion , and the little book thus shows , in a remarkably clear way , how complete is the consensus as to the benefit to be

    derived from temperance , if not from total abstinence . From Messrs . "WardLock & Co . — Bettany ' d
