CRANMER, Editor and proprietor of the | | (G)ospel (M)onitor, (H)annibal (M)issouri. | | | | | | WILL HEALTH REIGN IN A DISEASED BODY? | | WISDOM TREADS NO PATH WITH FOLLEY. | | | | _The MIND is all there is! It feels, knows, moves, acts, | | thinks, and sees._ | | | | The mind has supreme control of the body in sickness and in health. | | See the _Rulings of Nature_. | | | | Habit is harder to serve than a king, its taxes are greater, 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. | | | | ---*-------*=======*=======*-------*--- | | | | The RULINGS OF NATURE we'll send you. | | We'll give you the work of the brain. | | Cast the glory of heaven about you, | | And arise for your Works are inane, | | You are dead said the scoffs of the stranger; | | A laugh for the cynic and clown. | | Go look; from the King to the granger, | | See the slaves the Tobacco-leaf bound. | | * * * * * | | O'er the graves we have marched in the past time, | | Still praying for dews of reform | | While raining down showers of poison, | | On those we should keep from its harm. | | | | | | ---*-------*===( Read. )===*-------*--- | | | | | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 2 +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |[Illustration] | | | | | | | | TOBACCO | | | | NICOTINA Nicotianin. | | POISONS! | | | | COURAGE! 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.

Read the Monitor. | | | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 7 +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | | | | | | | CHAPTER 2. | | | | 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. 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 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.
