Speaking of the causes leading to drunkenness, he says: "Occupation has a powerful controlling influence in developing or warding off the disease.

In-door life in all kinds of business, is a predisposing cause, from the fact that nearly the whole force of the stimulant is concentrated and expended upon the brain and nervous system.

A proper amount of out-door exercise, or labor, tends to throw off the stimulus more rapidly through the various functional operations of the system.

Occupation of all kinds, mental or muscular, assist the nervous system to retard or resist the action of stimulants--other conditions being equal.

Want of employment, or voluntary idleness is the great nursery of this disease." TOBACCO.
"_The use of tobacco predisposes the system to alcoholism,_ and it has an effect upon the brain and nervous system similar to that of alcohol.
The use of tobacco, if not prohibited, should be discouraged.
