REV. J. MORRISON, D. D., PRINCIPAL OF THE EVANGELICAL UNION COLLEGE. For my kind of work, I have found it absolutely necessary to abstain altogether from the use of both alcohol and tobacco. J. MORRISON. May 11, 1882. MR. AUGUSTUS MONGREDIEN. I am 75 years of age. I have smoked moderately all my life; and for the last fifty years have never, except in rare and short instances of illness, retired to bed without one tumbler of whiskey toddy. You will therefore see that I am utterly incompetent to pronounce on the respective effects, on the mind and body, of moderate indulgence, and of total abstinence, for I have never tried the latter. A. MONGREDIEN. March 10, 1882. |
