| 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 |

| 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. |
