Dust tJwu art) and unto dust shalt thou return ? 

 From tbe moment wo live, we prepare for death, by 

 the adhesion of dust, mixed with all. our aliments, to 

 our native dust; so that whatever we eat or drink, 

 to prolong life, must sap the foundation of it. 

 Thus in spite of all the wisdom of man and all the 

 precautions which can be used, every morsel we take, 

 poisons while it feeds, and brings us nearer to the dust 

 from whence we came.
