MORAL AND SPIRITUAL VIEW. 199 



and that multitudes of reformed inebriates have 

 fallen again by its use? In point here is the wish 

 of the poor, doubly-wronged Indian : M I want 

 three things, — all the rum in the world, all the 

 tobacco in the world, and then more rum. I 

 smoke, because it makes me love to drink." 



A reformed inebriate, in relating how he first 

 signed the pledge, says: "I soon found that in 

 renouncing one stimulant I used a double quantity 

 of another ; or, in the words of Theodore Weld, I 

 had f swapped brandy for tobacco.' Then, im- 

 pelled by the feeling, c drink I must, and drink I 

 will,' I went back to the gutter." Two years later, 

 hearing a lecturer affirm that the Washingtonians 

 who apostatized were tobacco-sots almost to a 

 man, and that the pledge, to be safe, must inter- 

 dict both drug and drink, he took the double 

 pledge, and had remained firm, but with an in- 

 creasing conviction that " you can't cure a drunk- 

 ard while a slave to his pipe ." 



To the same effect, Dr. Justin Edwards de- 

 clared : "Not much more can be done in behalf of 

 the temperance cause till there is an anti-narcotic 

 movement, particularly against tobacco, the hand- 

 maid and ally of intemperance." 



Says the well-known temperance-worker, E. C. 

 Delavan : "I have had my fears for the safety 

 of the temperance cause through the insidious 

 influence of tobacco. It is my opinion that while 

 its use continues, intemperance will continue to 

 curse the world."
