70 MANUAL OF NATURE STUDY. 



The following rules are quoted from JoHonnot 

 and Bauton's Lessons in Hygiene, page 49 : — 



"I. We should not drink cider, because it is 

 the nature of the alcohol in cider to create an appe- 

 tite for more alcohol. 



"II. Cider deadens the senses and tends to 

 make its drinkers ill-tempered and careless about 

 doing right. 



" III. We should get our grape juice by eating 

 the healthful and delicious grape. 



" IV. When the grape juice has been squeezed 

 out and its sugar turned into alcohol, it is a pois- 

 onous drink, and we should not take it. 



*' V. Home-made wines, if produced by ferment- 

 ation, are unsafe drinks, because they contain al- 

 cohol. 



" VI. It is the nature of alcohol, in even the 

 weakest wines, to create an appetite for more alco- 

 hol. Thus wine tends to increase intemperance, 

 rather than to decrease it, as some have supposed. 



"VII. Fermentation is a part of the process of 

 making bread, but the alcohol is all evaporated 

 out of the unbaked bread. We should not eat 

 bread that is not well baked. It is not digestible. 



"VIII. Beers produced by fermentation con- 

 tain alcohol. We should not drink beer of any 

 kind.
