Then take good care that you do not die with smoke and passion, drunken, and with temperance language on your lips; that is, abuse and calumny against all those who differ from you.

One word of sense you have been heard to say, which is, that spirits may be taken as a medicine.

Now you are in a fever of passion, teetotaller; so, pray take this tumbler of brandy; take it on the homoeopathic principle, that heat is to be expelled by heat.
You are in a temperance fury, so swallow the contents of this tumbler, and it will, perhaps, cure you.

You look at the glass wistfully--you say you occasionally take a glass medicinally--and it is probable you do.
Take one now.

Consider what a dreadful thing it would be to die passion drunk; to appear before your Maker with _in_temperate language on your lips.
