But what are our measures ? Fourteen years ago, we thought if we could reach ardent spirits, we should cure the evil ; and a pledge was adopted with that view. But experience taught us that it did not reach the disease. We enlarged the remedy. We did not at first make war against mere names. Whatever it was that corrupted the laste, poisoned the body, and ruined the soul, against that we made war. Alcohol was the evil, and wherever that was found, we applied the remedy. The objector comes, and ...claims that wine, beer, and cider, are not distilled spirits, and should therefore escape denuncia- tion. We answer, whatever it is that produces intoxication, whether distilled or fermented, against that we raise the warning voice. And, there was no need even of the formal change of the pledge— there was vigor enough in the origi- nal pledge, if properly understood, to cover the whole of the ground. It was intoxication that was filling up our grave yards; and against this, was the ori- ginal pledge aimed.
