And can nothing be done for his assistance How can he cure this thirst water May allay it for a moment but the Relief is Only momentary. Indeed where habits of in Temperance have been Long water Only increases the horrid Burn ing. Here if we mistake is hidden the secret of the Power with which a Cohol holds fast its slave.
