You established beer shops where there had never been a call for them, and you proceeded with an ingenuity that was devilish, and a persistency that was infernal, to make customers for your product. You laid traps for the people. You took houses and rooms ever3rwhere, and put into them men fitted by nature for the business, and made it to their profit to entice men and boys into your places to be taught to drink beer. The number whose stomachs were already trained to the liquid were altogether ...too few for your purpose, and you began a regular systematic recruiting of the ranks of drunkards, which you have faithfully followed ever siflce, your success in this nefarious trade increasing with the money you make l^ it. You understood enough of the make-up of the hum^i system to know that when a boy was once accustomed to drink, a stop- page was almost impossible, and that when his stomach was once sufiiciently inflamed he would go on so long as he had energy enough to earn the price of a glass and the strength to lift it to his lips, giving you a mortgage upon him till the certain end came to him.
