The Daily Dispatch: December 4, 1861., [Electronic resource], Bread Versus whiskey. (search)
of drinking whiskey for their health, and have often been urged to drink myself "to keep off sickness" Members of the Medical Staff should check the mighty tide that bears upon its bosom such destructive consequences — destroying the health of the army, degrading and brutalizing the noble spirit that actuated the war, and in forming habits that will — if spared to live in peace with the world — make them enemies to brother, mother, sister, and even themselves I have looked at this thing in sorrow, and it is only a duty I owe to my country — my noble, generous-hearted, brave countrymen, that I should thus speak. Come, soldiers, if you would sustain your characters, as brave and chivalric, be temperate; if you desire long life, be temperate; if prosperity and happiness, never drink whiskey, and if a peaceful, tranquil home on the verge of eternity, and a blissful home with the good, don't drink whiskey. Then, we shall have bread in abundance, and no demand for whiskey. Vivian
