According to what wc have heard of his caee he began to use strong drink as a medicine under the direc tion. of a physician, but when the appetite for it .was fastened upon hjm it continued to grow until it at ticked his mind and now he, who wafe once one of most bitter foes and most uncompromising temper ance orators, has been thrown froih a lofty height to a position which makes him ap object for sympathy and pity.
