WHISKY THE WAY TO POVERTY.
Start out by being a clever fellow; it is the nicest thing to do. While your money lasts, all the dead beats will laugh with you; but as soon as it is gone they will laugh at you. This will make quite a difference you will find. If you have not the money to go on, you can gain the same end by loafing around, waiting for something to happen. But if these methods are too slow in accomplishing the purpose of crime, shame, disease, and even starvation, call to your aid the use of intoxicating liquors, and in the beginning consult your own taste—wine, cider, beer, whisky—it is all one; no matter where you begin, you will end with gin or whisky and in the gutter. The habit of drinking once formed, everybody will mistrust you and will cease to trust you. If you have not then reached poverty you never will. So as you now have more time, you can drink more, go down faster, and in a short time die a pauper.
