Why is the letter X coupled with ale? Because it X-actly X-prcsses its character. On X-amining this X-alted and highly X-tolled X-cisable liquor, we learn that it is an X-tract of malt and hops, with probably some X-tras. It is X-ceedingly X-pensive. X-tremely dangerous, and X-cessively injurious. Who can X-aggerate its evil effects? It X-hilarates and X-hausts t he spirits; it X-cites anger; it X-pels reason; it X-termir.ates hope; it Xasperates fassion; it fosters X-tra-vagance; it ruint X-cellence; and it X-tirpates friendship. It makes Xorbitant X-actions on the body, and X-erts an X-traordinary influence on the mind. Its deadly X-ploits are
everywhere X-hibited and fearfully X-perienced. X tains awake! X-ylore this X-ecrable drink curse; X-clude it Irom your lips; X-orcise it from your homes; take a firm and X-plicit land; allow no X-cuse; admit no X-ception; spare no X-ertion; abridge no X-pense; but by X-hortation, by X-clamation, by X-ample, and by Xpectant prayer, strive to X-tricate its perishing victims; to stay its X-ten-,ion; to X-termiuate its power; and X-p«ct no repose until it is X-iled ml of X-istence.
