Excerpt from A Dissertation on Intemperance: To Which Was Awarded the Premium Offered by the Massachusetts Medical Society

Life has been aptly likened to the heavenly fire with which Prometheus animated his statues of earth. While this celestial ﬂame continues to burn, all the manifestations of life are maintained, but with its ex tinction all the vital actions which it excited must cease. Now though this ﬂame must at last go out, still its ex tinction may be hastened or protracted according as we artificially and irregularly excite it, or allow it to burn on steadily and equally.
