In this fast age,
The less exciting the food, the better.
Condiments are injurious in their nature.
Mustard, pepper, spices, pickles,
And other things of a like character,
Irritate the stomach and make the blood
Feverish and impure.
The inflamed condition of the drunkard's
Stomach is often pictured as
Illustrating the effect of alcoholic liquors.
A similarly inflamed condition is
Produced by the use of irritating condiments
The system feels a want,
A craving
For something more stimulating.
