The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 45

The Contrast

The Contrast.

Moderation. Teetotalism.
If a youth begin at ten years of ago to drink a pint of beer per day, and continue to do 60 until he reaches the age of seventy, he will have drunk fifty hogsheads, thirty-seven gallons, and two quarts of spoiled water, at a cost of £182 10s. Let a youth be wise, and never take the drunkard's drink! and begin at ten years of age to deposit twopence per day at compound interest, at five per cent per annum, and, should he reach the age of man, he will realise the sum of £1,205 11s. 7d.
