An exception was found recently
in Oklahoma, however. A prominent
banker died. The cause of death
was stated on the death certificate i
to be heart trouble. That was true,
but it was heart trouble irritated and
made fatal by bad liquor. The widow
told the prohibition authorities the
cause of the heart trouble and they ,
captured the actual still which had
caused her husband's death. No man
can compute the number of similar
deaths from natural causes hastened
by drinking bootleg liquor.
Even if the truth were told as to
all these, the account would he far
from complete. In taking Its toll,
bootleg liquor does not exact the
full amount In hand; deferred pay
ments are the heaviest. Thousands
of men who may live for years have
written with bootleg liquor their
own inevitable doom. They may stop
drinking, hut, shaken by the cumu
lative effects of bootleg poison, they
will not live to the end of a nor
mal life. Though death come ten
years hence, it will be as truly has
tened by bootleg liquor as the death
of the man who swallows wood alco
hol concoction and dies the same day.
