Advertisement for Eno's 'Fruit Salt', 1898. 'HUMAN NOBLENESS! 'Every Noble Crown is, and on earth will for ever be, A CROWN OF THORNS.' - T. Carlyle. WAR! O world! O men! What are ye, and our best designs, That we must work by crime to punish crime, And slay as if death had but this one gate? - Byron...DESTINY, or to Live for this Day ONLY. THE COST OF WAR - 'GIVE ME THE MONEY that has been SPENT in WAR and I will PURCHASE EVERY FOOT of LAND upon the Globe; I WILL CLOTHE every MAN, WOMAN, and CHILD...I WILL BUILD a SCHOOL-HOUSE on EVERY HILL-SIDE and in every valley over the whole earth...I WILL CROWN every hill with a PLACE OF WORSHIP consecrated to the promulgation of the GOSPEL OF PEACE; I will support in every pulpit an able teacher of righteousness...the VOICE OF PRAYER and the SONG OF PRAISE should ascend like a UNIVERSAL HOLOCAUST to HEAVEN.' - Richard. Why All this Toil and Strife? There is Room enough for All. WHAT IS TEN THOUSAND TIMES MORE TERRIBLE THAN REVOLUTION OR WAR? 'I WILL TELL YOU WHAT IS TEN THOUSAND TIMES MORE TERRIBLE THAN WAR - OUTRAGED NATURE!!! SHE KILLS AND KILLS, and is NEVER TIRED OF KILLING TILL SHE HAS TAUGHT MAN THE TERRIBLE LESSON HE IS SO SLOW TO LEARN, THAT NATURE IS ONLY CONQUERED BY OBEYING HER'. From "Illustrated London News", 1898.
