Dedication
To our patients and students, who have challenged and inspired us and given meaning to all our endeavors.
To practitioners who continue to improve patient health outcomes and thereby serve as role models for their colleagues
and students while clinging tenaciously to the highest standards of practice.
To our mentors, whose vision provided educational and training programs that encouraged our professional growth and
challenged us to be innovators in our patient care, research, and education.
To our faculty colleagues for their efforts and support for our mission to provide a comprehensive and challenging educational
foundation for the pharmacists of the future.
And finally to our families for the time that they have sacrificed so that this twelfth edition would become a reality.

Conflict of Interest Disclosure and Mitigation
Contributors to Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach must disclose relevant financial and other interests with entities that
produce, market, sell, or distribute medications, health products, or services related to the medication use process. All contributors com-
pleted, signed, and submitted a conflict of interest (COI) disclosure statement to the Editors. Starting with the 11th edition, the COI
disclosure was submitted after an invitation has been extended and before a contributor agreement was signed.
After reviewing the COI disclosure statement submitted by a contributor, the Editors developed and approved a plan to mitigate any
and all potential COIs that might be reasonably perceived by the readers of Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach to unduly
influence the contributor’s favorable or unfavorable portrayal of any product or service. The mitigation plan included, but was not
limited to, assigning a coauthor with no COIs to work with the contributor, subjecting the contribution to external peer review, or asking
the contributor to divest the interest(s).
No contributor may receive a payment or services from a third party (commercial entity, government agency, professional o­ rganization,
private foundation, etc.) for any work product submitted to Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach.
Starting with the 11th edition, potential contributors who are employees of a commercial entity that produces, markets, sells, or
distributes medications or healthcare products are not invited or re-invited to contribute.
COI disclosures for all contributors to Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach will be made available to readers online. The
internet address for the COI disclosure page will be published in the Contributors section of the text.

and practitioners have embraced the Triple Aim19 focusing on patient-

Aim can only be achieved with significant transformations in the deliv-
ery of care and by adopting payment models based on value.
To accelerate the requisite redesign of healthcare delivery, the
Institute for Healthcare Improvement has developed guiding prin-
ciples or “rules” for workforces and healthcare communities. Among
these principles is to consistently implement what works in order to
reduce unnecessary variation. Standardization is important because
healthcare systems are embedded in a network of providers in mul-
tiple institutions, settings, and practices.20 A lack of a consistent pro-
cess of care creates an environment that leads to unacceptable gaps in
care. Thus, a process of care must be sufficiently robust to address the
complexity that exists among patients and adaptable to varied settings
and different acuity levels. For a specific patient care service to be
widely adopted and valued, it is imperative that clarity exists both in
the execution of care and the terminology used to describe the care.
The stimulus for developing the patient care process for phar-
macy was the wide variation observed as pharmacists provided direct
patient care, often using the same terminology to describe diverse
services or, conversely, the same service is described using differ-
ent terminology. As patient care services provided by pharmacists,
physicians, nurses, and any healthcare practitioner cannot operate

music composed for merry’s museum; by
g. j. webb.

“Who taught you to sing, my pretty, sweet birds?


Who tuned your melodious throats?
You make all the woods and the vallies to ring,
You bring the first news of the earliest spring,
With your loud and your silvery notes.

“Who painted your wings, my pretty, sweet birds,


And taught you to soar in the air?
You rise and you dart through the region of light,
You look down on man from your loftiest height,
And your hearts know no troublesome care.

“And where are your fields, my beautiful birds?


And where are your houses and barns?
You sow not the ground, and you reap not the corn,
You spring from your nests at the earliest morn,
But you care not about the wide farms.”

“’Tis God,” said a lark, that rose from the turf,


“Who gives us the good we enjoy;
He painted our wings, and he gave us our voice,
He finds us our food, and he bids us rejoice;—
We’re his creatures, my beautiful boy.”

The Siberian Sable-Hunter.

CHAPTER II.

It is the character of young people to engage in new enterprises


with ardor: it was so with Alexis, in his fur-hunting expedition. For a
time, indeed, after parting with his father and sister, his heart was
heavy, and tears more than once dimmed his eyes. He expected to
be absent for a year at least, and who could tell what might befall
him or them, during that space of time? Such thoughts came again
and again into his mind, and as fancy is apt to conjure up fears for
those we love, he pictured to himself many possible evils that might
beset his friends at Tobolsk.
But these images gradually faded away, and the young hunter
began to be occupied with the scenes around him, and with the
conversation of his companions. These consisted of two young men
of nearly his own age, and their father, an experienced and skilful
hunter. They were all equipped with rifles, and each had a long knife
like a dagger in his belt. Their design was to travel on foot to the
eastward, a distance of more than two thousand miles, and then
proceed northward into the cold and woody regions which border the
banks of the great river Lena, as it approaches the Arctic Ocean.
Hitherto Alexis had seen little of Siberia; his curiosity was
therefore alive, and he noticed attentively everything he met. Soon
after leaving Tobolsk, the party entered upon the vast plain of
Baraba, which spreads out to an extent of several hundred miles. It
is almost as level as the sea, with slight swells, resembling waves.
Such plains are called steppes in Siberia, and they are like the
prairies of our western country, being generally destitute of trees,
except low willows, and large portions having a marshy soil. Upon
this plain the travellers met with no towns, but miserable villages of
people, their huts half sunk in the mud. They also sometimes
encountered small bands of people called Ostiacks. These seemed
to be roving people, and in a state of barbarism. The old hunter of
the party, whose name was Linsk, seemed to be well acquainted
with the habits of these people, and as the four hunters were
trudging along, he gave the following account of them, taking care to
say something of himself in the course of his story.
“The Ostiacks are one of the most numerous of the tribes of
Tartars that inhabit Siberia. They spread over the country to the north
of Tobolsk, along the banks of the Obi, and the various streams that
flow into it. They do not like to dig the soil, so they live on fish, and
by hunting wild animals. Some of them eat so much fish, that they
smell like whale oil. I have been in their tents often, and one of these
fisheating families have a flavor as strong as a cask of herrings. Bah!
how well I remember them! It seems as if I could smell them now! I
shall never get them out of my head.
“You must know that I have been a hunter for twenty-five years,
and I have made several expeditions into the north country, where
the Ostiacks chiefly dwell. It is a cold and desolate region; no trees
but pines and willows grow there; there is no grass, and very few
shrubs. Still, it was once a good country for furs; but they are nearly
gone now, and I don’t wonder at it, for these Ostiacks are such
heathens. They are not Christians, but believe in little wooden
images, which they will place on their tables, and lay around them
snuff, willow bark, fish oil, and other things which they deem
valuable. Having done this, they call upon these images, which are
their gods, to make them lucky in fishing and hunting. If the gods
don’t send them good luck, then these foolish people do give them
such a banging! They cuff their heads, and knock them off the
tables, and switch them as if they were so many naughty school-
boys.
“Now, for my part, I wonder that fish, or sables, or bears, or any
other creatures that are useful, will stay in a country where such
stupid people live. And then you must know that the Ostiacks almost
worship a bear. They think that this creature is a kind of a witch or
wicked god, and such horrid notions of it have they, that, when they
take the oath of allegiance to the Russian government, they say, to
make it very strong—‘We hope we may be devoured by bears, if we
do not keep this oath.’
“Beside all this, the Ostiacks, as you see by those whom we have
met, are little short people, not more than five feet high. A great
many of the women are fat, and such little round dumplings I never
beheld! The hair of these people is of a reddish color, and floats
down their shoulders. Their faces are flat, and altogether they look
like animals, rather than human creatures. Their houses are made of
poles, set up in a circle, and thatched with bark. In winter, the
windows are covered with expanded bladders. The fire is made on
one side of the room, and the smoke circulates above, finding its
way out as it can. Generally, there is but one room in a hut, and all
the family are tumbled into it, by night and by day.
“Now all this shows what stupid people these Ostiacks are; but
there is one thing I have to say in their praise. They understand
fishing and hunting. In chasing the bears, they show courage and
skill, and in taking the sable so as not to break his skin, they display
true genius. I once knew an old Ostiack that was nearly equal to
myself in hunting. He could see the track of an ermine, marten, or
sable, upon the snow-crust, when nobody else could; he would
follow one of these creatures for a whole day, pretending he could
see the foot-prints; but I believe the old fellow could smell like a dog.
What beautiful sables and grey foxes he did get! He once got two
sable skins which were sent to St. Petersburgh, and sold for three
hundred dollars. The emperor bought them himself, and sent the old
fellow a knife ornamented with a silver plate, and the word “Nicholas”
engraved upon it. This the emperor said was to encourage the
hunter to get fine furs. But the old hunter died soon after, and the
people said it was from mere pride, because the emperor had paid
him so much honor. He never hunted any more, but strutted about,
brandishing his knife in the air, and saying, ‘Behold! this is what
Nicholas, the Czar of all the Russias, has sent to Dwaff Khizan, the
greatest hunter of Siberia!’”
Alexis listened with interest to this long account of the Ostiacks by
old Linsk: but his heart really palpitated when the hunter told of the
rich sable furs sent to St. Petersburgh by Dwaff Khizan, and which
not only brought a great price, but won the favor of the emperor. He
immediately remembered the injunction of his sister Kathinka, to be
particular and get rich sable furs; and he also remembered that she
had spoken of sending them to the princess Lodoiska. “After all my
thinking that the girl was romantic and conceited, to fancy that she
could send furs to a princess, and attract her attention, now that we
are poor exiles in Siberia, perhaps she is right, and has more sense
then I have. At all events, I will exert myself to procure some sable
furs finer than were ever seen before. We are going to the coldest
portions of Siberia, and there it is said are the most splendid furs in
the world. It will be something to please Kathinka, and to relieve my
father from his poverty; and, beside, I should like to beat old Linsk,
vain and boastful as he is!”
With this ambitious conclusion, Alexis stepped quicker and
prouder over the level road, and, without thinking of it, had soon
advanced considerably before his party. Coming to a place where
the road divided, he took that which led to the right, as it seemed the
best. He had not gone far, however, before he heard the loud call of
Linsk. Stopping till the party came up, Alexis found that he had taken
the wrong path. “That road,” said Linsk, “leads to the great town of
Tomsk; a place which has ten thousand people in it, and I may add
that one half of them are drunkards. This is the more wonderful, for
the people have enough to do; because the country in that quarter
abounds in valuable mines. All around Tomsk there are salt lakes,
and the waters are so impregnated with minerals, that the bottoms
are covered with a coat as white as snow.
“To the south of Tomsk, a great many miles, are some mountains,
called the Altai range. In these mountains there are mines of gold
and silver, and of platina, a metal more costly than gold. The mines
are wrought by exiles; and, master Alexis, some of your countrymen
are there, as they ought to be. You ought to thank the clemency and
mercy of the emperor, for not sending you and your father there!”
“Stop! stop! old man!” said Alexis; “say no more of that! say no
more of that! My father ought to be sent to the mines! for what? For
risking his life to save his country? For giving his wealth to Poland?
For shedding his blood for liberty? Is patriotism then a crime? Shame
on the emperor who makes it so!”
“Tut, tut, tut, tut!” said Linsk, with an air of authority; “why, you talk
rebellion, as if you had drank it in with your mother’s milk. Oh dear!
oh dear! what are we all coming to, when youngsters talk such
pestilent stuff about liberty and patriotism? Why, what have we to do
with liberty and patriotism? Let us take care to obey the emperor,
and his officers, and those who are in authority, and do as the priests
tell us: that’s all we have to do. But never mind, boy; I didn’t mean to
hurt your feelings. So don’t think any more of what I said about your
father and the mines. I believe he’s an honest and noble gentleman,
though I am sorry he’s so much misled. Liberty and patriotism—
indeed! Bah! When I hear about liberty and patriotism, I always look
well to my pockets, for they sound to my ear very much like roguery
and mischief. Liberty and patriotism, forsooth! as if we common men
were like wild animals, and, as soon as we are of age, had a right to
set up for ourselves! No! no! we are Christians, and it is our duty to
honor the emperor; we are his subjects, and he may do as he
pleases with us. God bless him.”
“I suppose it would be glory enough,” said Alexis, having
recovered his good humor, “to have our heads cut off, provided it
was done by command of the emperor.”
“Certainly,” said Linsk, not discovering the irony; and here the
conversation took another turn.
“You were speaking of the mines,” said Alexis. “Do they produce
great quantities of the precious metals?”
“Yes,” said the old hunter, in reply. “The mines produce the value
of more than ten millions of dollars a year. Not only do they yield
gold, and silver, and platina, but a great deal of copper. Beside
these, many precious stones are found, such as the topaz, beryl,
onyx, garnets, diamonds, and green crystals as beautiful as
emeralds. All these mines and all the minerals belong to the Czar,
and they are wrought by his serfs and slaves, and by such exiles as
are very bad and troublesome!”
“Those who talk about liberty and patriotism, I suppose,” said
Alexis.
“Yes,” said Linsk, snappishly.
“Well,” said Alexis, “I should like to go to that country, where there
are such rich minerals and precious stones. I think I could pick up
enough to make myself rich.”
“And get your head taken off besides,” said Linsk. “Let me tell
you, my young master, the metals and minerals belong to the
emperor, and it’s stealing for anybody to take them, and whoever
does so is sure to get punished. I know a story about that—”
“Tell it, I beg you,” said Alexis. So the hunter proceeded.
“There was once a young nobleman of Russia exiled to Siberia for
some offence to the Czar. This happened in the time of Paul, near
forty years ago. Well, when he came to Tobolsk, he was very poor,
so he thought how he might get money and become rich. At last he
heard of the mines of the mountains, and thither he went. He was
careful, however, not to let anybody know his plan. He proceeded
first to the Kolyvan mountains, but, as there were a great many
people at work there, he was afraid of being detected in his scheme;
so he proceeded farther east, until he came to a tall mountain called
the Schlangenberg, which is the loftiest of the Altai range.
“When he had got up to the very top of the mountain, being weary,
he laid himself down to get some rest, and here he fell asleep. While
in this state, a man, in the dress of a Tartar, seemed to stand before
him, and, making a low bow in the Eastern fashion, said, ‘What
would’st thou, son of a noble house?’ To this the young Russian
replied—‘Wealth—give me wealth: with this I can purchase my
liberty and return to Moscow, and live again in happiness. Give me
riches: with these I could buy the very soul of the emperor, for all he
desires is money.’
“When the young man said this, the image smiled on one side of
his face, and frowned on the other; but he answered fairly,—‘Your
wish shall be granted: follow me!’ Upon this the Russian arose and
followed the mysterious stranger. They descended to the foot of the
mountain, and entered a cave which was formed by nature in the
rocks. It was at first a dark and gloomy room, with grizzly images
around, and a fearful roar as of mighty waterfalls, tumbling amid the
gashes and ravines of the mountain. But as they advanced farther,
the scene gradually changed. The darkness disappeared, and at last
they came to a vast chamber, which seemed glittering with
thousands of lamps. The room appeared indeed like a forest turned
to crystal, the branches above uniting and forming a lofty roof, in the
gothic form. Nothing could exceed the splendor of the scene. The
floor was strewn with precious stones of every hue, and diamonds of
immense size and beauty glistened around. As the adventurer trod
among them, they clashed against his feet as if he was marching
amid heaps of pebbles. There were thousands of lofty columns, of a
pearly transparency, which seemed to send forth an illumination like
that of the moon; and these were studded with garnets, and
emeralds, and rubies.
“The Russian was delighted—nay, entranced. He walked along for
more than an hour, and still the vast room seemed to expand and
grow more gorgeous as he proceeded. The diamonds were larger,
and the light more lovely, and by-and-by there came a sound of
music. It was faint, but delicious; and our hero looked around for the
cause of it. At last he saw what seemed a river, and on going to the
border of it, he discovered that it was a stream of precious stones,
where garnets, and beryls, and diamonds, and emeralds, and rubies,
flowed like drops of water, in one gushing, flashing current; and as
they swept along, a sort of gentle but entrancing melody stole out
from them, and seemed to melt the heart with their tones.
“‘This is indeed most lovely—most enchanting!’ said the youth to
himself. ‘Well and truly has my guide performed his promise.’ Saying
this, he looked around for his guide, but he had disappeared. The
young man waited for a time, but his guide did not return. At last he
began to feel weary, and cast about for a place to lie down; but no
such place appeared. The floor of the mighty hall was covered with
precious stones, but they were so sharp and angular that they would
have cut his flesh, if he had attempted to lie upon them. Pretty soon,
hunger was added to the young man’s wants. But how could he
satisfy it? There were emeralds, and rubies, and sapphires, and
diamonds, but neither meat nor bread. At last he turned around, and
began to search for the way out of the grotto; first filling his pockets
with the richest and rarest gems he could find. But the more he
sought for the passage, the more remote he seemed to be from it.
He, however, continued to wander on, but all in vain. At last he
became frantic; he threw up his hands, and tore his hair, and ran
fiercely from place to place, making the arches ring with his frightful
screams. ‘Take your gold, take your jewels!’ said he; ‘and give me
rest, give me bread!’ And, repeating this by night and by day, the
young man continued to run wildly from place to place; and though
forty years have rolled away since he entered the enchanted cave,
he is still there, and is still unable to obtain rest or appease his
hunger!”
“Is that all?” said Alexis, as the hunter paused in his narration.
“Yes,” said Linsk; “and let it warn you and all others not to go into the
mountain, to steal the gems and the gold that belong to the
emperor.”
“The story is a good one,” said Alexis, “and no doubt it has been
used to frighten people from interfering with the emperor’s mines; but
it is an allegory, which bears a deeper meaning to my mind. It
teaches us that riches cannot bring rest or health, and that a person
surrounded with gold and gems may still be a most wretched being.
Those very gems, indeed, may be the cause of his distress, as they
may have been obtained by crime, or avarice, or other unlawful
means.”
(To be continued.)
The Lion and the Mouse;
a fable.

A lion was once going to war; he had buckled on his sword, and
gathered his forces, and, with the monkey and the bear supporting
his long robe behind, he was proudly marching over the plain at the
head of his army. As he was proceeding, it chanced that his majesty
encountered a mouse, dancing merrily over the ground. The king
paused, and observed the little dancer with a grim smile of
satisfaction. At this the bear grumbled, and the monkey sneered, for
his majesty being in a warlike humor, they thought it meet that
everybody else should be so too; but they were both speedily
silenced by the lion, who spoke as follows:
“Why do you grumble at this pretty little fellow? See how graceful
his movements are, and how cheerful is his countenance!
Remember that everything has its use, and nothing is more useful
than that which makes us cheerful, provided it is innocent. Even we
warriors have need of cheerful excitement, for by this means we are
better fitted to discharge our solemn duties. Let us not despise, then,
even such sports, and amusements, and trifles, as come in our way,
provided always that they are as harmless as the frisks and frolics of
this little dancing-master of the meadow; and provided, too, that we
never neglect business for pleasure.”

CHAPTER X.
A conversation about wealth and poverty.—​People to be respected
according to their character, not according to their
circumstances.

As Paul Raymond was one of the best friends I ever had, it is my


desire to make my reader well acquainted with him. He was tall, thin,
and bent over, his figure seeming to indicate great humility; his face
was meagre and exceedingly pale; his hair black as jet, and hanging
in long, thin curls down his neck. His eye was very large, and of a
deep blue.
The whole aspect of my friend was marked with a childlike
gentleness and timidity, though his high forehead and prominent
Roman nose bespoke a manly intellect. A worldly person, judging
only by outward form and a first sight, had passed him by with
indifference; but one who looks upon mankind as beings of soul and
mind, would have been attracted by his appearance. It was so in
some degree with myself, for when I first saw poor Paul, as he was
called in the village, I scarcely noticed him. And for years after, I saw
nothing of particular interest in his person: but now that I was on a
sick bed, and had opportunity, as well as occasion, to observe him
closer, he seemed to me very interesting, both in looks and manner.
It was one morning after he had been putting my room in order,
and, taking his book, had sat down by my bedside, that I mentioned
to Paul the change of feeling I had undergone in respect to himself.
“I cannot but wonder,” said I, “how different you seem to me now,
from what you used to do, Mr. Raymond.”
Raymond. Call me Paul, boy, call me Paul! said he. We are
friends now, and mister is always a mischief-maker between friends.
You say I seem different now from what I once did. The change is in
you, not in me. I am the same poor Paul Raymond, as before. You
are something better than before this accident happened.
Merry. How am I better? I think I am worse: I have been guilty of
folly, and, though thoughtlessly, of crime; I have been disgraced
before the whole village; my poor arm broken; I am sick and
emaciated; and after all this, you tell me that I am better than before.
R. And I tell you the truth, boy. You have suffered, it is certain; but
that suffering has been like medicine to your mind and heart. You
were well in body, you were full of health and spirits, but there was
disease within. Your heart was full of selfishness and pride; you felt
that you could take care of yourself, and you cared not for the
sympathy of others. You have now learnt a good lesson; that pride
has been humbled, and you see your dependence upon others. You
see how poor and paltry pride is; and how vain is that independence,
which leads us to think only of self, and to be regardless of the
feelings of our fellow-men. You are more humble than before, and
therefore I say you are better than before.
M. Then you think humility is a good thing?
R. Certainly, and pride a bad thing. God looks down upon the
humble man with approbation and favor, and he sends to the humble
man peace and consolation which the world cannot give or take
away. God looks down upon the proud man as a fool, a creature as
silly as the moth that buzzes in the flame of the lamp, only to perish
in his folly.
M. But this is very different from the view generally taken by
mankind. The rich, the haughty, those who are successful in life, who
know no sickness or misfortune, and who are seldom or never
visited by sorrow—these are those who are esteemed happy by the
world at large. The proud are envied and the humble are despised.
You would reverse this, and regard the humble as the happy, and the
high and haughty as the miserable.
R. Yes, and this is nearly the truth. Health is given us for good;
but, strange to say, men seem to turn it to bad account. A person
who has always good health, is usually unfeeling: he sneers at those
who are feeble, and laughs those to scorn who cannot eat and drink
and work as well as he does. He is therefore deficient in one of the
greatest of blessings, a kind and tender heart, a heart that feels for
the misfortunes and sorrows of others, and that always is seeking to
soften them.
Riches are given for good, but these too are abused. The rich
man is likely to have very little regard for the poor; he is apt almost to
feel that the poor are not human: at all events, he knows and cares
little about them. He estimates men by their wealth: if a man is rich,
he respects him; if poor, he despises him. Thus wealth begets in its
possessor a gross stupidity of mind; it blinds a man to the most
useful pleasures and important truths. It makes a man ignorant of his
real duty and his true happiness.
M. You think then that health and wealth are misfortunes.
R. Certainly not, if rightly used: they are blessings in the hands of
the virtuous, and some such there are. But in too many cases,
mankind abuse them. The fortunate are very apt to be vicious; those
who go on in an unchanging tide of success, at last fancy that they
may indulge their pride and their passions with impunity. Such
persons have hard hearts; and though the world, judging of the
outside only, call them fortunate, and envy them—still, if we look
within and see their real character, we shall pity them, as in fact poor,
and destitute, and miserable in all that constitutes real goodness,
real wealth—a good heart.
It is for this reason that the Bible—a book more full of virtue than
mankind generally think—tells us that “whom the Lord loveth, he
chasteneth.” In other words, God sends sorrow and misfortune upon
men in real kindness. He takes away health, but he gives gentleness
and humility of soul, as a compensation; he takes away worldly
wealth—houses, lands, and merchandises—but he gives charity,
good will, kindness, and sympathy, in their stead. He takes away
external and earthly riches, and gives in exchange spiritual riches, of
infinitely greater price. He takes away dollars and cents, which only
pass in this world, and are wholly uncurrent in another, and gives
coin that bears upon it an image and superscription, which not only
makes it available in time, but in eternity.
M. Most people think very differently from you, on these matters:
they seem to imagine that the rich are not only the happiest, but the
wisest and best part of mankind.
R. Shallow people may think so, but wise men do not. Our Savior
appealed to the poor, not to the rich. Poverty, not wealth, was the soil
in which he sowed the seeds of truth; and he knew all things. History
justifies Christ’s judgment of human life, for all, or nearly all great
improvements in society have been begun and carried on by the
poor. For almost all useful inventions; for almost all that is beautiful in
poetry, and music, and painting, and sculpture, and architecture; for
almost all that has contributed to diffuse truth and knowledge and
liberty among mankind—we are indebted to those who have been
born and nursed in poverty. If you were to strike out of existence all
that the poor have created, and leave only what the rich have
created, you would make this world one vast scene of desolation,
vice, and tyranny.
Look around, and remark, who are the people that are tilling the
soil and producing the comforts and luxuries of life? The poor, and
not the rich. Who are paying the taxes and supporting the
government? The poor, for they pay, in proportion to their property,
much more than the rich. Who are the supporters of religion? The
poor, for it is by their prayers, and sacrifices, and efforts, that it is
propagated, not only at home, but in foreign lands. No Christian
Mission, no Bible Society, no Society for the distribution of Tracts,
was ever begun and carried on and supported by the rich.
The simple truth is, that, as the poor are the producers of all the
substantial comforts of life, of food, raiment, houses, furniture, roads,
vehicles, ships, and merchandises, so are they the cultivators of
those spiritual staples which make up the social wealth of the world
—religion, knowledge, charity, sympathy, virtue, patriotism, liberty,
and truth. Destroy the poor, and you destroy not only the source of
worldly wealth, but of that mental, spiritual, and social wealth, which
are far higher and better.
M. You think, then, that the poor are not only the wisest, but the
best part of mankind.
R. Certainly; but do not misunderstand me. I do not say all rich
men are bad, or that all poor ones are good. There are rich men who
are good, wise, kind, and virtuous—and those who are so, deserve
great praise, for, as a class, the rich are otherwise; and the reasons
are plain. In the first place, most men who become rich, do so by
being supremely selfish. They keep what they get, and get what they
can. A man who has no generosity, who seldom or never gives away
anything, who is greedily seeking all the time to increase his
possessions, is almost sure, in a few years, to accumulate large
stores. Such a man may be very stupid in intellect, and yet
successful in getting rich. Riches are no proof of wisdom, but they
are generally evidence of selfishness.
A man, by cultivating any passion, increases it. An avaricious
man, indulging his avarice, grows more and more so. He not only
becomes more greedy, but less regardful of the rights, feelings, and
interests of his fellow-men. Thus, as a man increases in riches, he
usually becomes vicious and depraved. His vices may not be open—
he may not break the laws of the land, but he breaks the laws of
conscience, and of God. There is hardly a spectacle more revolting
to the eye of virtue, then the bosom of the rich and avaricious man. It
is a machine, which grinds in its relentless wheels the limbs, the
bowels, the nerves, the hearts of such among his fellow-men as fall
within his grasp. He is a kind of moral cannibal, who feasts and
grows fat, not on the bodies of his species, but on their peace and
happiness.
M. You are severe.
R. But I hope not unjust: remember that Christ forgave the thief on
the cross, but declared that it was easier for a camel to pass through
the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of
heaven. He knew by what means men generally grow rich; he knew
the effect of riches on the heart; and, as a class, he denounces the
rich, as in the view of Heaven among the least favored of mankind.
They have their good things in this world, but a fearful penalty is
attached to the abuse of these good things—an abuse which is but
too tempting and too common.
But the only evil of wealth lies not in the danger which it threatens
to the future welfare of the soul; it is very apt to destroy or prevent
some of the sweetest pleasures of this life. Humility is the source of
more true happiness than wealth. A rich man may possess humility,
though he is more likely to be proud; poverty, disappointment,
sorrow, and misfortune, are the great producers of humility: and it
often happens that God, in taking away wealth and worldly
prosperity, and giving humility in return, greatly increases a person’s
true wealth and genuine peace. It is thus that he often deals with
those he loves. He thinks that a man may well afford to part with his
wealth, if he parts with pride at the same time, and obtains humility
as a reward; and surely he knows what is best for us.
Nor is peace of mind the only effect of humility. It not only wakes
up the heart of man to many kindly exercises of charity to his fellow-
men, but it clears his mind and his intellect, so that it is brighter and
stronger. Pride dims, dulls, and cheats the mind; the judgment of a
proud man is seldom good. Not only does pride beget meanness of
soul, but meanness of intellect. Greatness of mind, as well as of
soul, is usually associated with humility. For this reason it is, that you
find among the poor, who are usually humble, more true greatness of
both mind and heart, than among the rich; and it is thus that we see
the fact explained, which I have before stated, that for almost all the
great religious, benevolent, and social progress of the world, we are
indebted to the wisdom, charity, disinterestedness, and patriotism of
the poor.
M. Is it then a sin to be rich, or a virtue to be poor?
R. Certainly not: there is no virtue or vice in either poverty or
wealth. All I say is this, the usual means taken to get riches are
supreme selfishness or craft, or uncommon want of principle; and
riches, when once obtained, tend to corrupt and degrade the heart,
and stultify the mind. While, therefore, we admit that a rich man may
be wise and virtuous, still, as a class, the rich are the least to be
respected and trusted. We are borne out in this view by the
