Temperance Movement

If you click on the Australian cartoon on this wikipedia page - it shows a Man with just water on the table and this quote

Here Lieth a Temperance Man

A Noted temperance man lies here
The green tur o'er his head
No man e'er saw hom on his beer
Till after he was dead

+ another carton 1846 - The Drunkards Progress used by the Temperance Movement (9 steps - Step 1 : A glass with a friend, Step 2 : Glass to keep the cold out, Step 3 : A glass too much etc etc) - trying to read the rest of the quotes - am getting worried about myself!!!
