Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the arguments for total abstinence from all intoxicating liquors, particularly in their use as an everyday beverage. These arguments come from the author's study of Classic literature, the Bible, and the natural world, as well as his personal experience. Prior to the 19th century, moderate drinking was not just accepted but recommended by many as beneficial to health. The author describes the evolution of this perspective through the centuries, particularly in America, beginning in colonial times through the late 1800s. The author details the devastation caused by alcohol abuse in all walks of life and decries the sale of impure and harmful concoctions to the public. Although a strong proponent of temperance, the author does not condemn moderate drinkers as sinners. Instead, he reminds readers of the scriptural injunction to love their neighbors. The primary focus of the book is to spread awareness of the evil of intoxicating liquors and encourage personal and community action to eliminate the devastating effects of alcohol from society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
