"There is much common sense in 'The Truth About Alcohol.' The author is a well-known New York physician who has made a specialty of the subject of stimulants. He demonstrates by conclusive evidence that spirits are of great value in many cases and that the temperance advocates wilfully pervert the truth. Increasing age brings with it less capacity for enduring mental strain and worry, and spirits act as a recuperative influence. The same is true in regard to taking of wine or liquors by brain-workers with their meals. Digestion is aided and the lassitude so frequently experienced is removed. The little book demands a wide circulation, as it contains information vouched for by the best medical authorities, both here and abroad, which is of great practical value."—San Francisco Chronicle.
