[*] Liquor problem, [**]$1. Houghton.
“The somewhat celebrated Committee of fifty for the investigation of the liquor problem was organized in 1893, and has since that time through its sub-committees published no less than five volumes embodying the results of its labors. Of these volumes two of considerable size considered the physiological aspects, one was occupied with legislative aspects, one with economic aspects, and one with ‘substitutes for the saloon.’”—N. Y. Times.
[*] “For the general reader this little book is the most important treatise upon the subject. It should receive wide attention.”
