Grappling With the Monster Or the Curse and the Cure of Strong Drink Classic Reprint by T. S. Arthur Book PDF Summary
Excerpt from Grappling With the Monster, or the Curse and the Cure of Strong Drink N preparing this, his latest volume, the author found I himself embarrassed from the beginning, because of the large amount of material which came into his hands, and the consequent difficulty of selection and condensation. There is not a chapter which might not have been extended to twice its present length, nor a fact stated, or argument used, which might not have been supplemented by many equally pertinent and conclusive. The extent to which alcohol curses the whole people cannot be shown in a few pages: the sad and terrible history would fill hundreds of volumes. And the same may be said of the curse which this poisonous substance lays upon the souls and bodies of men. Fearful as is the record which will be found in the chapters devoted to the curse of drink, let the reader bear in mind that a thousandth part has not been told.
