Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, written by a physician with over a decade of experience in treating intemperance, makes the case for establishing asylums where inebriates can receive specialized and long-term care. The work is divided into ten essays, each exploring a different aspect of the issue. The author traces the history of temperance movements, discusses the physiological and psychological effects of alcohol, and argues that inebriates need to be treated with compassion rather than condemnation. He also offers practical advice on how to set up and run an asylum for inebriates. This book is an important contribution to the literature on addiction and should be read by anyone interested in the history of temperance movements, the treatment of addiction, or the social history of the United States.
