Excerpt from Longevity and Climate: Relations of Climatic Conditions to Longevity, History, and Religion, Relations of Climate to National and Personal Habits, The Climate of California and Its Effects in Relation to LongevityBowditch notes that the same amount of liquor that is well borne in England with its depressing climate, will, if persisted in for the same length of time in New England, develop into delirium tremens, and that persons who cannot use liquor in New England, can easily do so in the English climate. Califor nia offers a still greater bar to the use of intoxicants than New England, owing to its more exhilarating climate. This cannot make of California but a land of enforced temperance resulting from climatic laws and also by the same means a land of greater longevity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
