Excerpt from The New Christianity: An Appeal to the Clergy and to All Men in Behalf of Its Life of CharityFirst, as a physician, his attention was early called to tire con sideration of the question of prescribing intoxicating drinks in cases of sickness, and during the first three years of his practice, by careful observation, he satisfied himself that, as remedies, they are' rarely useful, generally unreliable and often very injurious, and that, in almost if not in every instance, it is not difficult for the intelligent and skillful physician to select much safer and better remedies.Again, as a Professor of the theory and practice of medicine in medical colleges in Cleveland and New York, as a lecturer on temperance, and as a writer on the Avoidable Causes of Disease, and the Deterioration of the Puritan Stock, and finally in con ducting the controversy with the clergy on the wine question for the last six years, the writer has had occasion to repeatedly and persistently examine this question in all its various aspects. And it is safe to say that no writer has ever had the cc-operation and assistance of a greater number of clergymen, physicians and laymen than has the present writer, in the consideration of the wine question. From those residing in the city of New York and its vicinity, in the East and the West, the North and the South, and in England, the writer has received many suggestions, and he has been able thereby to make clear many points which might otherwise have escaped his notice. And his numerous opponents have brought to his notice many assumptions and arguments in favor of the use of intoxicants, to which he has had an opportunity of replying.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
