Excerpt from The Truth and the Wine Interest!: Prosperity or Pauperism? Will Wine Making Pay? A Question of FinanceThere was a time not very long ago, when wine was almost un1versally believed to be a legitimzzte natural product of'the fruits of the soiln and a proper article appointed by the Creator for the use Of It was supposed to be nourishing, strengthening, supporting, and to possess a greater range and variety of medicinal properties than were ever claimed for Holloways Pills or R. V. Pierce's quackeries. It Was also believed that the Creator had been a little careless or indiscreet or mistaken, in providing us with such a useful food and such a cure-all medicine, that is so expensive and so dan gerous, and so tempting to abuse and excess, and which has destroyed more human lives and souls and properties, and caused more sin, crime, misery and untimely death than war, pestilence, famine and all the other evils combined that have ever cur sed the world.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
