  The Beer Question. The National Temperance Society has published the following books, tracts, and pamphlets upon the beer question, which should have a wide circulation. The following are adapted to Sunday-school libraries, as well as for family reading and general distribution. Brewer's Fortune, The. By Mary Dwinell Chellis. 12mo, 425 pp $1.50 This takes up and discusses the entire beer question; the writer having carefully studied the subject from every point of view, and it is worthy of the widest circulation. It is one of the best volumes ever written by this popular author, and shows that wealth can not compensate for evil-doing, and that the sins of the fathers are often visited upon the children. Brewery at Taylorville, The. By Mary Dwinell Chellis. 12mo, 445 pp 1.50 This book shows how much evil was wrought by the establishment of a brewery in a hitherto prosperous town, and how it brought ruin and disgrace upon those who indulged in what are called the lighter drinks. It is one of the strongest books in favor of total abstinence from everything that can intoxicate. Firebrands; a Temperance Tale. By Mrs. J. McNair Wright. 12mo, 357 pp 1.25 It is the story of an orphaned boy, adopted by a distant relative, and subsequently the inheritor of a small fortune from an uncle, which he is then induced to invest in brewing in a country village, with an unhappy sequel alike to himself and the community. The lesson against tampering with beer or strong drink, either the drinking, making, or vending of it, is of a most impressive character, and is admirably adapted to win and hold the reader's interest, and to create and strengthen good resolutions. Beer as a Beverage. An address by G. W. Hughey. 12mo, 24 pp 10 A very able reply to the assumptions by the brewers at their late congress at St. Louis, that beer is a harmless, wholesome, "temperance" beverage. It deals very effectively and conclusively with the sophistries and falsehoods of the brewers, and is a most valuable document for general circulation by the friends of temperance in all parts of the country. History and Mystery of a Glass of Ale. By J. W. Kirton. 12mo, 24 pp 10 Showing what ale is, and what it does, and why it should be let alone. EIGHT-PAGE TRACTS, $6.00 per 1,000. The Evils of Beer Legislation. By J. B. Dunn, D.D. FOUR-PAGE TRACTS, $3.00 per 1,000. Why I Did Not Become a Brewer. By J. B. Dunn, D.D. UNION HAND-BILLS, $1.00 per 1,000. A Crusade Against Beer. Address J. N. STEARNS, Publishing Agent, Science and Temperance. By BENJAMIN W. RICHARDSON, M.A., M.D., F.R.S., Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, London; etc. The National Temperance Society has published the following new and valuable works on alcohol, from a scientific stand-point, written by Dr. Richardson, one of the foremost scientists of the age. On Alcohol. With an introduction by Dr. Willard Parker, of New York. 12mo, 190 pages. Paper covers, 50 cents; cloth $1.00 This book contains the "Cantor Lectures" recently delivered before the Society of Arts. These justly celebrated lectures, six in number, embrace a historical sketch of alcoholic distillation, and the results of an exhaustive scientific inquiry concerning the nature of alcohol and its effects upon the human body and mind. They have attracted much attention throughout Great Britain, both among physicians and general readers, and are the latest and best scientific expositions of alcohol and its effects extant. The Temperance Lesson-Book. A series of 52 short Lessons on Alcohol and its Action on the Body. Adapted for public and private schools, and supplies a great educational need. 12mo, 220 pages. School edition, per dozen, $6.00; singly 75 It is the mature result of most careful and extended research on the part of its gifted author, whose attainments place him in the front rank of the ablest scientists of the world. There are fifty-two lessons, each followed by a series of questions for examination and review. They are free from labored and wearisome details, cover a wide range of physiological and hygienic information, and in style are simple and attractive, admirably adapted to win and retain to the end the interest of students. Their practical value, as a means of prevention and a safeguard for the young against the drink peril, it would be impossible to compute. Moderate Drinking: For and Against, from Scientific Points of View. 12mo, 48 pages. Paper 20 It is a thoroughly scientific and impartial discussion of the subject of the moderate use of alcoholic beverages, by one who stands in the front rank of the most distinguished scientists in Great Britain, and as such possesses a rare value for circulation among the young, and all who may not yet have arrived at mature convictions as to total abstinence. It is one of the most valuable contributions its gifted author has yet made to temperance literature. It ought to be in the hands of all college students, and of young men, ministers, teachers, and intelligent people everywhere. Action of Alcohol on the Body and on the Mind, The. 12mo, 60 pages. Paper 20 Two able and important lectures, the result of careful and extended researches as to the results of alcohol from a scientific stand-point, and are among the ablest contributions to this branch of the subject. The Medical Profession and Alcohol. An Address before the British Medical Association. 12mo, 33 pages. Paper 10 It is a scientific plea for total abstinence, of great power. It embodies also a very earnest appeal to members of the medical profession to join in the pending vitally important warfare against alcoholic beverages. It is a most valuable publication to place in the hands of the physicians of this country, among whom it should have the widest possible circulation. Address J. N. STEARNS, Publishing Agent, |
