Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Action of Alcohol on Man
As I found myself able to secure the co-operation of men of learning and experience to aid me in the presenta tion of those aspects of the subject with which I am less familiar, I did not hesitate to undertake the work. I conceive that in a book such as this, written from the purely scientific standpoint, it will be possible to find material on which arguments might be based for or against the use of alcohol. I hope, however, that those interested in the problem will not be satisfied with sen tences taken from their proper context, but will study the evidence as a whole.
