Publisher's Synopsis
"The Gothenburg procedure of buying up the drinkshops, suppressing some and operating others, has naturally from our point of view no justification. It suits only the schemes of those who believe in moderation and who will neither work for nor understand a thorough going reform. It goes without saying that for all clear heads universal prohibition is the end aimed at." -Dr. Matthaei, Physician on the General Staff of the German Army. "We have a good army for reviews but a bad one for war." -Persian Official to Lord Curzon. "What medicine cannot touch, iron will heal, and what iron will not heal, fire mill cure." -Schiller.
