Excerpt from Responses on the Use of Tobacco
What! Another volume on Tobacco! Why not? If we have taken a correct view of the subject, its nature and wide-spread evils are such as to justify the publication not only of a second, but of a third and fourth volume. It is neither so pleasant, nor profitable in a pecuniary point of view, that we give it the preference to other topics. But, fully believing that mankind are suffering incalculable ills from its use, conscious of our weakness and of the power of the enemy, we have attempted their rescue. How far we shall have effected it, remains to be seen. We should rejoice to see some abler pen than ours do more ample justice to the subject. The reasons which have urged us forward to the expense and labor we have bestowed on this subject, have arisen from our personal experience of its very sad and mourn ful effects and, growing out of this, a benevolent.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, published in 1846, is a treatise on the deleterious health effects of the common use of tobacco. The author, an early advocate for temperance from alcohol, condemns the widespread but poorly understood effects of tobacco on the body. The author's goal is to alert the public and to dissuade others from using tobacco, especially young people. He claims that tobacco use was far more prevalent among men at the time than the public realized and aims to rectify the situation by detailing the specific ways that tobacco useâ"in its various formsâ"damages both the body and mind. The author cites personal anecdotes, physician observations, and medicinal wisdom to support his arguments and concludes that continued widespread use of tobacco would result in an alarming number of unnecessary deaths and illnesses.
