Excerpt from Prohibition a Failure: Or, the True Solution of the Temperance Question Glancing over this work, and finding that the writer is opposed to Prohibition, many readers will conclude he has joined the rum party. To secure a patient hearing, I take the liberty to express my convictions upon the subject of Temperance. Alcohol is a poison, and should not be taken into the stomach in any form, or under any circumstances. The candidate for a boat race or billiard tournament scrupulously abstains. For thirty years I have advised total abstinence for both sexes, all ages, and in all conditions of health. I have uniformly advised members of churches to shun the Lord's Supper, until unfermented wines are furnished. In renting a hotel property in Boston, I have already sacrificed not less than twenty thousand dollars to keep out rum, and will not lease it without the condition that wines and brandies shall be excluded from the cooking. I have nothing on earth I would not cheerfully give to help the cause of temperance. I believe the Prohibitory Law is a great obstacle in the path of the temperance movement, and that further progress is impossible until the law is abolished.
