Sinopsis

The book ""Protection Of Native Races Against Intoxicants And Opium: Based On Testimony Of One Hundred Missionaries And Travelers"" by Wilbur Fisk Crafts, published in 1900, is a comprehensive study of the harmful effects of intoxicants and opium on the native races. The book is based on the testimonies of one hundred missionaries and travelers who have witnessed the devastating impact of these substances on the health, social fabric, and economic well-being of the native populations in various parts of the world.The book provides a detailed account of the history of opium and alcohol use among the native races, the various forms in which these substances are consumed, and the cultural and economic factors that contribute to their widespread use. It also highlights the efforts made by missionaries and other concerned individuals to educate the native populations about the dangers of these substances and to promote alternative means of livelihood.Crafts argues that the use of intoxicants and opium has a profound impact on the physical and mental health of the native populations, leading to a range of diseases, including tuberculosis, syphilis, and mental illness. He also notes that the use of these substances contributes to social disintegration, poverty, and crime, and that it undermines the economic development of the affected regions.The book concludes with a call to action, urging governments, missionary organizations, and other concerned individuals to work together to protect the native races from the harmful effects of intoxicants and opium. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of drug use and its impact on society, as well as those concerned with the welfare of native populations around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
