Excerpt from Real and Imaginary Effects of Intemperance: A Statistical Sketch
I say to thee, a speculative Wight 18 like a beast on moorlands lean, That round and round some fiend misleads to evil plight, While all around be pastures fresh and green.
In their arguments the leaders of this agitation have cared neither for primary causes nor general results, but have looked only to effects in individual cases, building upon such isolated experiences curative theories for all the evils of the universe.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book unveils the relationship between intemperance and its effects on society, zeroing in on the contentious topic of insanity. The author counters the claims that 50% of insanity stems from intemperance, arguing instead that the reported increase in insanity during the 1870s is largely due to better enumeration methods and diminishing prejudice. They present evidence suggesting that, far from causing more insanity, an increase in the consumption of fermented beverages has been accompanied by a decrease in distilled spirit consumption and a corresponding decline in alcohol-related mental health issues. The author also challenges the notion that intemperance is the primary cause of poverty, providing evidence that economic factors are far more influential. Their examination of historical and statistical data reveals that laws aimed at reducing consumption through high taxes and prohibition have consistently failed and often worsened the situation. Ultimately, this book emphasizes the importance of a balanced approach that focuses on addressing the root causes of both intemperance and insanity, rather than relying solely on punitive measures.
