In this influential work of public health advocacy, Felix L. Oswald argues that intemperance (excessive drinking) is a major cause of social, economic, and health problems in 19th century America. Oswald marshals a wide range of statistical, scientific, and moral arguments in support of his case, and offers practical advice for individuals and communities seeking to combat the spread of intemperance. The Poison Problem is a fascinating historical document and a reminder that many of the social problems we face today have deep roots in the past.
