Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the physiological and toxicological properties of various alcohols and their implications for alcoholism. The author, a respected scientist, conducted extensive research in the late 19th century, challenging the prevailing belief that alcoholism was solely caused by excessive wine consumption. Through experiments on animals and observations of human subjects, the author demonstrated that impure industrial alcohols, containing substances like amyl alcohol and butyl alcohol, were the primary culprits behind chronic alcoholism, a condition that had become increasingly prevalent with the rise of alcohol production from non-wine sources. The book provides valuable insights into the complex relationship between alcohol consumption and its health effects, highlighting the importance of distinguishing between the moderate use of pure wine and the harmful consequences of consuming contaminated alcohol.
