Description
Excerpt from A Text-Book of True Temperance Edited and Compiled
I f a spirit-drinking population could acquire a taste for light and unadulterated beers, this might not be all that a temperance reformer would desire, but it would be at least a great and incontestable improvement. One of the evil results that are bound to ?ow from the indiscriminate prohibition of intoxicating liquors is, that men learn to drink; whiskey rather than beer, as it is more easily smuggled. W. E. H. Leck Y.
There is probably no one subject that interests more persons than this of liquor, except perhaps it be that of pure foods. Almost everyone is likely to have an opinion on the subject of prohibition and is likely to express it pretty freely. But there are not many per sons who know much about the way beer (now often called the national beverage) is prepared. There is a very general confidence that it is a pure product, but other than that very few folks know much about it. For these reasons it is interesting to see just what are the brewing processes.
A few years ago the New York State Board of Health caused about goo samples of malt liquors brewed in this State to be analyzed chemically by the State Analyst. Not one of the large number of samples was found to contain any deleterious substances. The verdict was that there was no adulteration of a harm ful or other kind.
