Synopsis

Excerpt from The Temperance Teachings of Science Adapted to the Use of Teachers and Pupils in the Public Schools

Not only did the country need a large army, it needed an army of strong, sound, healthy men. SO when a man had enlisted, he was sent from the recruiting Office to the examining surgeon, to undergo rigid bodily inspection. If the surgeon found disease in the heart, or lungs, or brain, or in any part of the body, if the enlisted man had defects Of vision, or hearing, if he had lost a front tooth, and could not bite Off the end of a cartridge, or a right thumb, and could not cover the vent-hole of a can non, if he was maimed, deformed, defective or un sound in body, the Government refused to accept him as a soldier. He could not be mustered in. For the business of war requires the highest bodily efficiency, and feeble or crippled men are not equal to its tremendous demands.

Product Description

Excerpt from The Temperance Teachings of Science Adapted to the Use of Teachers and Pupils in the Public Schools Throughout this volume no opinions have been expressed as to the particular methods of what is called "Temperance Work." Nothing has been said as to the propriety or efficacy of pledges, moral suasion, political agitation, or legislative enactments. Important questions are connected with these subjects, but the sole object has been to bring all, and especially young people, who may honor this little book with a perusal, to the rational conclusion and firm resolve, that in whatever form, as an article of "diet," of luxury, or as a beverage, alcohol is harmful; is useless; we will not take it.
