Book excerpt: Excerpt from Grappling With the Monster, or the Curse and the Cure of Strong Drink Our book treats of the curse and cure of drunkenness. How much better not to come under the terrible curse! How much better to run no risks where the malady is so disastrous, and the cure so difficult! To young men who are drifting easily into the dangerous drinking habits of society, we earnestly commend the chapters in which will be found the medical testimony against alcohol, and also the one on The Growth and Power of Appetite. They will see that it is impossible for a man to use alcoholic drinks regularly without laying the foundation for both physi cal and mental diseases, and, at the same time, lessening his power to make the best of himself in his life-work; while be yond this lies the awful risk of acquiring an appetite which may enslave, degrade and ruin him, body and soul, as it is de degrading and ruining its tens of thousands yearly.
