Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the role of the saloon in late 19th century American society with a particular focus on its devastating effects on health, morality, and domestic life. Drawing from various scientific and medical authorities, the author presents a compelling argument that the intoxicating drinks prevalent in saloons were a threat to the nation's well-being. Beyond the direct physical toll, the author demonstrates that the saloon fostered and profited from the moral degradation of individuals, creating a cycle of addiction and social decay that shattered countless young lives and wrecked innumerable families. The author contends that the saloon was a menace to the purity, virtue, and sanctity of the home, eroding the bonds of love and trust that held families together. The lure of the saloon tempted men away from their responsibilities and led to domestic violence and poverty, plunging countless women and children into a desperate struggle for survival. Through meticulous research and poignant anecdotes, the author exposes the saloon as an insidious enemy of the American dream, undermining the social fabric and threatening the nation's future prosperity.
