1930 The Saloon in the Home

A LETTER FROM JOHN CADBURY, ESQ. i839 T HE result of my own six years' experience is, that total abstinence from all intoxicating drinks, has conferred real and substantial benefits on my health, mentally and physically. "Before adopting this plan, I seriously believed that my con– stitution required the stimulus to assist in supporting me. I was wrong. Instead of suffering frequently from languor, irrita– bility, and at times highly susceptible nervous feelings with comparatively little relish for food, particularly at breakfast, I can now gratefully, and I desire humbly, to acknowledge that all these unpleasant sensations have, in a great degree, sub– sided. My health, which at the time referred to, was very bad, has since been uniformly good, even robust. Languor, from which I suffered greatly, is unknown to me-and as to exertion, I remember no period of my life when I could undergo so much with so little fatigue. "I have for more than two years expelled every description of intoxicating drink from my house (except it may be a little labelled poison in the medicine chest). "My three children have all been nursed by their mother on this principle, and that to their evident advantage; nor can I withhold the pleasing intelligence that my valued parents, each in their seventy-first year, have also, for many years, abstained from all intoxicating drinks, to the perceptible benefit of their health." · ·
