A Disquisition on the Evils of Using Tobacco
Publisher Description
It is a health book. 'Fowler on the Evils of using Tobacco. --The subject of which this pamphlet treats is one which, we are persuaded, has received too small a share of attention from those who are laboring to free our land, utterly and forever, from the thraldom of intemperance. From our own observation, limited as it has been, we are persuaded that the victims of intemperance in the use of this poisonous weed are by no means inconsiderable in number. Probably Mr. Fowler is correct when he estimates the mortality occasioned by the use of tobacco in its various forms, at five thousand annually. An early attack against the use of tobacco in all forms, delivered before both the Fall River Lyceum and Fowler's Fall River church, with much on the injurious effects tobacco has on health.
