Death By Measure: Or, Poisons and Their Effects Found in Intoxicating Liquors

First Edition, Scarce. A fascinating book by Thomas P. Hunt, radical reformer seeking temperance at all levels and espousing total abstinence from alcohol. One review of his work states "The writer of these volumes endeavours to persuade all men every where to embrace the doctrine of total abstinence...if he succeeds, there will be no drunkards. He has done much to rescue the slaves of strong drink...and has earned the title of 'The Drunkard's Friend' (The Protestant Quarterly, vol. IV, no. 1, January, 1847, p. 95). Includes multiple illustrations of drunkenness with skeletal figures warning of its result.
