"The Publishers, in sending forth this small volume, deem it due to themselves, as well as to the Authors of both treatises included in it, that some explanation should be given of the reason of their connection. The simple fact of their being works on articles so baneful in their effects on the physical and mental constitution of Man, is considered a sufficient apology for their being issued together; and hope that both the little manuals shall prove, by their perusal, an estimable blessing to the thousands of the present generation who are daily falling victims to the abuse of both Alcohol and Tobacco." - Notice.
