The Liquor Problem: A Summary Of Investigations Conducted By The Committee On Fifty, 1893-1903 (1905) is a book written by John Shaw Billings. It provides a comprehensive overview of the investigations conducted by the Committee on Fifty, a group of prominent citizens and experts appointed by the National Temperance Society and Publishing House to study the effects of alcohol on society.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the liquor problem. These include the history of alcohol consumption, the physiological effects of alcohol on the body, the economic and social costs of alcohol abuse, and the various efforts to address the problem, such as temperance movements and prohibition.Throughout the book, Billings provides a detailed analysis of the data collected by the Committee on Fifty, drawing on a wide range of sources, including medical journals, government reports, and statistical data. He also offers his own insights and recommendations for addressing the liquor problem, based on the findings of the Committee and his own expertise as a physician and public health expert.Overall, The Liquor Problem: A Summary Of Investigations Conducted By The Committee On Fifty, 1893-1903 (1905) is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of alcohol consumption and its impact on society, as well as for policymakers and public health professionals seeking to address the ongoing challenges posed by alcohol abuse.Also Prepared By Jacob L.
