Some background info I left out: This illustration is from The Temperance Program (1915), a book edited by Thomas F. Hubbard - an evangelist and a leader of the temperance movement in the United States. The book includes a section entitled: How to Make a Drunkard - which shows how a mother’s permissive attitude could doom her son to a life of alcoholism and misery … If you would make of Willie Boy a drunkard low and vile, Just let him piece between the meals and every little while. And when he to the table comes, with stomach tired and sore, You scold and fret and urge and plead for Willie to eat more. Be sure to tempt his appetite with jelly, cake, and pie … The home of an indulgent mother Plenty of pickles and pork Mexicanized dishes and pepper sauce Candies and rich pastries Tea coffee and coca Sodas, pop, and ginger ale Tobacco and cigarettes Cards, dice, and pool Liquor and strong drink A drunkard's grave.
