To German-Americans, An Appeal For Investigation of the Saloon Problem, Containing Startling Facts in Relation to the Use of Beer and its Effects on those Who Drink It and Their Families

11 page sewn booklet written by Albert Griffin, urging temperance to German-Americans. The booklet cautions of the supposed more potent nature of American beer, coupled with our thirst-inducing warmer climate, and urges immigrants to adopt the American view of temperance. It includes a table listing the number of a wide variety of crimes committed by Irish and German-Americans between 1881 and 1886 in New York City.
