Excerpt from Friends' Review, 1869, Vol. 22: A Religious, Literary and Miscellaneous Journal
With regard to the daily drinking of wine and whisky by ladies and others, for mere debility, it is a delusion. In such cases wine is, in the most literal sense of the word, a mocker.. It seems to nourish, but does not; it seems to warm, but does not; it seems to strengthen, but does not. It is an arrant -cheat, and perpetuates the evils it is supposed to alleviate - Parlors.
