Excerpt from Detection of Fraud and of Health: Protection of Adulteration of Food and Drink; Plain and Simple Directions for Detecting Them; The Deleterious Influence of Lead on the Human, System, Means

Is the question asked: "Why have the following pages been written, what will be accomplished, who will be benefited?" If so, I answer, I have written them from a sense of duty: one that I owe to myself, to my God, and to the world. Suffering humanity calls aloud for relief; the father who, by poisonous articles of diet, vended by those in whom he had confidence, has seen his child, the idol of his heart, consigned to a premature grave, calls for the work. The unsuspecting public, who are daily taking a slow poison, and from which cause they are often thrown upon a bed of languishing and affliction; who are scorched with fever, and racked with pain, need such a work. If the public will only for one moment consider what the adulteration of food and drink has done, they will at once admit that such a book is needed. This sophistication of food and drink has "slain its thousands, and tens of thousands."
