Weird Tract Number 125: "Liquor Is The Enemy of Body and Soul" by Cyrus Osterhus

 Troy Davis writes:

Osterhus Publishing House has been around since the turn of the 20th century. Cyrus (who died in 1967) took over the publishing house when his father, the founder, died in 1931.  This undated but old-timey tract discusses the evils of drinking alcohol; the on-the-nose illustration of the drinkers flying too close to the flame makes this tract goofy enough for inclusion to our collection. I previously featured an Osterhus publication on the evils of brew: "Rats in the Beer Vats" that gives some gross-out details of  alleged brewery practices in the early 20th century.
