A classic anti-drug screed published in 1929 that explores the dangers of drug addiction and the challenges of moral decline in society. Rowell, a strong advocate for temperance and social reform, delves into the societal impact of drugs like opium, heroin, and morphine, examining how addiction spreads and corrodes individual lives and communities.
Through a mix of firsthand accounts, statistics, and moral arguments, he paints addiction as a “wolf” preying on vulnerable individuals, threatening the moral fabric of society. Rowell's approach is part of the early 20th-century movement aimed at combating drug abuse through education, legislation, and ethical persuasion instead of just criminal punishment of the addict.
