Title
Social Purity: an address delivered at Battle Creek, Mich. ...
Description
This is a pamphlet containing an address entitled "Social Purity" given by John H. Kellogg on November 28, 1886. The pamphlet was published by Health Publishing Co. of Battle Creek, MI. In outlining what he believes to be the "active agents in leading the young to lives of impurity", Kellogg first identifies "The [Effect] of a Bad Diet" (page 7). He writes that spices, sweets, condiments, rich sauces, tea, and coffee—all of these corrupting foodstuffs, combined with overeating and hasty eating, "contribute to the establishment of morbid conditions which encourage impurity" (page 8).
