He was a loyafisS. during the Revolutionary war acxS removed to Halifax and late? 10 England, being one of those wbc» were proscribed in 1778. But he re turned to America about a yea? be fore his death. To him goes credit i for introducing inoculation for j smallpox. Sylvester Graham (1794-1851) was a New England Presbyterian xoto , ister, a temperance lecturer and sto advocate of vegetarianism. Hi® theory was that a diet of vegeta i bles prevented a craving for liquor,, and he recommended using an un bolted wheat flour for bread.
