Excerpt from Talk of Uncle George to His Nephew About Draw Poker
This pamphlet is issued for the purpose of induc ing those who engage'in this Great American Game of Draw Poker, to play only for amusement and pastime; and to expose those in our clubs and social card parties who are tricky, or disposed to cheat. Also -to show to the American youth the dangers that beset their path when playing this fascinating game.
While we have treatises on this subject, by Black bridge, American Hoyle, Schenck, and others, all of whom teach the game, wz'z'k the rules and laws Mat govern z'z', - it has been left for Uncle George, in a familiar, conversational manner, to lay open and expose this game as it is too often played - with its lights and shadows, its bright parts, and ways that are dark.
