Examines the chewing gum industry in America from 1850 to 1920, the rise and spread of gum chewing and the reactions - almost uniformly negative - to the habit from editorial writers, reformers, religious figures, employers and the courts. The age-old problem of what to do with chewed gum is also covered.
