The Medical Viewpoint.
As illustrating the striking change of opinion in the medical world regarding ©veai the medicinal.value of. alcohol, the following statement made at the annual meeting (September, 1909) of the Victorian Branch of the British Medical Temperance Association, by the. President, Dr. Moore* In&kes interesting reading : — "The Melbourne Hospital' in -1874, with 3594 in-patients, expended on alcohol £1382. In 1880, with 37-86 in-patients, £1023 went in alcohol. In 1907, with 4328, only '£129 6s 6d was so expended; while in 1908, with 4410 in-patients, the liquor bill had further dropped to £97 8s 4d;" Surely with such evidence before them, the Trade (which is so solicitous for the physical, mental, and moral well-being of the people of this Dominion) will ,stri'k:e; .out the, top- line-' ■ jm Both Ballot Papers ?
