ALCOHOL AND INFLUENZA.
A word of warning withregard ; to alcohol is given by tbe ‘‘.Practitioner ” in a special number entirely devoted to influenza. The prescribing of" alcoholic stimulants in influenza demands more than ordinary circumspect- - ion. The mental state in this malady is so excitable, so un- 1 stable, so impressionable —in a word so neurotic—that the seeds of intemperance mays be--' sown by following the unthinking <. advice to take wine or spirits as a stay in weakness. The conviction of the writer in our contemporary is that alcoholic stimulants are generally not only unnecessary, but positively harmful in the treatment of • influenza. If ordered at all they should be given with or in food and only for a limited time, like any other powerful drug.
