BEER AND VICE.
In 1912 when an effort was being made to restore the beer saloons .11 the American Army, the following statement was made in a memorial signed and sent to Congress by sixteen of the most famous physicians and surgeons in the United States: —“A study of array statistics shows that venereal diseases increased boo per cent, during the beer-selling period. It is not onlyin the state of drunkenness that men step into danger of incurring venereal diseases, but in the state of exhiliration and weakened self-control, which follows the use of comparatively small amounts of alcoholic liquors. Modern scientific investigation has shown clearly that one of the earliest effects of the use of alcoholic liquors is impaired self-control.”
