ALCOHOL- NO MEDICINE.
“I have had twenty years’ experience in the practice of medicine. At no tine have 1 found it necessary to use or pre scrils- aleoliol ns a medicine. We do use it for sterilisation purposes and as a preservative for various drugs and chemicals, but as a medicine it is absolutely worthless, and a detriment to the patient. “Wo have thirteen active physicians on duty in this hospital, and only on* has ever preserilied whisky or wine. . . . 1 think you will find when a final sur vey is made of the medical profession in the I'nited States that there exist*n preponderance of sentiment for the elimina ion of alcohol from the armamentarium of the average physician.”— Hugh Scott, M.D., Pnited States Veterans Bureau. Hospital No. 90 Muskogee. Oklahoma.
