MEDICAL TEMPERANCE DEPT.

Dear Sisters, — At our last Convention, the following resolution was adopted: “Recognising that there is urgent need for systematic scientific and medical temperance instruction in the Unions, it is advised that at least once a quarter a short address, or reading, on this subject be given in the Unions.” As many of the leaflets belonging to this Department are very suitable for reading at meetings, I have felt disappointed that so few Unions have ordered a supply. Our President has suggested that a list Im* given of the leaflets in stock, and that members be urged to purchase for reading and distribution: Safe Remedies in Illness. The Use of Brandy und Wine as Medicine a Serious Error. Doctors and Whisky. Wine and Beer. Some Things Women Should Know About Alcoholic Medicines. Whisky an Agent of Death in Influenza an<i Pneumonia. Medical Temperance Quiz. Is Alcohol of Value in the Treatment of Disease? Professors of Medicine Say Whisky Not Needed. Whisky Delusions Dispelled. American Medical Association Resolution Against Alcohol. A lYimary Lesson on Beer. Danger in Habit -forming Drugs. Sample packet. 1/-. post free. Yours, in White Ribbon bonds, CLARA M. NEAL, Dominion Superintendent 5 Park (Yescent, l’arnell, Auckland.
