THE USE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVER-' ACES. (From “The Lancet.”) We have received the following document for publication in the “Lancet.” As an expression of scientific opinion it deserves to be considered carefully by medical practitioners. The signatories are well known members of the profession, and the importance of the questions involved, alike from the medical and social point of view, can hardly be over-estimated. “In view of the statements frequently made as to present medical opinion regarding alcohol and alcoholic beverages, we, the undersigned, think it desirable to issue the following short statement on the subject—a statement which we believe represents the opinions of the leading clinical teachers as well as of the great majority of medical practitioners. “Recognising that, in prescribing alcdhol, the requirements of the individual must be the governing rule, we are convinced of the correctness of the opinion so long and generally held, that in disease alcohol is a rapid and trustworthy restorative. In many cases it may be truly described as lifepreserving, owing to its power to sus-1 tain cardiac and nervous energy. “As an article of diet we hold that the universal belief of civilised mankind that the moderate use of alcoholic beverages is, for adults, usually beneficial is amply justified. “We deplore the evils arising from the abuse of alcoholic beverages. But it is obvious that there is nothing, however beneficial, which does not by excess become injurous.” T. McCall Anderson, M.D., * Regius Professor of Medicine, University of Clasgow. Alfred C.
