Till NORTH CAROLINA MEDICAL SOCIETY. of the president, Dr. James M. Parrott, on this subject in his president's . address. It was openly stated by the strongest advocates of prohibition measures that they would not vote for any further extension of the prohibition laws as long as whiskey was sold at the drug stores; but as soon as your president and your Committee on Public Policy and Legislation stated the attitude of the State Medical Society these same men were willing to go to any limit in the prohibition of the sale of alcohol in North Carolina. We desire also to express our appreciation of the similar position taken by and the influence of the North Carolina Pharmaceutical Association in regard to the sale of alcohol by drug stores in North Carolina. A letter from a gentleman in this State who is a close observer of men and measures stated that our Society had done more toward decreasing the consumption of whiskey in North Carolina than any other organization except the church. And it is perhaps not improper for me to say at this time that this action by our Society has increased largely the esteem and confidence of our people for the medical profession in our State. May I state also that the nonmedical men in the General Assembly were thoroughly informed in regard to these matters and in regard to public health matters in general. As an evidence of their intelligence in this matter we might call to witness the fact that when the only untoward bill, medical or health, was introduced in the General Assembly providing for opening the sale of opium and its derivatives, the Committee on Health voted unanimously to report the bill unfavorably, and it was killed then and there. Every bill affecting the medical profession, all considered constructive and progressive, was passed without amendment and without opposition. Among these we might mention the divorcing of the meeting of the Board of Medical Examiners from the meeting of this Society and holding the main meeting annually in the city of Raleigh, at such time as the Board of Examiners may decide, and holding a second meeting during the year if desired, and abolishing the temporary license. It remains to be seen whether or not this law is wise. It may be that it will place additional burdens on the Board of Examiners, who I am quite sure are. sufficiently burdened already, and it certainly takes the board meeting and the young doctors who are participating away from the influence of this Society just at a time when the young doctors are entering the profession in our State, and when they should be brought under the wholesome influence and made to feel the importance of allying themselves with the organized profession in our State as represented by
