292 ' bulletin n, c. state board of health. Prof. J. J. McCook. Rev. T. T. Hunger, D.D. Eobert C. Ogden, Esq. Rev. Prof. F. G. Peabody, D.D. Rt. Rev. H. C. Potter, D.D Rev. W. I. Rainsford, D.D.

"Wise. Mr. Edward Bunnell Phelps, expert statistician and author of "The Mortality of Alcohol." ATTITUDE OF THE MEDICAL PROFESSION TO THE USE OF ALCOHOL IN MEDICINE Bt Dr, Aldert S. Root, Raleigh, N. C. As a Word of Preface.—We shall deal "with alcohol not as a beverage, but as a drug—just as any of the numerous remedial agents which are recognized as standard by the American Medical Association. Much has been written upon the subject in the past decade—much which is foolish and sentimental-—much which is wise and scientific. The great temperance wave which has swept over our states in recent years, where it has been conducted wisely and free from fanaticism, has begun to awaken us to our enormous economic waste as a nation, and to open the eyes of the public to the individual physical impairment which so frequently follows in the wake of the alcoholic habit. Partly due to the influence of this movement, but more largely, I think, a sequence of scientific evolution, there has accrued in the past ten years such a mass of scientific facts bearing upon the action of alcohol upon the tissues of the body, that medical opinion as to its efficiency in disease is rapidly and widely changing. Past Attitude of the Medical Profession Towards Alcohol as a Drug. That alcohol has been used as a healing drug through the generations of the past can not be gainsaid, for constant references to its use are to j be found in the archives of ancient, mediaeval and modern medical lit- I ■erature. In text-book and precept it has been taught that taken in moderation in health it aids digestion and prolongs life, and that in fever acts as a food; supports the failing heart, sustains the digestion and so carries the exhausted patient through the dangers of the disease. But no theory, venerable though it be, stands without challenge and in the light of present day research upon, and knowledge of the drug, the medical profession is fast realizing that through these past ages it has been shackled with a false conception as to the effect it produces, and hence beneficial result in disease.
