BEER IS GOOD FOR YOU

FAMOUS PHYSICIANS SAY SO

The medical profession has never hesitated to endorse the health-giving properties of Good Pure Beer. For many years leading physicians have recommended Beer, in whatever form their patients most enjoy, as a tonic, a health food, and as a refreshing beverage which will restore energy lost through work and worry. Here are the words of Lord Dawson of Penn, Physician to the King, words which have a special significance for most of us in these times of stress: “A glass of beer at the end of the day will lighten the mental horizon, brighten the outlook, enable a man to drop those grey-coloured spectacles with which he views the world after the hardships of the day, and give him content, ease of mind, and happiness.” Sir James Crichton-Browne, M.D., LL.D., F.R.S., says: “Beer acts as a means of relaxation. It quickens the emotional responses of individuals, and therefore helps them to bear the troubles and anxieties which beset them in the strenuous modern times.”

Dr. Josiah Oldfield, M.D., says: “I attribute very much of the stamina which the British race possesses to the phosphates and salines contained in Beer.” Sir William Arbuthnot Lane, C. 8., M. 8., Lond., 8.5., F.R.C.S., says: “I do not hesitate to assert that I have saved more lives and rendered others healthier and happier by the reasonable use of alcohol than by the administration of any drug.” Page 109 of “Alcohol and the Human Organism,” a book universally recognised by the medical profession, contains these words; “Beer can be used to furnish as much as one-fifth of the total amount of energy required by the body.” Further expert opinion states that the Beer brewed by Hlckmott’s Victoria Brewery, in Christchurch, complies in every respect with the medical opinions expressed above.
