TO CURE THIRST
AMERICAN PATENT MEDICINES.
(UNITED . PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPIRIGHT.)
(AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZEALAND CABLS ASSOCIATION.)
(Received 26th May, 10 a.m.) ATLANTIC CITY, 25th May. Dr. Cramp, Director of the American Medical Association's Bureau of Investigation, told the delegates to the convention of the associations that Prohibition cannot be successful until certain patent medicines which are designed to furnish the public with beverages of highly alcoholic content are suppressed. Dr. Cramp named sixty such medicines, which ho said produced intoxication without ill effects from any drug. He admitted that a campaign against these might result in increased consumption, but urged that they should be put under Government control. He said their obvious intent wus to furnish a beverage rather than a medicine.
The American Medical Association strongly disapproves of the sale of such preparations under the guise of medicine. .
