ARE YOU GOING TO LET THE TRADE CONTINUE, OR PAY TEfEM PD?TEEN MILLION POUNDS OP THE COUNTRY'S MONEY TO GET OUT, OR WILL YOU WIPE IT OUT FOR NOTHING? LIQUOR AND INFLUENZA. LIQUOR AND INFLUENZA. MEDICINE IN THE HOME. DON<T LET THE LIQUOR TRADE SCARE YOU. READ THIS! Sir Malcolm Morris, K.C.V.0., F.R.C.S., President of the Institute of Hygiene, Commissioner at a conference called by the Institute on February 28, 1919, to consider Influenza and its prevention, said : "ALCOHOL IS NOT ESSENTIAL FOR THE PREVENTION OR THE TREATMENT OF INFLUENZA." Dr E. B. Turner, F.R.C.S., is a leading London practitioner, and has lectured on social diseases in the Army with great acceptance to officers and men. He has kept a record of an unbroken series of 2,300 CASES OF INFLUENZA WHICH HE HAS TREATED, ending in complete recovery with no complication, and without a single death. He described in the ' British Medical Journal * for March 8, 1919, how, in the epidemic raging in London since October, 1918, ho had treated 335 cases, all with temperatures of 103.5 degrees to 105 degrees, and of virulent type, all recovered without pneumonia or other complications. Dr Turner says in a letter: I have not ordered any alcohol whatever in Influenza, either in this epidemic or any of the early ones. They do not require it, as far as I can see. "ALCOHOL WILL BE AVAILABLE." But, if required, alcohol for medicine will be obtainable. The Act especially provides for it, and the Minister for Health in the National Government specially mentioned that provision would be made to obtain it WITHOUT PAYMENT OF DOC TORS' FEES. DON'T BE SCARED. WIPE OUT THE PUBS. THE SOLDIERS' VOTE. WHEN DID THE PROHIBITION PARTY ABK FOR IT? BITION PARTY) DID NOT ASK THAT THE SOLDIERS' VOTES SHOULD BE TAKEN AT THE APRIL POLL. Read these resolutions taken from the minutes of the Alliance Council held in St John's Lecture Hall, Wellington, on April 3rd, 1918, and recommended by a Convention held in June, 1917: "That, failing the adoption of the National Efficiency Board's report," the N.Z. Alliance demands that the Licensing Poll be held before the end of the* present year, whether the term of Parliament be extended or not." "That in all votes taken on the Liquor Question the vote of soldiers on active service be taken also, but under proper safeguards." Both these decisions >were conveyed tothe Prime Minister by a deputation BEFORE » the Moderate League's meeting was eren held. As proof of the accuracy of this statement, the minute- book referred to was submitted for examination at the Office at the ' Dominion.'
