MEDICINES AND PROHIBITION.
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION’S PROTEST.
WANT GOVERNMENT CONTROL
(Press Association .—Copyright.) (Received 1.10 p.m.) New York, May 25
A telegram from Atlantic City states that Dr. Cramp, director of the American Medical Association’s bureau of investigation, told delegates to the Association’s Convention that prohibition cannot be successful until certain patent medicines are suppressed, which are designed to furnish the public with beverages of highly alcoholic contents. Dr. Cramp named sixty of these beverages, which, he said produced intoxication without ill effects from any drug. He admitted that a campaign against these might result in an increased consumption, but urged that they should be put under Government control. Dr Cramp said their obvious intent is to furnish a berevage rijther than a medicine. The American Association strongly disapproves of the sale of such preparations under the guise of medicines.
