The four medical men practising in Otamaru have signed the following statement: —“'ln viow, of the fact that commissioners from Australia and others visiting Oamaru to inquire into the working of no-license appear to have formed erroneous impressions which reflect upon the drinking,habits of tliis community wc think it advisable that our united experience should bo made public. We find in making our continual visile to the homes of tho people that there is no evidence to show that drinking in . homes is more prevalent now than it was in licensed times. Our united •experience shows that there is a decrease in the cases treated which result from alcoholism. We are convinced that no-license has been a great benefit to the community from a moral and health point of view.”
