WHAT BISHOP REDWOOD SAYS.

To brand New Zealnnders, who are gonerally a sober community, as a drink-soddon people, demanding drastic legislation, is a vile and monstrous calumny. The whole echomo of national prohibition is a great step backward; it would bo an odious and inquisitorial tyranny, foreign to the basic principle and spirit of British law.—Advt.

LIQUOR AND INFLUENZA.

MEDICINE IN THE HOUSE. (From a, Special Correspondent.) The. probability of a recrudescence of tho influenza epidemic brings up at this time tho question in relation to to-rnorrow s licensing poll. Some recent pronouncements by leaders in medical faculty will be read with great interest. Sir Malcolm Morris, K.C.V.0.. F.R.C.S., president ol the Institute of Hygiene, at u conference called by the Institute on February 28th,; 1919, to consider influenza and its prevention, said: "Alcohol is not essential tor the prevention or the treatment of influenza. ' Dr !>• Turner, F.R.C.S., is a leading London practitioner, and has lectured on venereal disease in tho Army with great acceptance to tho officers and men. He has Jcept a record of an unbroken series of 2300 cases ot influenza which ho has treated, ending in comploto recovery, with no complication* and without a single death. He described in the British Medical Journal for March Bth 1919, how in tho epidemic ranging in fondon since October, 1918. ho had treated 535 cases, all with temperatures of 105.5 to 105 degrees, and of virulent type; all recovered without pneumonia or other complications. Dc Turner says in a recent letter:--"I have not ordered any alcohol whatever during influenza, eithci in this epidemic or any other of the earlier ones; thoy do not require it, as far as I can see. The publio should remember that, m no event of Prohibition being carried, alcohol for modicinal purposes will f be available. The Act specially provides for it, and tho Minister for Health in the National Government specially mentioned that provision would bo made to obtain it without payment of doctors' fees. These facts shou d be carefully weighed by electors—(Published by arrangement).
