This is what "The Lancet" published: In view of the statements frequently made as to present medical opinion regarding alcohol and alcoholic beverages, we, the undersigned, think it desirable to issue the following short statement on the subject—a statement which, we believe, represents the opinions of the leading clinical as well as of the great majority of the medical practitioners. A RAPID AND TRUSTWORTHY RESTORATIVE— Recognising that, in prescribing alcohol, the requirements of the . individual mu«t be the governing rule, we are convinced or correctness of the opinion, so long ana generally held, that in disease alcohol is a rapid and trustworthy restorative, in many cases it may be trulj I 1 cnbed up life-preserving, owing to Us power to sustain cardiac and IIuVUUb wiuio proteoung u»u existing nitrogenous tissues. ALCOHO'L AS A FOOD—AS AN ARTICLE OF DIET WE HOLD THAT THE UNIVERSAL RELIEF OF CIVILISED THAT MODERATE r Vbta Vf ALCOHOLIC BEVERAUES IS, FOR AOULTS, USUALLY BENEFICIAL, IS AiMiPLY J USTIFiEO. Wo deplore the evils arising from the abuse of alcoholic beverages But it & obvious that IS ' FKJIAL, WHICH DOES XsuT, BY JSXCJWsS, BiCOMr, IAJURIOUb. (S ' g Tf McOALL ANDERSON,' M.D., Regius.

That statement impartially expresses the opinion of the grcat; !i of medical men all- over tho world, and the view held by all the great medicalauthorities. Medical science is opposed to.the abuse, and not to tho use of. alcohol. . i IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO NAME.ANY MEDICAL MAN OF THE WTGHEST REPUTE WHO CONDEMNS THE HABITUAL MODERATE USE OF MALT LIQUOR—BEER, ALE, STOUT. ALCOHOL IS NECESSARY. • ■" LEADING NETW ZEALAND OPINION. The Chief Medical Officer and Inspector-General of Hospitals, says:— "Certainly, from what I have seen during the Epidemic, I am convinced.that it is necessary that Alcohol should be available to the people. DR KINGTON FYFFE, President of the British Medical Association, says: In the epidemic the man who took it (alcohol) in moderation had the advantage A man who. took a reasonable amount of alcohol—two or three whiskies a day—did not get the disease so. readily as other people I take alcohol myself, and \ could not have got through tho ' epidemic without it. In my general practice I havo found that a moderate drinker does not get those acute diseases in the Eamo way as a man who does not touch it. That is my experience. DR G. E. ANSON, the well-known Medical Practitioner, says: — > It is certainly false to assort that a moderate use of light wine or beer is ip. any way detrimental to the user or to others The large majority of medical men hear this out.—" Dominion," August 27th, 1918. DO NOT BE MISLED BY DESIGNING PROHIBITIONISTS AND WILY POLITICIANS. Tho Public ought to bo on-thoir guard against tho methods, of the Prohibitionists, who are determined by the Tyranny of a Majority to deprive you and your family of the right and privilege to use Alcohol moderately in health and sickness. DO NOT BE MISLED. Preserve your Rights and Liberties ty striking otit the Bottom'Lines.
