MR BOOTH'S GOLDEN REMEDY. TO THE EDITOR.
Sir,—Mr R. T. Booth, in a letter in your issue of this morning says: "As for Mr Warburton's contention that the doctors are quite as anxious to do away with drink and drinking as myself, I can only smile a very big smile. Why, Sir, if there was no strong drink in this country the doctor's occupation, like Othello's, would be gone."
Well, Sir, admitting for the sake of argument, the correctness of this somewhat sweeping assertion, what, I would ask Mr Booth, would in that case become of his own occupation as a member of a firm (Booth, Jago, and Co.) vending a quack remedy (?) for the " liquor habit" ;or even as a teetotal lecturer ? It seems to me, Sir, that Mr Warburton's contention is obviously correct, and that the doctors are at least as anxious as Mr Booth to do away with drink.—l am, &c.
