MEDICAL MEN'S TESTIMONY. Per Press Association. OAMAIttJ, April 30. The four medical men practising in Oamaru, have signed the following statement —" In view of the fact that commissioners from Australia, and others visiting Oamaru to. enquire into the working of no-license, appear to have formed erroneous impressions, which reflect npon the drinking habits of this community,-we think it advisable that our united experience should be made public. We find, in making our continual visits to the homes of the people, that there is no evidence to show that drinking in the homes is. more preval-r <-nt now- than it was in licensed times. Our united experience, shows that there is a decrease in cases treated,, which result from alcoholism. We are convinced that no-license has been a great benefit to the community from a moral and a health point of view."
