WHAT THE DOCTOR SAYS.
“Alcohol even in the smallest doses directly destroys all power of mental concentration that is necessary to original research work. Original ideas in science, or in musical composition are prevented by the use of this substance.”—Professor John C. Hemmeter, M.D., Johns Hopkins University Medical School, Baltimore, Maryland.
“It is my opinion that alcoholic liquors have no place whatever in the treatment of disease. They are beverages not medical agents. That they are of use to the medical man is ‘bunk.’ I know of no high-class medical man who commends them except as beverages.”—Robert W. Gibbes, M.D., Columbia, S. Carolina.
