Not many years ago the victim of
consumption was urged. in many cases
by physicians to stimulate freely.
Some cures were said to have resulted
from the liberal use of whisky. Now
alcoholism is recognized as one Of the
chief causes of increased mortality in
consumption and declarations to that
effect at the recent tuberculosis con-
gress in Great Britain excited no con-
troversy. The temptation to use slim
ulants in wasting diseases is very
great, but it may be doubted if whisky
ever permanently benefited any real
sufferer from consumption.
