The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1908-03-31


At one OF the London public hos.
pitals a special point is made OF giving
alcohol 70 the patients as rarely and
fparely az possible "a and each time
that one OF the physicians does so he
submits q special entry Of the reasons
j that actuated him. Ia the thirty-tWo
years OF the existence OF the hospital
-eieeifoi mas oIfty been given seventy
one times. The cases received are
exactly like those received by all the
other hospitals. For 1904 they num-
bered 1887 in patients only. The
death-rate among these was 7.3 per
cent. For the same year the average
death rate among the other London
public hospitals was 81 per cent.
Therefore the use OF alcohol in sick
ness 10 not 10 be regarded as a neces-
eity. Although most physicians pre-
scribe alcohol In solution with drugs
for their patients-there was one ply
stefan OF national reputation who did
not believe in using alcohol. Many
years ago when Or. r. V. Pierce de-
cided TO put up his valuable vPrescrip-
tom for the diseases of women in
rready 10 usep form he used as
solvent and preventative chemically
pure glycerine OF proper strength,
which Is better solvent and preserya-
tive of the active medicinal principles
residing in most of our indigenous or
native plants than is alcohol. DR..
Pierce found that the glycerine, be-
sides being entirely harmless, possesses
intrinsic medicinal properties, OF great
value.
