THE NORTH PARK W. C. 7. U.

Geo. w. Webster, NJ. d, President of
Illinois State Board of health says.
"Th.re is no such thing as public well
fare without public health. Again he
says, The alcohol problem is intimately
interviewer with our whole modern life,
with politics, with the industries, with
government revenue; but I will speak
from the public health side of the ques-
tion. believe the prevention of alco-
holjsm, which is pre- ventable disease,
comes as much within the sphere of
action of the medical health officer as
tuberculosis or smallpox.
In conclusion he says, 1.-The alcohol
problem is more important than the
tuberculosis problem as list it costs more
lives and money. 3nd it probably causes
10 per cent, directly or indirectly, all
the deaths in the U. S. Sth it is poison
and should be classified as such instead
of as food or stimulant, 10th more may
be accomplished by teaching the people
the truth in regard to the fatal effects
of alcohol upon mental and physical
efficiency than by expatiating upon the
wickedness of drinking.
Public opinion demands that the act
ton and influence of alcohol be determ
ined and settled by the medical profes-
sion, and that we teach the people the
truth fully and fearlessly.
