ATTITUDE OF MEDICAL MEN
Use Of Alcohol for Medicinal Purposes
Rapidly Dlmnishin9-Does Not
Stimulate Heart.

Dr. Richard c. Cabot contributes the
Following explanation as to the pres
ent day attitude OF physicians towards
alcohol:
Inc use OF alcohol as a medicine
IS steadily and rapidly diminishing.
IL Is true that the use of all drugs
nag also fallen of considerably, but
this change is more striking as re-
CARDS alcohol There are three main
purposes for which alcohol has been
used as medicine:
~ As a quick stimuant-for faint
ing, exhaustion, and extreme cold.
This service doctors now generally
agree is better performed by hot cof-
lee hot tea or hot soup. The heat
is the main thing.
90 As a support TO the heart in
heart disease and IL feyers. Here the
use OF alcohol stlll continues. but Il is
constantly and steadily diminishing,
because research has shown that II
does not stimulate a bad ~ good heart
action, as was formerly supposed.
some physicians believe that alcohol
helps the patient In his fght against
the germs. but the weight Of opinion
Is against this. By most physicians
alcohol Is still occasionally used In
levers and in diabetes for a purpose
still TO be mentioned.
(3) As a food Though alcohol Do
undoubtedly poison TO the nervous
system this harmful effect is neutral
lzed In some cases OF illness by the
fact that It does supply fuel and en-
ergy to the body. When other foods
are rejected twholly or in par) by
the stomach or when. as In diabetes.
certain common foods cease to bene-
nj the body, alcohol may be valuable.
out this Is comparatively rare"
In a recent article in the Boston
Medical and Surgical Journal DR.. Ca
bot contributed some interesting fig
ures showing the diminished use of
alcohol in the Massachusetts General
hospital. The figures. showing also
diminished use Of other drugs as we'll.
have been arranged in both tabular
and chart form and used as an ex-
hibit at the Boston 1915" exposi-
tion.
In 1898 the hospital expended
total for alcohol drinks OF s2,322. or
46 cents per patient. These figures
were increased the following year to
$4,000, or 81 cents per patient. Since
that time there has been a steady de-
crease, and In 1907 the total cost OF
alcoholic stlmu!ants used was but
SSl3. or l3 cents per patient Dur
Ing the same period the cost Of other
medicines administered also de-
creased. not because OF lessened
prices for drugs. but because fewer
medicines OF any sort are now admin
istered.

T0PERS IN LONDON SCHOOLS
Investigator Reports Habit Of Drink
Ing Alcohol Among Children
Widespread In English City.

"Do children drink alcohol?"
The question was put to +. G. Mack
ereth of London, who has been max.
ing inquiry into the matter, and he
made answer at meeting of tho
Women's Temperance league which
greatly Mortified the good women
there. In one school alone. he said he
found that 40 per cent of the chill
dren were regular alcohol drinkers.
In fact from the investigations he
had made he had come to the conclu-
sion that there must be something
like 100000 child drinkers In London
and probably 100000 in the large
towns and districts. Parents, in sheer
ignorance, often gave their children
strong drink because they thought IL
was good for them. and a woman pres
ent at the meeting volunteered the
information that she knew for fact
in some public schools beer was al
most compulsory.

opers OF athletic material even down
to the preparatory schools, and they
are constantly discovering new cham
pions.
Some Of the greatest American ath.
letes of the day were discovered acci-
dentally when there was no indication
that they possessed any particular
ability.
An example Of how a coach can
bring out man who doesn't know
that he is good, is found in j. p. Jones.

the amateur mile record last spring
Under the English system Jones
would never have been heard Of. lie

had not been there, Jones would prob
ably have quit in disgust soon after he
started.
Hundreds of examples might be
pointed out where athletes have been
improved wonderfully in a short time
by the correction of a simple fault
that they would never have found out
themselves.
When Mike Murphy went back to
the University OF Pennsylvania this
last time he found there a youth named
Haskins, good for about 4:4O in the
mile. Haskins had tried and tried, and
was about to give 1t up Three weeks
under Murphy saw Haskins doing 4:2S
consistently. and the next year he
owned the intercollegiate record for
the mile.
IN 1905 Ernie Hjertberg, who is now
coaching the Swedish athletes, got
hold of James p. Sullivan, willing
young miller, whose limit seemed to be
around 4:42. Hjertberg to everyone's
surprise put Sullivan to running 220-
yard dashes; cutting out altogether his
customary distance work. Right up to
the day of the championship young
Sullivan got his sprint diet
Then Hjertberg sent him into the
mile event with instructions to wait
until the last 22O and beat 1t. Sulli-
van not only won his race, but he ran
the fastest mile ever done by an
American born athlete up to that
time-4:22 4-5 Had he been left to
himself, Sullivan would have been still
doing long work In training and 4:40
in his races.
