AEAA@
ATTITUDE OF MEDICAL MEN
Rapidly IDiminishing-Does Not
Stimulate Heart.

DR.. Richard c.. Cabot contributes the
following explanation as to the pres
ent day attitude Of physicians towards
alcohol:
The use of alcohol as a medicine
Is steadily and rapidly diminishing.
1t Is true that the use of all drugs
has also fallen off considerably, but
this change is more striking as re-
CARDS alcohol There are three main
purposes for which alcohol has been
used as medicine:
ID AS a quick s~timulant-for faint
Ing, exhaustion, and extreme cold.
This service doctors now generally
agree Is better performed by hot cot
Zee, hot tea or hot soup. The heat
is the main thing.
CD AS a support to the heart in
heart disease and in fevers. Here the
use OF alcohol still continues. but it is
constantly n steadily diminishing,
because research has shown that it
does not stimulate a bad or good heart
action, as was formerly supposed.
Some physicians believe that alcohol
helps the patient in his fight against
the germs, but the weight of opinion
Is against this. BY most physicians
alcohol is still occasionally used in
fever and in diabetes for a purpose
still to be mentioned.
S) AS a food. Though alcohol is
undoubtedly a poison to the nervous
system this harmful effect is neutral
lied In some cases of illness by the
1act that 1t does supply fuel and en-
ergy to the body. When other foods
are rejected (wholly or in part) by
the stomach or when. as in diabetes,
certain common foods cease to bene-
ut the body, alcohol may be valuable.
put this is comparatively rare"
In a recent article in the Boston
Medical and Surgical Journal DR.. Ca
Dot 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 well,
have been arranged in both tabular
and chart form and used as an ex-
hibit at the Boston 1915" exposi-
ton.
In 1898 the hospital expended a
total for alcohol drinks Of $2,322, or
40 cents per patient. These figures
were increased the following year to
$4,000, Or 81 cents per patient. Since
that time there has beer a steady de-
crease, and in 1907 the total cost of
alcoholic stimulants used was but
1913, or 13 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.

OUR MOST COSTLY FOLLY
Running to the Courts With Every Dis
pute is Marked American
Character istic.

If one were asked to name the
costliest folly known in this coun-
try he would not be far from the
mark if he should say it was the
American craze for litigation. In
some communities, especially the
small ones in rural districts, a mans
Importance seems to be measured by
the number of law suits he has on
hand, and he who has none is often
regarded as d person of slight con-
sequence.
But the habit of going to law is
not confined to small neighborhoods
nor to persons Of t~riliing affairs, as a
single instance will show. There is
now in process of settlement in a
neighboring state the estate of a
man which at the time of his death
was valued at Si,000,o00. Rival
claimants to the property engaged
in litigation which has extended over
a period Of several years, and now,
as the end approaches, it is said the
estate has dwindled to about $4,000.
Manifestly, the parties to this liti-
CATION have made a heavy invest
ment in experience, but u~nhappily
