NOTED ALIENIST
ENDORSES PROHIBITION
DIR. Adolph Meyer, Director of Phipps
Psychiatric Clinic, Believes Ma
tional Prohibition Only Way To
Check Alcoholism.

National prohibition as the correct
method of lessening alcoholism has
won a distinguished advocate within
the last few weeks in the person Of
DR.. Adolph Meyer, director of the
Phipps Psychiatric Clinic. DR.. Meyer
spoke Monday at a meeting held at
the Baltimore City Club by social
workers and others interested in the
coming prohibition campaign.
DR.. Meyer said that for long
time he had thought that the best
method of dealing with the question
of alcoholism was by endeavoring to
form some method of taking care of
those who do not take care of them
selves. This, he formerly thought,
might be done by a law subjecting
those who were found drunk or who
furnished liquor to drunken man to
an individual examination. DR.. Mey-
er said that he was now convinced
that this would be too difficult to car
ry out, and thought that national
prohibition could bring about better
results. He said that he was con-
vinceed that many began to use iq-
uor who do SO only to assert their
independence and because s legal
to do so.
