Of clothes in which the .nicctics

speech of considerable number of
persons In their homes. 1t long since
ceased to be recognizable as German,
and English it never was. In it, stu

English, Welsh, French and even Gaze

THE MEDICAL PROFESSION IL
E AGAINST ALCOHOL.

The following are excerpts from the
Inaugural address of DR.. Arthur Dean
Bevan, president of the American
Medical association, at the annual
meeting of that body:
"Each member of the medical pro-
fessson. each county medical society.
each state medical society. should take
an active part In the propaganda
against drink and secure national pro-
hihition not years from now, but now
when 1t is so badly needed and will
accomplish SO much good not only for
our boys in khaki and in blue but for
the nation in arms.
"There can be no doubt of the in.
furious effects of alcoholic drinks on
both the physical and mental well-be-
ing Of our population. There can be
no doubt that the greatest single factor
we can control in the interests Of the
public health of the nation would be
the elimination of alcoholic drink.
II want to plead for the united ac-
tfon of the organized medical profess
sion OF this country to secure protec-
tion by law against the injury that
drink is doing to our people, not as e.
political measure, but as the most inn
portant health measure that could be
secured. In this crisis, when we and
our allies are fighting not only for our
selves but also for humanity and civ.
tlization, we must organize the entire
nation in the most efficient way pos
slble, and this cannot be done without
eliminating drink"
The address of Doctor Bevan was so
enthusiastically applauded as to leave
no doubt of the approval Of the three
or four thousands Of physicians and
their friends in the audience.
