MEDICAL EXPERTS
DO NOT ADVISE IT
Whiskey Not Recommended
In Influenza and Pneu-
monia Cases. Re-
suit Harmful.

Much Is being said just now as to
the necessity for alcoholic liquors in
the treatment of pneumonia. It is
evident that lovers of liquor are try
Ing TO put up case for their side,
even as patent medicine manufacture
ers are doing with ''cures" for the
epidemic witt, which our country is
stricken. The cry that whisky is nec-
essary to cure influenza or its accom-
panying pneumonia does not come
from physicians, but from the laity
who are always ready to give medical
advice unasked.
When la grippe swept the country
years ago, the medical profession gave
whisky full trial, with the result
that many physicians unqualitiedly
condemned alcoholic liquor as rem
edy, saying that deaths we're more
frequent when whisky was given than
when it was not used. Among che
outspoken opponents of the use of
alcohol in pneumonia at the time was
DR.. Nathan S. Davis. dean of the
medical school of Northwestern Uni
yersity, Chicago. In a paper read be-
fore the American Medical AssOcia-
tion, DR.. Davis told of his own expert
ence in Mercy hospital, Chicago.
During a period of thirty years he
had never allowed any alcoholic
liquors to be given to patient in any
disease. While other hospitals, then
using large quantities of whisky in
pneumonia, had death rates ranging
from % to SO per cent, Mercy hospital
with no alcohol given, had only u
per cent death rate. This led many
physicians to experiment. in the treat
ment Of pneumonia without alcoholic
liquor. Among these was DR.. Alex
ander Lambert of New York City,
who after careful watching Of his
cases in Bellevue hospital, said that
the death rate in pneumonia was ten
per cent higher when alcoholic liquor
was used. DR.. Henry Kowlik has
also experimental with and without
whisky in pneumonia in Bellevue hos
pital and has abandoned its use. (See
journal of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION for November IL 1911.
Last year the writer ol bhiS article
sent QUESTIONABLE to thousands of
physicians asking their opinion of the
use of alcoholic liquors in pneumonia.
A great many answers were re-
ceived, nearly all of which said that
alcoholic liquors were dangerous, the
reasons assigned being that alcohol
lowers resistance to disease and weak
ems the heart, already weakened by
the disease.
Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson
when connected with the London
Temperance Hospital, gave an inter
eSting account of his non-alcoholic
treatment OF pneumonia without al
coholic liquor. AS only medicine
used, he gave three or i've grain
tabloid of bicarbOnate of ammonia dis
olyed in a cup of coffee, or of coffee
with milk and sugar. Careful feeding
he insisted upon. In Cornell medical
school, New York City, Prof. Meara
tells his students not to give whisky
in pneumonia cases.
The old s.lperstitions as to the re-
medal virtues of whisky die hard.
but are dying with the people who
really study this question. AS Sir
Victor Horsely, the great London sur
geon, said: mo one who has closely
investigated the action of alcohol in
recent years perscribes alcohol.

Good Chance in the Navy.

The Navy is again open for recruit
ing. For some time we had shut

going on inactive duty or being dis
charged, and we have resumed re-
cruiting to fill up the gaps. There
are hundreds Of young men who have
attained the age of Is years lately.
Besides, we are again taking boys of

consent, with all the advantages of
peace. as far as pay and emoluments
are concerned. There are fifty odd
trades that young men may learn in
the Navy.

Rare Bank Note.

A rare English bank note is in the
possession of Mr.. Vesey Holt. The
note is dated 1921 and is the issue OF
the Bank of England. After the Ma
poIeonic wars England was short OF
gold, and as a temporary expedient
the Bank of England put number OF
five dollar bank notes into circulation,
until the gold reserve was restored. In
appearance they closely resemble q
twenty-five dollar note, and bear no
likeness to the English paper money OF
today.

''Now, let's play supposing you be

"Papa, Edward was a bad boy today"
Whereupon Edward said: "Oh, amt

Here is a suggestion that may save
you lifelong remorse: When you have
an important decision to make, sleep
over it. don't mean that when you
meet a bear on narrow trail you
should take a nap before you decide
whether to advance or retard. You
know what I mean.-Los Angeles

EARL P. MENEFEE.

Earl P. Menefee, only sen of Mr..
and Mrs. D. G. Menefee, died Jan. 18th,
1919, after a ten days illness from
bronchial pneumonia. He was born
at Marshfield, Wis, Dec. END, 1902,
and was just passed sixteen. He was
a member of the Eagle River High
School Junior Glass of 1918, and last
year Joined his father in the business
of the Villas County News and after his
next birthday would have had half
interest in the same Jan I, 1920 hav-
ing reached the age of seventeen.
Naturally, being the son of intensely
American parents, the events OF the
past two years had strongly appealed
to him and he endeavored to enlist in
the navy of the United States last
summer but was rejected on account
of age.
Besides his parents sister, and
grandmother he leaves many friends
who regret that a life SO young should
be taken before the fulfillmen emit of the
successful career that without doubt
would have been his had the ordinary
span of life been given to him, and the
many friends of the family feel the
deepest sympathy for them in their
loss.
Brief funeral services were held at
the home Wednesday morning, con-
Quoted by Rev. w. R. Dixon, of Anti

came up especially to hold the last
rites over the son of his friends of long
standing.

pleasure to work with him practically
the entire time that he had devoted
to his trade and to coach him in the
rudiments of his work at the case.
Naturally 1 knew him in his every

He was typically an American boy
and that fact sums up his activities
in whatever he undertook. The mis-
chievous pranks of his boyhood
brought many smile to those who
were fortunate enough to understand
boy life. AS his youthful years un-
folded he rounded out into the man
as few boys do at that early age and
with his development he acquired
broad sense of judgement between
the right and wrong-a keener sense
of it than many an older person has.

DR.. Pratt Also Criticises Bank
in Round Table Talk.

DIR. 10. e. Pratt, former chief of the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, Department of Commerce, said
yesterday that the financial position of
the United States is weak because of
our loans to Europe, and that the low
rate OF foreign exchange indicates n
failure of American banks to meet q
financial situation. He criticised the
Administration for overlooking the trade
opportunities created since the armis-
tice stating that the British trade
through Cologne was greater In the
two months of July and August. 1919,
than II was In the year preceding the
war.
mo greater error was made by our
Government than its almost complete
neglect of our trade and foreign inter-
ests during the war;" he said. Great
Britain never for a moment lost sight
OF the commercial advantages of the
situation. The question now is, will
anyone In Washington take real in
terest In business, particularly In the
business problems involved in trade with
Central Europe? The outlook is very
barren"
DR.. Pratt said that while the low
value OF the German mark makes Il
dimcut for Germany to purchase raw
materials. II is favorable to her ex-
ports He held that with our high
prices and manufacturing costs II is not
possible at this time to compete with
Germany In trade.
