DEFENDS LIQUOR
USED AS MEDICINE
DR.. John M. Stadter Takes Issue
With Statements Made by
DR.. B. r. Veasey.

The statements made by DR.. B. r. Yea
sey, in a letter to Senator Highheld, III
which he opposed the amending OF the
klair amendment to the Loose law so as
to permit druggists to fill the prescrip-
tions of physicians for alcoholic liquors
for use as medicine, has caused, 1T is said,
considerable discussion among the men,
bers of the New Castle Medical Society.
Dr.. j. NJ. Stadter of 70d Delaware avenue
takes issue with statements contained In
DIR. Feasey's letter, and In a statement
yesterday gave expression to his views on
the subject, and advocated the passage
of the bill which would permit the use of
alcoholic liquors In the practice OF medi-
cine.
That there was an resentment among
those members of the profession, who
favor the bill, brcause of the present re-
striction of their right to use alcohol IN
their practice, DR.. Stadtcr denied, point
ing out the fact that the proposition for
the repeal of the klair law stringencles
was unanimously indorsed by the MEM
hers of the New Castle County Medical
Society.
Being a member of the New Castle
County Medical Society and also MEM
ber of the committee which helped TO
declared. Il know of certainty that the
best recognized authorities on pharmacol-
ogy and therapeutics advise the use OF
alcohol in treating various diseases. DIR.
Arthur Cushy, Silas Cohen Doctor Hare,
William Anders and A. G. Wood, all
eminent authorities who specialize in the
action of drugs, In their numerous puhll-
cations show that they favor the use of
liquor in certain cases, and their opinion
: not TO be ignored.
''In every community we find n few
doctors opposed TO the use of alcoholic
liquors for medicinal purposes, but on the
other hand it is a well-known fact that the
majority of physicians are in favor of
prescribing brandy and whisky in nu-
nerous cases. They regard 1t as helping
agent, whose services cannot be easily
dispensed with.
DIR. Stadter pointed 90 the successful

construction, where at one time 4,500

and Surgical authorities, DIR. Stadter
contended, agree that In treating pneu-
fhonia, typhoid fever, influenza, diabetes
and septic conditions alcohol is almost
indispensable. 1T has never been proved
that alcohol is not essential in the
medical profession
The doctor expressed desire that the
Legislators take into consideration the
