A friend of Cut and Dried sends the
following copy of a letter he says he
sent to the editor of a daily paper:
Dear Sir:
From what you said in your edi-
torial yesterday this fellow Townley
must be. a general all-around crook all
right. You deserve credit for expos
ing him. There are only a few things
you haven't accused him of. For in
stance:
1. Beating his wife.
2. Sucking eggs.
8. Refusing to pay his honest debts.
q. Agreeing with your editorial
policy.
Since he has not sunk as low as this
yet, there is still hope of reform. I
propose the following: Every day,
after your paper is printed, he should
be bound and gagged and forced to
read your editorials. He should be
prodded at intervals to prevent him
falling asl ep. If, at the end of three
weeks of this treatment he has not
laughed himself to death, he is hope

ciety Cites Difficulties Of
Obtaining Alcohol.

The New Castle Medical Society has

views of Or. John b. Deaver, Of Phila-

nculties with which the medical pro-
fession IA confronted in procuring
alcohol for medicinal purposes. Fol-
lowing tho adoption of the resolutions

sent to the physician;
April 2l, 1872.
DIR. John p. Deaver. 1894 Walnut
street, Philadelphia. Pa.
Dear Doctor Deaver:
The attention OF the New Castle
County Medical Society having been
drawn 70 your recent statements In
regard TO the difficulties experienced
by physicians and others in connection
with the use OF alcohol In medicine,
and the statements OF persons CON
nected with the Anti-saloon League
OF America and kindred organizations
that doctors generally are making no
protest, and, therefore, must be more
or less contented with existing condi-
tions. and. that. anyhow. the league
Is not responsible for the existence of
the conditions described. etc., I beg to
advise you that at the last regular
meeting OF the society on Tuesday,
April IS, the following resolution was
adopted;
The secretary IL hereby instructed
TO notify DIR. Denver that the New
Castle County Medical Society unan-
imously indorses his views on this
subject and approves his stand"
And further. In regard TO the point
raised that tho Anti Saloon League is
not interfering with the medical pro-
fession along the lines indicated by
you, we desire TO inform you that here
in Delaware the league did interfere
very much with our profession to the
extent that agents were brought into
the state 70 influence our Legislature
TO pass vexatlous laws, the most an
noying OF which. namely, the Klair
law. was drafted by an Imported
attorney; and Mr.. Klair has said pub.
licly that when he presented eaid bill
he was not aware that II contained
the provisions that makes II no obnox
ious TO our physicians, which Is. that
although In the Volstead law itself 4
is recognized that there may be a use
for alcohol for medicinal purposes II
the form of spirituous liquors. In thi'
state In consequence of the klalr Law
this privilege OF tho Volstead net Il
nullifed and 10 all real intents ant
purposes rendered unavailable. And
besides. all attempts TO have the Law
changed or amended are vigorously
combatted not only by our local pro
hibitionists. but by tho Anti-Salooi
League Of America.
Az TO the actual obtaining OF. alcohol
