the medical profession toward whiskey
for use in illness was denounced by DR..

at the American Institute of Homeo-

The anti-saloon leagues contention
that only 80 per cent of doctors regard
whiskey of sufficient value as medicines

downright falsehood," he declared.
"Whiskey, he added is a valuable tonic

said, hope for time when much of the
present red tape" IS eliminated and
when they win be trusted enough to
prescribe whiskey as they would any
other medicine"
