Sir Arthur went on to discuss evidence he

Ridgley Martin of North Baltimore, Ohio, which
said that the writer had attended spirtualist

was to go down to the Federal camps in per-

the States, however, permit the pre-

position that, after all, alcohol is the

whisky, brandy, gin, etc. with SIM

that such a QUESTIONABLE be sent was
put forward by a considerable group
in the house of delegates, but 1t was
opposed by other groups, and finally
the matter was turned over to the
board of trustees as compromise.
Among the members of the Senate
now here who have expressed the
opinion that limits upon the prescrip-
ton of whisky and other liquors will
not be lifted by Congress are Sena-
tors Smoot and King of Utah.
Senator King, while favoring State.
wide prohibition, voted against the
prohibition amendment to the Con.
stitution and against the Volstead
act. Senator Jones of Washington.
one of the recognized leading drys
in Congress, also took the view
that no legislation would be enacted
removing all restrictions on the amount
of whisky that might be prescribed
by a physician. At the same time
Senator Jones believes that reason.
able changes in the restrictions might
be undertaken il they were deemed
wise. He insisted, however, that the
restrictions must be such as to pre-
vent unlimited supplies Of liquor on
prescription or otherwise.
The last struggle over the prescrip.
tion of alcoholic beverages in Con.
gress took place several years ago
and resulted in the passage Of the
Willis bill, amending the prohibition
act SO as to prohibit the prescription
of beer by physicians. This amend.
ment to the law has been upheld by
the Supreme Court Of the United
States. although it was attacked on
the ground that under the Constitu-
tion prohibition runs only against in
toxicating liquors used for beverage
purposes.

Physicians themselves are by no
means unit over the use of whisky
in the treatment of illness, or, indeed,
over the value of alcohol as a drug
for such treatment. Many of them
hold that there is nothing done for
the physician by alcohol that cannot
be done as well or better by other
drugs. DR.. William J. Mayo has been
quoted to that effect.
If the board of trustees Of the
American Medical Association under
takes to address a QUESTIONABLE to
all physicians in the United States on
the value of alcohol and alcoholic
liquors in the practice of medicine,
as now proposed. the tabulation of
the answers will occasion widespread
interest. The medical association is
opposed to being made an adjunct
either to the drys or the vets. The
association. however. is intent upon
protecting the medical profession
from legislative encroachment upon
its proper functioning.
