a medicine were totally discontinued."--DR. WALTER E. FERNALD,
Professor in Tufts Medical School, Boston, Mass.

"I rarely or never prescribe alcohol as a medicament or a food,
or sanction its use as a beverage. Physiologically I look upon
alcohol as a narcotic, with perhaps a primary stimulating
effect, but I believe that such desired action as it is capable
of producing can be equally well brought about by other agents.
As a beverage the use of alcohol, particularly in excess, is

food."--DR. WILLIAM O. STILLMAN, Albany Medical College,
Albany, N. Y.

"I do not think you will meet with very many physicians who
favor alcohol and its use. I believe the trend of the teaching
in the Albany Medical College is that alcohol is not a food or
stimulant."--DR. A. VANDER VEER, Albany, N. Y., Medical School.
