at all. I am medical director of the Scranton Sanitarium, and I
have considerable trouble in trying to cure those who use
alcohol, and to undo some of the work my fellow practitioners

tinctures. Cases of delirium tremens receive no alcohol. The
hypodermic use of alcohol is not permitted in cases of shock.
There are other much more effective and less depressing
diffusable stimulants.

"Few physicians now credit alcohol as a food (that is, as a
