ALCOHOL BRIEFLY
VIEWED FROM A
MODERN STANDPOINT
By B. C. Keister, M. 0.,
Superintendent Sanitarium lor Mental
and Nervous Diseases.
In this age of scientific progress we
are confronted by many important
problems, the proper solution of which
requires the most careful thought and
painstaking Investigation,
A few months ago it was the writ
ers’ privilege and honor to attend, as
one of the official delegates, that grand
scientific meeting held in this city
(Washington), the International Con
gress on Tuberculosis, and to add Ills
mite toward solving the great problem
uf eradicating from this country the
curse of tuberculosis.
The great amount of good accom
plished for humanity by this conven
tion of liberal-hearted, broad-minded
scientific men of the medical profes
sion remains to be seen. But, judging
from the progress already made along
certain lines during the few months
that have elapsed since the conven
tion, we may reasonably infer that a
general revolution is now in progress,
and that the day is rapidly approach
ing when the curse of tuberculosis
will be driven from the face of the
earth.
We are today confronted by even
a greater problem than that of the
“great white plague," and the solu
tion of which demands greater effort,
deeper thought, and a more thorough
investigation on tho part of educators
! and scientists.
We have here a curse in disguise.
! "a wolf in sheep’s clothing," that is
j making shipwreck of no less than 150,
^ sou homes in the United States annual
' ly. and* costing the United States for
I crime, pauperism, insanity, etc., no less
I than $1,884,027,982 yearly.
We have in the United States at
this time about three million hard
arinkers, who have been taught and
! made to believe that alcohol when
, taken as a beverage is a mild stimu
lant and pleasant tonic.
From the above data and a few
| scientific facts that will follow in this
paper you may be able, with some
degree of precision, to get a partial
view of 'he landscape l.i. now cor
j fronts i k.
j in approaching this g.jil subject
j with its varied and completing ave
nues, over which so many of our older
writers have traveled and stumbled, I
can not but feci my inability, as well
as some degree of trepidation, in at
tempting to grapple with such a mon
ster problem.
In our recent laboratory researches j
and clinical experience with instru
ments of precision in the scientific |
study of alcohol and its physiological
action on the human system we find it
rather difficult to reconcile our more
recent findings to the theories and
practices of our forefathers.—Adv.
