HOW MUCH LIQUOR A
SICK MAN NEEDS.
Is the Prescribing' of Liquor a
Privilege That is Abused.
Warren II. Hooker, in Charlotte
Observer.
".hist a little on account of
sickness." That used to be an
okl excuse, for keeping the jug
around the house. Now it Is be-coming-
an excuse for getting
"whiskey by the pint or quart
from the drug stores. Tlie ipns
t.ion has been raised it' pp'.serib
ing lienor U not, in some eases,
getting it "linger false jiretcii.se."
or at least a privilege that) is
abused. This tei:dt ncy, it bis
been noticed, has been on, the in
crease within recent years.
In order to get id the facts in
the case, to learn definitely if t lie
general attitude of the medical
profession, is to increase or de
crease the use ot alcoliolie li
quors in treating lisease, ami to
establish a rough standard, rule
or guide showing1 the average
quantity of alcoliolie liquor now
used by the best authorities on
medicine, the Secretary of the
State Board of Health wrote to
a number of the best hospital in
the country, aril to all the phy
sicians in the State who have
been officers in the State Medi
cal Society during the last five
years, and asked them to give
definite facts as to the number
u patients they treated in a
year, together with the total
amount of liquor prescribed.
A great many answers were
received. From these it was
found that, 1'ur a total of 1SG.0.VJ
.patients treated during one year
a total of 001 gallons of whiskey
ami brandy were prescribed. This,
reduced down, proved to 1h an
average t.f about three-fourths
i" a tablesp'ionful per patient
during the entire year. This re
jni'.t, from such a large number t '
eascrom the yjiractiee ircpu-
eart only be construed as being
an index as to what const i'tutts
good 'pract ice in regard to the
ase of liquor as medicine, x
rrom the replies received to
the letters of inquiry, two impor
tant, points were brought out:
(1) A .great many of the doc
tors stated1 that they were using
much less liquor now than they
id id from five to 10 or l.' years
ago, and that, too, paitent.s are
more successfully treated than
when more liquor was prescribed.
(2) It could not Wut be noted
that, in general, doctors who had
received their degrees in medi
cine within the last. 10 years were
prescribing a great deal less li
quor than doctors who graduat
ed prior to that time. A great
many of the very best doctors of
the younger set prescribed no
liquor whatsoever.
From these two .points it ap
pears that unmistakably thV ten
dency in the best medical prac
tice of tho present dav is to le-
reasc rather than increase the
mailt it v of Honor ni-cscrihtd.
One of tbe ino.st striking lYa
tures of tlie whole matter is that
while the best medical practice
both ia tbe State and in. large
hospitals outside the State hw
a strong tendency to decrease the
amount of liquor prescribe!, yet
tho (U'tual amount of liquor pre
scribed ly the profession as a
whole is believed to be largely
increased during1 recent years,
and it will be notrtl that this in
crease is coincident with the more
rigid enforcement of our prohib
ition laws.

In view

(d the tacts in the

must be admitted that very few,
if any, physicians voluntarily pre
scribe much of the liquor that is
now bought at drug stores. Mind
pressure us brought to bear up
on them by a certain class of pa

nillpeal to this class of people,
tiny could, without causing of
fense, avoid doing what their
consciences decree is wro'f. In
other words, we believe that a
remedy for such conditions would
be more welcome to doctors than
to any one ele.
For a simple, direct means of
effecting this -aid, it niight be
well to add a clause to our search
