Alcohol: A Dangerous and Unnecessary Medicine, How and Why
What Medical Writers Say
Alcohol: A Dangerous and Unnecessary Medicine, How and Why is a temperance handbook by Martha Meir Allen, superintendent of the Department of Medical Temperance of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union. She sets out to show, from the writings of physicians and researchers of her day, that alcohol has no place in medicine. Chapters trace the history of scientific study of alcohol, its effects on the body and its role in disease, temperance hospitals that treated patients without it, comparative death rates, alcoholic patent medicines and the reasons doctors kept prescribing it, with a chapter of testimonies by physicians. It documents the medical side of the temperance movement. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
