Note 370 — Chapter XV
Reading edition
Dr. Anstie’s two works, “Stimulants and Narcotics,” and “The Use of Wines in Health and Disease.” See Also Dr. T. P. Lucas on “The True Action and Physiological Results of Alcohol,” pp. 140, 141 (a strong temperance work); “On Chronic Alcoholic Intoxication,” p. 9, by W. Marcet, M.D., F.R.S. (Churchill); “The Effects of Alcohol on the Nervous System,” by Dr. Hammond in “The Psychological and Medico-Legal Journal,” July 1874, New York. The records of discussions amongst guardians of the poor where objection has been made to the use of beer as an article of diet also tend in the same direction. At a recent meeting of the West Derby Board, for example, the medical officers, one of whom is a total abstainer, distinctly expressed their determination to continue administering alcohol as a medicine.
