that the human family would be benefited by its entire exclusion
from the field of remedial agents."--DR. J. S. CAIN, Dean of the
Faculty, Medical Department, University of the South, Sewanee,
Tenn.

"Let me cite my experience in surgery for the last three years
in proof of the uselessness of alcohol, and the benefit of
abstinence from its administration. During that time I have
performed more than one thousand operations, a large portion
upon cases of railroad injuries, one hundred for appendicitis,
and in none of these was alcohol administered in any form,
either before, during, or after operations. I defy any one who
still adheres to alcohol to show as good results. Equally
gratifying results have been obtained with my medical cases, and
I fail to understand how any observing and thinking physician

methods for combating, governing, and controlling disease."--DR.
EVAN C. KANE, Surgeon Pennsylvania Railroad, Kane, Pa.

"In my neurological practice I emphatically forbid my patients
the use of alcohol. This poison has a special predilection for
the nervous system which it influences sometimes to an alarming
extent."--ALFRED GORDON, M. D., Jefferson Medical College,
Philadelphia, Pa.

"Alcohol finds no place in my remedial list. It has been
banished, not from sentiment, but from knowledge secured by
scientific investigation."--T. ALEXANDER MACNICHOLL, M. D., New
York City, one of the founders of the Red Cross Hospital, New
York.

"No sound, scientific argument can be offered for the medical
use of alcohol, either internally or externally. It is a toxic
substance which ought to be retired from the _materia medica_,
and placed in the catalog of obsolete drugs along with tobacco,
lobelia, and like useless but highly toxic drug
substances."--DR. J. H. KELLOGG, Superintendent Battle Creek
Sanitarium, Battle Creek, Michigan.

"The majority of medical men, without making any searching
investigation into the abundant recent literature upon the
subject of alcohol, are disposed to regard it with less and less
favor as the years go by, while those who have closely followed
the thorough investigations into the physiological
