Abstract

This little book was prepared by the Medical Research Council for the Central Control Board of Liquor Traffic of England and is a model of sanity in the discussion of a subject which is usually seriously befogged by violent affects. The outstanding socially important questions connected with the use of alcohol are discussed in separate chapter heads, such as “Mental Effects of Alcohol,” “Alcohol as a Medicine,” “Alcohol and Longevity,” etc. The book can be heartily recommended not only for its sane discussion, but for its accumulation of facts from a wide survey of the subject. Advocates For and Against would do well to use it as a starting point.
