Everyone test and served by Huron Hensail, Mr. Editor: In deference temperance people of Huron, I made a month’s intensive study of the liquor problem at New York and four other large centres. We want­ ed to- learn the last word of authen­ tic information and just how ser­ ious was the liquor meiiace, also what was being done elsewhere to effectually meet it and what care was provided for the casualties. /Some of us, especially at election time, are apt to treat this problem lightly, as something of less moment than a reduction of hydro bill or car license and of vastly less im­ portance than staying with the old Party .Ship, even when a wet flag is found flapping on its mast. It has taken me another month to assimilate and assort my data, and I am mailing these to you in a series of articles, any one of which will not' be too long. Our objective then, in this introductory article is to em­ phasize the importance of the sub­ ject matter whic/h is to follow. 'The next article will deal with “Liquor and the Individual” and the next “Liquor and Politics” and more. to follow if your (patience be not ex­ hausted. Passing over an interesting day’s journey, we will take you directly to Bellevue Hospital, New York. On introducing myself I remarked that no doubt it was quite a usual occur­ rence for a Canadian doctor to come down to their institution to study their treatments for inebriety. I was assured that in t/heir exper­ ience it had never happened before. “Doctors shy clear of this sort of thing,” one remarked in true Yan­ kee first tors read as 6,000 alcoholic cases per year were being treated at Bellevue. “Oh that must have been in prohib­ ition days, for we are treating over 12,000 alcoholic cases per year new1' said one of the doctors. .So that was my second surprise. Twice as many alcoholic casualties as in those terrible prohibition days when boot­ leggers and hip-pocket drinkers were making so many drunkards. But evidently I had come to the right place for study, to substantiate formative views which I had of my own, and an unequalled opportunity to -get the viewpoint of eminent doctors who had been in this work for many years. I also had the op­ portunity of discussing the problem from a social and economical stand­ point with several intelligent pa­ tients, for these were not ordinary police court drunks but all of them confirmed inebriates, ages from 16 to 70, women 1 to 5 men, coming or sent, to Bellevue for treatment for a definitely established diseased condition of alcoholism. 'The doctors were most kind and courteous and during my stay there for five hours every day I was given every facility to study 300 cases in all stages of treatment. .Some were bed-ridden, others in bath robes or wheel-chairs, others being ltehabilit- ed by different forms of therapy, physiological, (psychological and vo­ cational. When we think of this vast num­ ber, 12,000 a year, in just one col­ lier of New York trying to rid them­ selves Of a disease caused by the same commodity that we are selling at Hensall, Seaforth, Goderich, and Zurich, we ask what hope of cure do these patients have? only about 25 per cent recover. In other words, I the chance for cure for alcholism is i last Thursday after visiting for sev- less than one half that of a cure for ’ oral days with, her daughter Mrs. cancer. ) Howard Anderson, of Washington, A.
