S., of Nottingham, akeen and able clinical practitioner, abandoned theprescription of alcohol in 1832, saying:—. “I have amply tried both ways.
I gave alcohol in my practicefor twenty years, and have now practiced without it for thelast thirty years or more. My experience is, that acute diseaseis more readily cured without it, and chronic diseases muchmore manageable. I have not found a single patient injuredby the disuse of alcohol, or a constitution requiring it; indeed,to find either, although I am in my seventy-seventh year, I wouldwalk fifty miles to see such an unnatural phenomenon. If Iordered or allowed alcohol in any form, either as food or asmedicine, to a patient, I should certainly do it with a feloniousintent.”— Ipswich Tracts. 346.In 1839 Dr. Julius Jeffreys drew up a medicaldeclaration which was signed by seventy-eightleaders of medicine and surgery.

Methylic, propylic, butylic, and amylic alcoholswere tested purely from the physiological point of view. Theywere tested exclusively as chemical substances apart from anyquestion as to their general use and employment, and freefrom all bias for or against their influence on mankind forgood or for evil.“The method of research that was pursued was the samethat had been followed in respect to nitrite of amyl, chloroform,ether, and other chemical substances, and it was in the followingorder: First, the mode in which living bodies would takeup or absorb the substance was considered.

This settled, thequantity necessary to produce a decided physiological changewas ascertained, and was estimated in relation to the weight ofthe living body on which the observation was made.
