CLAIMS DRINK WORST
ENEMY OP MANKIND
Chicago.—National prohibition for,
the benefit of miltary and civilian
population alike, the necessity of
each county in the United States
sending a Quota of 20 per cent of
its medical men, into army service,
and the withdrawal of doctors gen
erally from association after the
war with German scientists until
Germany has purged itself of guilt,
were the features of the address of
Arthur Dean Bevan of Cbicaggo, 'n
stalled Tuesday night as president oC
the American Medical association.
Dr. Charles May of Rochester,
Minn., retiring president; Surgeon
General Gorgas, U. S. A., Surgeon
General Bralsted, U..S. N., Assistant
Surgeon Rucker of the army and J
medical emissaries from the! nations J
of the entent attended the war
meeting of the association, in addi
tion to hundreds of physicians and •
surgeons from all sections of the
country here for the sectional meet
ings of the asosciation which begin
Wednesday.
In hi» address Dr. Bevan paid spar1
ciai tribute to the work .of Surgeon
General Gorgas and called attention
to the fact that the army deatE
j rate has been less than 10 per thous
j and in the mobilization and concen-1
I tration camps of the "twice as good
as the record held by any country j
prior to this time." He saidlt
"The health of the men is better
looked after in the army and navy
than, it was when the men were still
in civil life."
Styling the elimination of alco
i holic drink the ggreatest single fac- i
tor that can be controlled in the in
terest of public health, Dr. Bevan '
said: |
'In the slow evolution of civiliza-'
tion, many great wrongs became so
• entrenched that it required1 centuries
of education or revolution to ex
tirpate them. Among'these great
wrongs, too long tolerated, none has
done more Injury to mankind thaal
drink. Now the swiftly moving
course of events is writing the death!
warrant of rule by 'divine right' and
science and education should elimin-1
ate not only plagues and epidemics
but also the curse of drtik from the :
world."
