The Doctors and Alcohol From an Age of Elixirs
This piece traces how doctors once praised distilled spirits as life giving and medicinal. It argues medical endorsement fueled widespread drinking, warned of growing uncontrollable appetite, and cites English and American physicians who linked prescriptions to rising drunkenness. It concludes temperance reform failed to curb medical use, risking renewed societal harm. It also notes a Missouri murderer offering to shoot George Francis Train if pardoned.
