Liquor as Medicine

Dr. Otis, who compiled the medical records of the Union army, said on the subject of using liquor medicinally: "A few years ago I shouldn't have agreed with you on that point, but now I do. Since I have compared in this office the health rolls of regiments where the surgeon refused to give whisky, with those of regiments where whisky was given freely, I am so impressed with the proof of gain from total abstinence that I wonder how so many of our soldiers lived through our whisky treatment of them."
