Among the customary arrangements for the annual meetings of the British Medical Association, a very large and influential body of physicians, a dinner fills an important place in the program. To many of these doctors a dinner without wine would be like the omission of Hamlet from the play; others are disposed to consume a smaller quantity of wine than formerly, and some have become total abstainers. Hitherto the price of the dinner ticket has included the wine and liquor bills. This year it was proposed that hereafter the price of the annual dinner ticket should not include the wine charges. After a prolonged discussion, it was resolved, on motion of Dr. Norman Kerr, “that, in the opinion of this meeting, the price of the dinner ticket should not include a charge for wine, and the committee and council are requested to arrange for this in the future.” Those who choose to take wine hereafter will do it on their own responsibility and at their own cost. This is another gratifying sign of progress in the sphere of medical temperance opinion in Great Britain of which American physicians would do well to take note.
