Alcohol No Longer Needed

THE editor of the Boston Journal of Chemistry, J. R. Nichols, M. D., an eminent scientific authority, in a recent able article takes the advanced position that alcoholic liquors are no longer needed in medicine or the arts. He takes the ground "that if the natural vinous fermentative process should cease, and the art of distillation become a 'lost art,' not a life would be sacrificed in consequence, not a case of disease would be retarded in the process of cure, not a pain would be aggravated, and not one of the art processes suffer detriment."
