Criticises the attempt 'to put a legislative stop' to alcohol consumption 'except for medicinal purposes'. Describes some of the loopholes in such legislation and argues that an Act of Parliament prohibiting spirit drinking would have to specify the 'imaginary maladies' which are 'not within the exceptions allowed by the statute'. |
