Excerpt from On the Uses of Wines in Health and Disease: Reprinted From the Practitioner
In commencing a series of papers on the uses of Wines in health and in disease, we must briefly define the intended scope of our inquiry, in order to avoid misunderstandings. In the first place, it is no part of our object to discuss the question of the lawfulness or the advisability of using alcoholic liquors in general, either as food or as medicine; we shall take it as established, both by wide-spread custom and by the most recent physiological research, that alcohol as such, has its legitimate place in the sustentation both of the healthy and of the diseased organism. Nor shall we occupy space with the re-assertion of the doctrine, of the absolutely different effects respectively produced by the moderate and by the excessive use of this class of drinks.
