Abstract

Worse that Alcohol

This article critically appraises two books. They are "Drink," by Vance Thompson and "The Triangle of Health," by Alma C. Arnold. What alcohol does to a man, paralyzing his faculties, from the highest down; how it shortens his life by a decade or more, diminishes his chances of employment, reduces his efficiency, leads to poverty and squalor-all this is set forth eloquently and with direct testimony from insurance and sanitary documents. Arnold is an exponent of the art of chiropractic, which seeks to cure various diseases, and to ward off old age, by treatment of the spine. She has made improvements in that art which won the approval of its originator. Osteopaths also specialize in spinal manipulation but, in her opinion, the worst chiropractor is better than the best osteopath.
