Washington, May 14.—Beer waa
repudiated as a medicine by the
members of the medical profession
testifying In the hearing before the
House Judiciary Committee on Chair
mu Volstead’a bill to stop leaks in
the dry law. Not only did the doc-
tors assert that they never had pro
scribed beer, but both said that In
long practice neither ever bed seen
it used in that way.
. The physicians. Dr. Howard A.
Kelly, a surgeon of John Hopkins
Hospital and Dr. James M. H. Row-
Mad. professor at the University of
Maryland, dec'&red they knew of no
disease for which beer was a cura-
tive. Both expressed ‘‘humiliation
that the question had been "put up”
to the medical profession.
Representative Chudler (Rep.), of
New York, asked whether beer was
not responsible for the “magnifcent
stature” and long life of the Ger-
man people.
"I do not know anything concern
lng the longevity of the race,” Dr.
Rowland replied.
"I am an obstetrician and I work
at the front end of life. I do know
that beer or any fluid containing al
cohol is bad for babies.”
Dr. Kelly was asked whether beer
created an appetite for food.
“It would ruin my appetite.” he
said. “Of course, persons with ca-
pacious stomachs can take vast
quantties of beer with their food and
they seem to enjoy It, but I never
believed it caused a healthy appe-
tite for anybody."
