The Supposed of Abstainers, and Non-Abstainers and Their, Lack of Scientific Value (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Supposed of Abstainers, and Non-Abstainers and Their, Lack of Scientific Value After a study of all available data on the subject, about two years ago I compiled and published under the title of The Mortality of Alcohol a tentative statistical approximation of the adult mortality of the United States in which alcohol possibly might figure as a causative or contributory factor. My findings were based upon the independent percentage estimates for each of io 6 causes of deaths kindly made for me by the Medical Directors of three well-known American insurance companies. The book by no means purported to have solved the complex problem with which it dealt but was offered merely as a possible starting-point for detailed scientific discussion of the actual relations of alcohol and adult mortality in this country. It was so accepted by the leading medical journals, and was generally received by the reviewers as a pioneer effort in its field. Since the publication of this preliminary study - or first aid to the injured, very much injured, facts in the case - I have endeavored to keep track of the contemporaneous literature of the subject, and to collect all serious contributions to the discussion of the relations of alcohol and human mortality.
