Abstract

WESTERN FEVER HOSPITAL,
FULHAM.

YEAR. ALCOHOL USED. DEATH RATE Per Cent.
1925 2,600 ozs. 8.8
1926 991 " 4.4
1927 25 " 3.1
1928 1 " 2.7

OVER 3,000 PATIENTS ANNUALLY.

Bound up his wounds,
pouring in oil and wine,
and set him on his own
beast,"
Luke, 10.34.

This home-made slide combines the Biblical story of the Good Samaritan with statistics showing the reduced medical use of alcohol – implying that alcohol does not have to be used to relieve suffering.
