Summary: "Alcohol: A Dangerous and Unnecessary Medicine, How and Why" by Martha Meir Allen is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work explores the detrimental effects of alcohol when used as medicine, drawing on historical inquiries, scientific studies, and testimonials from prominent physicians who oppose its medicinal use. Allen acts as a compiled voice for medical professionals advocating for non-alcoholic treatment methods, contributing to a growing movement against the medical prescription of alcohol. The beginning of the work outlines Allen’s motivations and foundational thoughts regarding the medical use of alcohol. She acknowledges the extensive reliance on alcohol in medical practice historically, characterized by an uncritical acceptance of its alleged healing properties. However, she highlights a shift in understanding based on rigorous scientific research and the testimonies of notable medical figures who have found that alcohol's effects are more harmful than beneficial. Through discussions of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union's efforts and various medical studies, the opening portion sets the tone for a thorough examination of alcohol as a deadly poison rather than a cure. Allen seeks to clarify misconceptions surrounding alcohol's role in medicine, advocating for alternative treatments that demonstrate improved outcomes without the risks associated with alcohol.
