ALCOHOLICS
ANONYMOUS: By various writers. Cloth price $3.50. Works Publishing
Co., 17 William St., Newark, N.J.
Over
one hundred men and women who have recovered from a seemingly
hopeless state of mind and body have contributed to this book. The
stories of these individuals in their struggles physically and
mentally to overcome alcoholic addiction are gripping. A physician
writes in the introduction that the action of alcohol in chronic
alcoholism is a manifestation of allergy.
Therefore,
hospitalization and proper treatment is often necessary to free the
patient from his craving for liquor. When the mind is clear he is a
candidate for psychological measures. This book deals principally
with such measures as exemplified in the stories of alcoholics.
