Hardcover. Etat : Very good. Etat de la jaquette : Very good. First edition. First edition, first impression. 8vo. Original cloth. Dust-jacket. A study of the therapeutic use of alcohol, "with a chapter on the evolution of medical opinion", by Courtenay C. Weeks, M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P. Weeks was a surgeon and a director of the National Temperance League. He had already published "The Use of Alcohol in Hospital Practice" in the British Journal of Inebriety (1924), and he followed the present book with Alcohol and Human Life (1929). A recent historian of interwar drinking describes that book as an influential polemic against the "new moderationism" then gaining ground in medical opinion, and quotes Weeks's warning against "the ghastly evil of alcoholism the greatest single enemy Britain has to fear". Reviewers of the time were less persuaded: The Lancet advised restraint in view of his "enthusiastic conviction that alcohol is wholly evil". The book belongs to the long debate over the prescription of alcohol by doctors, which was still active in the 1920s. Published by H. K. Lewis, the London medical publishers, and in the original plain typographic jacket, priced 3s. 6d. Book.…

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. "Alcohol and Human Life" is a comprehensive examination of the physiological and sociological impacts of alcohol consumption on the individual and the broader community. Written by Dr. Courtenay C. Weeks with contributions from Sir Thomas Barlow, this work serves as a critical medical and scientific inquiry into the nature of alcohol and its role in human society during the early 20th century. The text provides a rigorous analysis of the effects of stimulants on the human body, exploring topics such as the nervous system, digestive health, and the psychological consequences of addiction.Beyond the biological perspective, "Alcohol and Human Life" delves into the social implications of alcohol use, reflecting the concerns of the temperance and public health movements of its era. It addresses the relationship between alcohol consumption and industrial efficiency, family life, and national well-being. By synthesizing clinical data with social observation, the authors provide an authoritative voice on one of the most pressing public health issues of the time.
