To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Parkes is imperfectly quoted. He first asks the question : "If distinctly hurtful in large quantities, is it not so in these smaller amounts '! " He then says : ''As a scientific question, I do not see how an answer can be at present given." He then says : " Fail- ing, as it appears to me, in accurate information on this point, the usual arguments for and against the use of alco- hol cannot be held to settle the point,'" which he says are (a) {h) (c), etc. Under c he has the sentence quoted by ...Dr. Crosby, which even in this form, as not his own, he guards by adding: "It must be allowed, I tbink, there are some persons of this class who are benefited by alcohol in small quantities, and chiefly in the form of beer or light wine. Unless these persons wilfully deceive themselves, they feel better and are better with a little alcohol." Noie, also, that Dr. Parkes is e\idently one of those guilty of the moral outrage of indiscrimination. Had Dr. Parkes been read as to other utterances, and in his reply to Anstie as to food value, etc., he would never have been thus quoted.
