Medical Journal Tells of Survey on Alcoholic Care

A recent issue of the publication of the Medical Society of the County of New York deals with a survey on the care and treatment of alcoholics in the New York area, conducted by the New York Academy of Medicine's committee on public health relations, with Dr. Hubert S. Howe as chairman, and Dr. E. H. L. Corwin as secretary of the subcommittee in charge. The magazine states the survey is in line with energetic movements in Maine, New Jersey, Washington, D. C., Boston and elsewhere. Commenting on this wide interest and activity, the magazine reports: "So great has been the recent indication of cooperation between existing groups that the movement to improve treatment and facilities is taking on the semblance of a national campaign." Questionnaires have been sent to every physician in New York City and to every hospital and sanitarium. The subcommittee hopes to make a report late in the fall.
