C. tf. \ D IT MEDICINES for the fallacy that beef, wine, and and iron is efficient is that the alcohoi it contains imparts a feeling of stimulation and quickens the heart action, a temporary condition lasting as Ion# as the alcohol affects the senses. That is why one must use such preparations continuously, ?u that the artificial stimUlatipn may be kept up. The result often brings pn W~ a case of alcoholism. It would be more beneficial in such cases to use a natural iron preparation free from the dangers of al- ^ cohol or other habit-forming drugs.
