He warned that people allergic to alcohol could become dependent on it after taking their first drinks of liquor.

Dr. Silkworth said that people who were not allergic to alcohol, but who continually drank heavily, were problem not alcoholics. His theory is still hotly debated by doctors and scientists. Just as in 1895, today's alcoholics who wish to be cured mist completely stop drinking. The only cure is total abstinence.

It is not just a case of "will-power," according to doctors. The addict cannot control his drinking, so to achieve abstinence he must undergo physical and mental treatment. The physical treatments are a good diet and medical care. The mental treatments take different forms psychiatric counseling, institutional confinement, alcoholic clinics, and group therapy. The largest and most successful organization which has helped alcoholics is Alcoholics Anonymous.

Founded in 1934 by two recovered alcoholics the organization now has more than 500,000 members in 92 countries. The organization is described by its members as "a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other so they may solve their common problem and help others." The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no membership dues. Each local chapter is self- supporting through contributions from its members. The organization is not allied with any sect, denomination, political group or institution.

The Alcoholics Anonymous sobriety program requires: 1. Commitment a person must want to stop 2. Humility 'he must recognize his problem is too much to' handle alone. 3. Constant he must be willing to help other alcoholics at all times.

"Our primary purpose is to stay sober ad help other al- holics achieve sobriety," the creed of Alcoholics Anonymous proclaims. It is a full-time job.
