Alcohol Sickness



The political cartoon above, depicts a sick man representing the American people, strapped down on a table while being injected with "prohibition" by a doctor representing the Government. The cartoon is portraying Americans as being sick from alcohol abuse, but the government is remedying the problem by "injecting" the law of prohibition into the public. At the bottom it reads, "Yes, it's a noble experiment." Therefore, if alcohol is removed from society, then Americans will get better and stronger.
