description For the period covered by the annual report, the commission focused most of its efforts on education and outreach, in an effort to prevent the disease and encourage awareness and compassion from the general public: "The Commission is making every effort to remove the alcoholic from public scorn and derision, and to replace this attitude with understanding. Physicians and hospitals can work miracles with the alcoholic's physical problems in just one week. Vitamins, drugs, rest and good food will put a patient on his feet very rapidly, but that is a treatment of the hangover, not of Alcoholism. If there is no treatment provided for the emotional problems that prompted the drive toward alcohol, easing the pain of the hangover will have little or no effect on the disease." (The cover of the report reads, "Annual Report / State of Alabama / Commission on Education with Respect to Alcoholism / 1954-1955.")
