Three articles by Charles B. Towns, founder of Towns Hospital where Bill Wilson had what he would later refer to as his Hot Flash. All are from a bound volume of a 1912 national magazine. The first article Help for the Hard Drinker is pictured. It is 7 pages long. The second article The Peril of the Drug Habit is 8 pages. The third article The Drug-Taker and the Physician is 7 pages. The articles are in great shape, with all pages intact. These articles are great reading for anyone interested in the history of addiction treatment.
