>I am looking for any secondary literture on the Committee of Fifty, the

>physiologists, etc. who studied the drink problem between 1893 and 1903. I
>was sure that at least one person had written an article about this group,
>but I can't find the reference to this (imagined?) piece. I am familiar

>COF, but would like to know if there's any secondary material out there.
>Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.
