Concerning your question with regard to the use of alcohol for rubbing: the believers can make any use of alcohol for any such treatments, provided they do not drink it, unless, of course, they are compelled to do so, under the advice of a competent and conscientious physician, who may have to prescribe it for the cure of some special ailment. (From a letter dated 25 July 1938 to an individual beiever; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. II, Prohibition on Drinking Alcohol)
