We have tried every imaginable remedy. In some instances there has been brief recovery, followed by a still worse relapse. Physicians who are familiar with alcoholism agree there is no such thing as making a normal drinker out of an alcoholic. Science may one day accomplish this, but it hasn’t done so yet.”

Science already has done this. It did it during the 90s. This statement is equivalent to saying that "science may yet reach the moon, but it hasn't done so yet." It's false, and perpetuating this is dishonesty.
