Original Toronto Star caption: Pub therapy for hospital patients is the idea behind the Boar's Head; an English-style pub for war-veteran patients located right in the Sunnybrook Medical Centre; off Bayview Ave. Barmaid is Sheila Pipher serving to Herb Trebell; left; and Alex Burns. The pub provides an outlet for patients to socialize and some studies suggest that a small amount of liquor or beer can be more effective than tranquilizers in the treatment of elderly patients.
