ALCOHOL BRIEFLY

MODERN STONDPH
(Continued from yesterday.)
By B. C. Keister, M. D.,
Supei lutendent Saul tail um for Mental
and Nervous Discuses. ,
As previously intimated, in consid
ering the enormous fact that we have
in the United States about 3,000,000
hard drinkers whose ages vary about
as much ns the ages of those
who are now enlisted in our
navy and standing army say
ing nothing of the millions of young
and middle-uge** moderate drink rs
• if this country who arc following in
the footsteps of their parents and
parents and grandparents, and who
will be followed by their children and
grandchildren, is it not about time for
ihe scholar and scientist to speak out
a warning note of no uncertaiin tone.
.Should we not, as a convention of
broad-minded citizens and conscitu
tors of the public health and public
weal, make a bold effort toward arous
ing the slumbering senses and open, the
eyes of our Federal Government to
the stern realities of the picture that
now confronts us as a nation.
Mrs. M. Amiable, of Brooklyn, N.
V., vouches for the record of one wo
man who, having been reared in tin
atmosphere of the saloon and the low
est form of immoralities died a tew
years ago at the ago of 51. Hct de
pendants were traced from 1827 to
1902, and numbered in all 800,700 ot
whom were criminals, 342 were con
lirmcd drunkards, 127 were immoral
women "prostitutes", and 37 were
murderers, and they were executed for
their crimoH. This woman, through
her progeny, cost, the United States
$3,000,000.
In conclusion, permit me to present
lor your serious consideration a few
side pictures, in the form of statistics,
that continue to “bob up” in the
background demanding attention.
First. We have now in the United
States 3,040,000 hard drinkers of alco
holic beverages, 125,000 of whom die
annually from the direct effects of
alcohol; over 5,000 of these take their
own lives.
Second. During the past four years
alcohol killed more people in the Un
ited States than were killed by bullets
' during the four years of our civil war.
In 1907 there were 10,782 suicides In the
t’nited States.
Third. The use of alcohol as a
I in vi rage costs the t’nited States an
i mi;.II,v $1,200,000,000.
I'ourih. Kighty-tlve per cent of the
'-i im -. V.i per eent of the pauperism,
I •'■ml r.n jier eent of the insanity of the
, t'nited States are caused by alcohol.
• inv-tlve per cent of the
j ..... uses of fashionable life are caused
by alcoholic beverages.
Sixth. Forty per cent of all diseases
I of the liver and kidneys are caused by
I alcoholic drinks.
I Seventh. Sixty per eent of the in
! mates of all reformatory schools are
the descendants of parents or grand
parents who were addicted to the uso
of alcohol.
Eighth. Sixty per cent of all the
imbeciles and epileptics of the United
States is caused by the hereditary ef
fects of alcohol.
Ninth. In 1905 the amount of alco
holic beverages consumed in the Un
ited States was 1,094,,392,765 gallons; i
11,494,191,325 gallons was lager beer.
Tenth. In the year 1890 the liquor
traffic paid into the United States
Treasury $157,485,982. It cost the peo
ple of the United States directly and
indirectly $1,884,027,982.
The late Mr. Gladstone made the
emphatic statement that alcohol was
a greater curse to any nation than war, I
famine and pestilence combined.
Notwithstanding this array of
j scientific facts and figures, our federal
i and state governments continue to is
sue license for the sale of a poisonous
beverage that is slowly destroying our
' nation.—Adv.
