ALCOHOL BRIEFLY
VIEWED FROM A
MODERN STANDPOINT
(.Continued from yeateriiaJJ
By B. C. Keiiter, M. D.,
•SupeiIntendent Sanitarium for Mental;
and Nervous Diseases.
In a single reformatory school in
the city of Berlin hereditary taint due
to parental alcoholism is shown in
67 per cent of all pupils. Public at
tention is now being directed to the
"problem of the feeble-minded," and
those experts who have devoted most
attention to the subject regard alco
hol as certainly one of the most pro
lific causative factors in the deterior
ation of brain tissue, which lies at the
real root of the mental inability and
feeble-mindedness of an many human
beings of this the twentieth century
civilization. Of the 66,000 school chil
dren examined in New York city In
1901 by Dr. MacNlcholl, 58 per cent
were below the required standard ot
intelligence, 17 per cent being actual
dullards, bordering on imbecility. The
family histories of 3,711 of the chil
dren were traced through three gener
ations. This was done in great detail
with regard to the taking of alcohol.
Of the children of abstaining parents
and abstaining grandparents only 4
per cent were "dullards," where is ot
the children of abstaining parents, but
drinking grandparents, 78 per cent
were dullards or feeble-minded.
If one-half of the money expended
for the mental degenerates, idiots, im
beciles, epileptics, and paupers caused
by alcohol drinking were properly
spent toward the prevention of these
conditions, wc would not only save
millions of dollars, but In addition to
this we would soon have a healthlei
and more refined civilization.
Our friends of the "Fatherland," the
Germans, have made some recent pa
thological discoveries resulting from
the much beer drinking of that coun
try. It is known among the physi
cians connected with the large hospi
tals of Germany as “beer-drinkers'
disease," and is recognized by a spe
cial condition of unhealthy enlarge- |
ment of the heart, due to dilatation,
accompanied by some Increase of tis
sue and fat.
It is reliably reported that one in ]
every sixteen of the hospital patients .
in Munich die from this disease.
Since beer drinking has become so
popular in the United States during
the past quarter of a century, we may
anticipate about the same results.
In fact, when we consider the greater j
quantity of the stronger drinks to
which the American peoplo are ad- j
dieted we may expect a higher rate of 1
mortality among the beer-drlnklng
• classes of this country.
This disease manifests its worst j
symptoms In persons between the ages
of 40 and 60 years. It is not generally i
realized by the laity that such small :
amounts of alcohol taken In the form \
| of Inger beer and others soft drinks
is fraught with so much danger, but
| it is nevertheless true, as well ns ap
; palling to think of. At such an ago
.1 man should lie at his best, both
' mentally and physically, and with
I prospects of a good old age. Their
1 loss to the community in which they
! reside is incalculable when we consid
er the deplorable fact that many of our
most prominent citizens and leaders
of men are numbered among the beer
drinkers of our country.
In considering the matter of nation
al physical proficiency as well as na
tional pride, steps of a most radical,
character should be taken toward re
moving the cause of these abnormal
conditions.—Advt.

PARIS, Oct. 17.—A discovery of
vast importance to the millions of men
engaged in the great struggle
against the Germans is announced by
the Academy of Medicine, as a result
