Insanity is another morbid condition
of the brain caused by chronic alcoholic
indulgence. The statistics of all in
sane asylums bear evidence of this fact.
In the list of causes of this most terrible
OF calamities, intemperance occupies
prominent place; but those who have
given most attention to the subject ex-
press the opinion that this disease is
more likely to attack the offspring of
drunkards than the drunkards them
selves. These latter cases are not
usually charged. in the statistics, to in
temperance. though they are the re-
mole consequences of it.
The first attack Of insanity in the
drunkard is usually recovered from,
under asylum treatment and where
further INDULGENCE is nr,vontrd. Inf tho
