than We have been taught 20 believe. Up to 4

use for cavalry, for that they could not hope to
get within striking distance. We ali remember

A certain literary man of my acquaintance

him. If ] should tell you his name you would
recognize it as that of one who has interested,
instructed and amused two generations of read

This man has a craving for stimuants that has
increased of late-in fact, he is a chronic inc
briate. He is, however, DESTROYS of being cured
of his affection.

treated at much earlier stages of their exist
ence. In about one-third of the eases the dis
ease is hereditary; at least, the fathers of the
patients were inebriates. In such cases the
chances of cure are very small.
As the average drunkard is as dangerous TO
society and as likely to commit crime as the
average lunatic, why should not more inebriate
ssylums be built, either by local governments
or by charitable and benevolent individuals2
