TYPES OF DRUNKARDs.
The smallest quantity OF alcoholic
drink, taken %habitually, will cause a
corresponding %inebriety. If a man
drinks a glass of beer three times daily
for three months, he will have q cor
responding inebriety. If he stops, he
will have a craving for his beer. He
has the disease of inebriety, which cor
responds to the amount of his indul.
gence. He will say that he can drink
beer or let it alone, just as he pleases.
Very likely he can let it alone, but he
seldom does, and if he does he sue
ceeds by overcoming the crave for the
drink effort of his will. The craving,
however, remains.
The deep drinker is another type.
This type did not begin by taking a
small drink three times a day, but he
began by a drunken debauch, followed
by remorse, reform and a period of 30.
briefly. In a few weeks or months he
INDUCED again in the same manner, and
now he repeats the ~debauch, repentance
and period of sobriety at regular inter
walls. This mar has a corresponding
inebriety. He has a crave for liquor
which comes on periodically. When
it comes, the inebriate will drop every
thing and drink. He will drink him.
self dead drunk in six hours and be
put to bed. The next morning he re-
sumes the agony and continues usu'
ally until his stomach rebels and re-
jects everything, and then he repents
and ceases to drink, and after a few
days of melancholy he gains an ap'
petite and enters upon another period
of sobriety, swearing he will never
drink again.
Babes are made inebriates in the
nursery and cradle by alcoholic drugs
and opiuLl preparations given them
for children's diseases. 1t is not un'
common to find babes a few months
old who are confirmed opium inebri'
ates and can endure a dose of cordial
or soothing syrup containing morphine
enough to narcotize a man. Children
treated for diphtheria with whisky OF
whose digestion and little troubles are
dosed in the same manner are inebri
ates.. The stamp Of alcohol is put
upon the little brain and remains
there. When the child grows large
enough, it some day finds liquor, AM
the consequence is a debauch and the
beginning of a career of inebriety.-
