which appetite they cannot control or
satisfy. This morbid appetite frequently
has an inherited predisposttion as a con-
stitutional cause. and with sucn the
hereditary vice is easily aroused to actiV-
ity and becomes an irresistible controlling
influence.
1t is not civilized mans natural dis
position to relinquish all that serves 70
desire for drink. Such. however. is the
case with dipsomaniacs. The periodlcai
drunkard presents no such positive pain

The system has in such cases from
