The alarm expressed by the New
York Medical Journal that the effects
OF alcohol should be the subject of ex-
travagant overstatement has a familiar.
far off sound OF a century ago. An in
stance is given, as an example, which
appeared in the Journal of Inebriety,
concerning the degeneracy of the fam
lily of moderate drinkers. Every city
and almost every town in the country
contains examples far more significant
than this one. in which the effects Of
alcohol are clearly traceable in the de-
fects of the children. 1t is practically
impossible TO overstate the damage and
injurious influence of alcohol, and the
old caution Of a century ago is lost in
the light Of recent scientific investiga-
tions. The fear now is OF undertaking
and minimizing the dangers from al
cohol by clinging to the worn-out de-
lusions OF alcohol as tonic and food.
