Physicians know. or ought to know, that
diseases are produced or aggravated by
the use of alcoholic beverages, and that
the records of police courts demonstrate
that the mass OF cr,rnnals arrested are

republic it was estimated by Thacher and
others that 1000 people died drunkards
every year. Now more than hundred
thousand graves are required annually to
hold the victims of alcoholic poisons. How

Alcohol and Iunacy,

The municipal authorities Of Glasgow
recently appointed commission to inquire
into the alarming increase of insanity
caused by alcoholism in Scotland. The re-
port of this committee brings to light some
striking statistics. In the case of the
Glasgow district asylums and the observa-
ton of wards of the poorhouse, of 565 ad-
missions during twelve months no fewer
than 259, er thirty-three per cent, were
directly traced to alcohol. In most Of these
cases the patients had been comparatively
well to do and prosperous, so that the
disease could not be ascribed to bad home
conditions or poverty. The reports OF the
Royal Edinburgh Asylum show the same
alarming growth of alcoholic insanity
Statistics for the whole of Scotland during
1902 showed 1858 insane persons, an in
crease of $40 over the preceding year. The
number of patients discharged as recoy.
cred during the year was 1920. In Argyll,
where the highest proportion of lunacy
prevails, there are S42 lunatics per loo, 600
of the population.

They are all very fond Of fnery, and

tion when an Armenian girl is getting
her wedding fnery together. and often
appear at the last moment to snatch
her wedding garments, fashioned with
such loving care; then off to the hills
with their ill-gotten booty. If the
Armenians ever dare to make a COM
