HORRORS OF ABsINTHE DRINKING

The dreadful experiences that await
the dTinker of absintEe are analysed
ness by DR.. Emma Z. Walker in the
New York Medical Record.
In France absinthe is known as the
scOuTge.' the plague, the enemy, Q"
and the queen OF pOisOnS-" Acsinthe
IS liquor Of an emerald green color.
consisting of from A. to Sc per cent of
alcohol, highly favored with the arc
mates, wormwoOd, anise, fenneI, cori-
ander, calamus aromaticus. hysSop and
marJoram. The special variety of this
drink depends upon the proportions and
kinds of these flavors composing it.
It's quality will also depend upon the
quality Of its constituents. Since any
unpleasant taste may be easily con
cealed by the strong aromatic used
the alcohol employed in this liquor is
frequently very impure.
Absinthe heads the. list of toxic es-
senCeS- The ordinary absinthe contains
far larger percentage OF alcohol than
does whisky, Consequently its toxic ef-
fects are far greater than are those of
whisky. for to the increased amount
of alcohol there is added the deadly

Absinthe is chiefly used in France.
and especially in Pars. II was intro
duCed there after the Algerian war of
lS4-t by the soldiers, who, on their
campaign. had been advised TO mix alb
slnthe with their wine as a febrifuge.
The use Of absinthe rapidly increased
in France. with such disastrous results
that L has been described bv FTench
physicians AS constituting graver
danger 70 the public than alcohol itself.
The habit of absinthe drinking is a
most insidiOus one, and when 1t is once
INDUCED il seems almost impossibIe No
break. Thirst is more exactine than
hunger. It is often a purely imaginary
sensation Arrived at a morbid de-
gree, the passion for drink is not only
vice which blights equally the rea-
son, morality and Justice. but is a Veri-
