SKATER SOME OLD THEORIES

Attention is directed by the Medical
Record to the interesting and decided
~ surprising results OF an inyestga-
ton recently made In England with
the purpose OF determining the phys
zeal and mental effects on children OF
alcoholism in parents. II has hitherto
been held as indlsputably true and
"of common knowledge" that these eff
fects are many and serious-that the
drunkard's child has nothing like a
fair start In life. and is, II not sure.

ton by careful scientists of 1900 chill

OF alcoholism could be found-discred-
its this old assumption.
The parents OF half these children
we're sober people. and Of half either
the father or mother or both habitu-
ally drank TO excess. The conclu-
sions reached were: That the death
rate among the children OF alcoholic
parents was slightly greater than
among the others. the difference being
most notable when the mother was in
temperate: that the children OF the
sober were a little heavier; that the
health OF the two classes was about
the same: that parental alcoholism II

inexplicable reason. the eyesight OF
the alcoholics was somewhat the bet

Nothing was decided as 10 the exist

but Il was shown. the investigators
think. that what little superiority was
found in the children OF the sober was

ents from lntoxicants. but 20 the bet

dren naturally received. In other
words. in this case. as In 30 many. II

there is no more Of a prenatal doom

tigation was not broad enough 10 be

DRINKING HABITS OF WOMEN
Perturbed Physical Conditions Given

Are Dreadful.

lnebriety from a fondness for Rlco-
hol for its own sake-yicious indui-

than in men. and II Is well that II IL
so. Drunkenness il bad enough In a
man. but In a woman II is even more
pitiable. and. n II be possible. more
far-reaching and more dreadful In fits

think. be safe to say that the origin
Of the drink habit lies in perturbed
physical conditions-in fact, that Il IL
a disease. and not a mere moral obli-
guilty. as many would have us believe.
The consequences OF alcoholism In wo-
men are not so quickly evident as In
men. In the earlier stages OF in
ebriety in those cases IN which there
is power OF volition. a peculiar shrink
ing from publicity protects some wo.
men against the symptoms noted
among men at like period. Two
causes may be given for the lapse OF
women into inebriety. First Is the
nervous condition due 20 lack OF nu-
triton and the wear and worry OF do
nestle life and the demands OF So
ciety-an exhaustion for which relief
Is mistakenly sought In the transient
aid OF alcohol; secondly. the pain and
unrest incident TO disorders Of their
sex. for which solace is sought In the
anaesthetic and paralyzing effects OF
alcohol In the first place. the woman
who flies to drink must be unaware or
