ALCOHOL AND RACE SUICIDE
Views Of Strong Drink
and Its Effects.

In an address at Philadelphia, Dr.
T. A. MacNicholl, surgeon at the Red
Cross hospital, New York. presented
this striking comparison In the study
of two separate groups of families:
Through long line of successive
generations | have made a study of
two separate groups of families. one
group. children of drinking parents:
one group of children of abstaining
parents.
'In ten families of drinking habits
there were SO children. Thirty died
In infancy, three of heart disease,
four were insane, seven were anaemic,
eight were tuberculous, one had dia.
betes, three had very poor teeth, three
had adenoids. Only four OF the mum.
Der were normal. OF the total, two
were excellent, six were fair, and sew.
en- were deficient in their studies.
in ten families of abstaining par
ents there were 20 children. Two died
in infancy, two were neurotic and
anaemic, one had rheumatism, one
was tuberculous. and ca we're normal.
In study, So were excellent, 10 we're
fair. only two were deficient.
"Of the children of total abstaining
families, 80 per cent were normal; OF
he total of children of drinking par.
ents. 93 per cent were abnormal
Eighty per cent of the children of
regular drinkers have convulsions
while teethlng. OF children dying
from such diseases as measles, whoop.
ing cough. scarlet fever. and other in.
fantile disorders, a large percentage
are children of drinking ancestry"
DR.. T. ]. Mays. specialist in con.
sumption, Philadelphia, in his address
before the semi-annual conference OF
the American Society for the Study OF
Alcohol and Other Drug Narcotics. de
clared that lnebriety was very closely
associated with consumption. The
| former destroyed the vitality of the
! body and permitted disease germs Il
| gather and grow In the lungs In
| ebriety and consumption are twin dis
| eases. the one following the other
| The disease germs of the latter would
not flourish in the lungs II the brair
and nervous system were strong
enough to throw them off. Alcoho
not only frequently causes tubercu
losis. but there are many cases where
the children of drinkers develop tn,
white plague. A consumptive patien
frequently presents himself, in whom
the most diligent search fails to re
veal the slightest trace of family con
sumption. The condition is frequen,
ly found in the young. especially Il
girls, who. after careful inquiry, ar
found to have a father or mother, o
sometimes both. who had been til
piers of alcohol
Children of alcohol parents ar
from 200 to 260 per cent more liabl
to consumption and from 800 to 60
per cent more prone to nervous di
eases than are children of abstemiou
parents.

DRINKING HABITS OF WOMEN
Perturbed Physical Conditions Given
as Main Causes-Its Results
Are Dreadful.

lnebriety from a fondness for alco-
hol for its own sake-vicious indul-
gence-is far less frequent in women
than In men, and 1t Is well that 1t is
so. Drunkenness is bad enough in a
man. but In a woman 1t is even more
pitiable, and, II It be possible. more
far-reaching and more dreadful In Its
results. With women It would. we
think, be safe to say that the origin
of the drink habit lies In perturbed
physical conditions-in fact, that 1t is
a disease, and not mere moral obll-
uuity, 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. peculiar shrink
men against the symptoms noted
among men at a like period. Two
causes may be given for the lapse of
women into inebriety First is the
nervous condition due TO 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
unmindful OF the fact that its taking
involves great risk of creating a
morbid condition that often finds ex-
preston in constant inebriety, In the
second case, the so-called solace. with
startling and sorrowful frequency.
ends in confirmed alcoholism. Health
