Drink, he went on. had a pernicious
effect on mentally unstable people,

them anti-social and insane. He did
not find that the children of drunkards
were feeble minded, but il the in
iuence existed for two or three gen.
erations disease manifested itself
DR.. Chambers. Joint editor OF the
Journal OF Mental Science, said that
the remedy lay not in making insan-
ity a ground for divorce. but in pre-
venting the marriage Of the unfit.
The knowledge that insanity was a
ground for divorce would have a pre-
judicial effect on the mental health Of
some people, and would distress the
minds and retards the recoyeries of
many Of the insane who we're under
care
The last witness of the day was DR..
G. H. Savage. the famous mental ex-
pert, who has forty years experience
in the treatment Of the insane He
had written 70 medical officers Of
asylums asking whether insanity was
a iustifable ground for divorce. re-
ceiving eighty-two replies. These
were: Yes. 81; no. %; Indifferent, O.
