Alcoholism is chronic poisoning resulting from the

that it gives energy for work, or that it

in truth, alcohol is useful nobody; it is harm
full to ALL
The habit of drinking spirits leads quickly to alco-
holism but the so-caed hygienic drinks also contain
alcohol; the only difference is of quantity; the
who daily drinks mmoderate quantity of wine,
of cider beer, becomes surely alcoholic the
who drinks brandy.
The drinks called "aperitives" (absinthe, vermouth,
amers), the aromatic liquors ("vulneraire eau de
lsse or de mentheO the most pernicious because
they contan-in addition to alcohol-essences which
themselves also violent poisons.
The habit of drinking leads neglect of family,
to orgetfuness of all social duties, to distaste for
work. to want theft and crime 1t leads, at the very
