the chronic inebriate,' says DR. A. M.

one thing to do, and that Is not to

money to build hospital to cure
them. I have studied the question in
Europe and elsewhere. and 1t seems
the only way to treat the questions Is
this: To simply prohibit it. absolutely

the toxin which causes the, degeneracy
