who were really suffering from a form
Of insanity or some neurotic disturb
ance. and when the attacks subsided
the craving for alcohol disappeared.
Such people sometimes become in
toxicated from very innocent articles
of food. One of my patients, cul-
tured young woman had attacks during
which she consumed pounds of roast
beef and acted like a person under the
influence of alcohol.
A Secondary Cause
The amount of crime and insanity
ascribed to the use of alcohol is grossly
exaggerated. Examination usually
shows that the crimes have been com
mltted by mental detectives. epileptics
and lunatics in whom the excessive use
OF alcohol was OF secondary impor-
tance.
| have also observed the behavior of
some alcoholics who were cured by
others and by myself. BY cured mean
