DOCTOR TRACES
ALCOHOLISM
AS HERITAGE

You may think you drink to
drown your sorrows, or to cele'
brate something-but the chances
are you drink because your rela-
tiveS drink.
Such was the finding Of DR..
James H. Hall, of the Blooming
dale Hospital, White Plains, N. Y,
as revealed in a paper read today
before the meeting of the Ameri-
can Psychiatric Association here.
While DR.. Hall would not go so
far as definitely to ascribe alco,
holiSm to heredity, he presented
facts to show what he regarded as
q close relationship.
Now a Symptom
Alcoholism, he said. is a Symp-
tom and not disease, indicating
an underlying conflict. The paper
he read was based on the study OF
100 male alcoholics, and threw
new light on the subject OF alco-
holiSm and heredlty.
In the 100 cases studied, lnclud-
ing 80 college graduates and 80
professional men, lawyers, physl-
clans. writer's and executives, 1t
was shown that in II cases there
we're one or more relatives in the
preceding generations who were
excessive drinkers.
Fathers of 81 of the cases were
alcoholics, while in 81 cases the
mothers had exaggerated emo
tional attitudes, resulting in pam
pering and spelling their sons
with the resultant effect later IN
life. Al :
Depression Cure
A new cure for acute depression
was explained to the doctors by
DR.. Leslie R. Angus of the neuro-
psychiatrict institute of Hartford,
Conn.
Through the use of new drug,
hematoporphyrin, an extract from
the red blood cells of horses, ne
has secured complete or partial
cure in so per cent of all cases he
has treated, he revealed.
The theory of the use OF this
drug. he explained, is that it
makes the system more sensitive
to light rays, thus causing in
creased activity of the nervous
system.
While the use of the drug is too
recent to determine its lasting ef-
feet, he reported that in a mum
Der of instances patients have
continued we'll several months
after it was administered.
Emotional Growth
The American people are be-
coming more emotional, due to
the high speed of modern life, an
other doctor told the assembled
scientists.
DR.. Donald Gregg, Of Wellesley
Mass. declared that his study has
shown that emotion can be deadly
Through inventions which have
speeded up the mode of life, he
holds, the American people have
been thrown into stage of inse
curity, all tending to build up high
emotions, and until something is
found to take the place of dis
carded faith and beliefs this
growth of emotionalism will con
tinue.
