The Weakllng Graves Alcohol

The Weakling Graves Alcohol
 Formerly had c brief mono- graph on the treatment of habitual or periodic drinking, chronic alco- holism, dipsomania. have discon- tinued sending this to readers. From now on 1 shall have no advice for correspondents who ask about the treatment of the drink habit. But I am always glad to refer e physician, that Is, a doctor of medi. cine, no other, to the source of the Information necessary for success full treatment of alcoholism, provid- ed the physician asks me for the Information and incloses with his request stamped envelope bear- ing his address.
 In my experience it has always been difficult or impossible to tell dipsomaniac anything anyway. When he or she is under the influ- ence 1t is q waste of energy trying to reason with the patient; in be- tween bouts the dipsomaniac is al- ways abnormal and illogical, for instance in his or her certainty that he or she can "take it or leave it alone. Oh, yes, I am aware that in one instance out of 6 thousand perhaps the dipsomaniac still has or can, with the help of family, friends, doctor, spiritual adviser, psychiatrist, actually let it alone for an indefinit eperiod or even for the rest of life. But it Is futile to count on that miracle happening, no matter how earnest the dipso. maniac seems after sobering up from the latest bout.
 A correspondent 7s years old writes an Interesting retrospect of his lifetime battle with booze. He Is q periodic drinker, has gone sometimes for many months, once or twice aS long as a year without wanting or taking drink, then without knowing why he suddenly feels Q craving for liquor and goes on 6 spree, taking nthing else but booze for q few weeks, until pres- ently the hankering for 1t goes all at once and he sobers up and has no further desire for 1t until the next bout. This man says he has known q good many periodic drink CTS like himself, most of whom have passed on. He has known some whose parents never indulged at all, and he remarks that 1t can't be heredity for ne has known many teetotaliers one or both of the par- ents of whom were hard drinkers. Just what makes a person want to drink, then7 In what part of the body does the demand for alcohol arise7 Briefly I believe 1t is con- sciousness of his or her own in- feriority in health, as compared with the health of other individuals In his or her class or environment.
 The young person trying his or her first experiment with alcohol is obviously e moral weakling, other- wise he or she would have the courage to decline the invitation to take little drink. After the first experience with alcohol the only reason anybody ever wants any more is weakness, consciousness Of his or her fault, shortcon1ing, de- ficiency of health.
