I ,v ALCOH' Its Causation . By Sarnutl McCouib, D. 1). Editor's Note.?Today tbere is Lope lor the diuukaru. A direct way bats been lound to revive bis will powei, reestablish ms sellrespect and bis neaitb, ana itslore iiini to the tasks ol daily me. Here is a statement ol lLie luteal rinding* ol selence as to lUe deulerlous eliects ol aicoboi on tbe system, tcgetner Willi uu ?\pu?itloii ul llie lueUiods used by tbe Emmanuel Cbuicb movement oi Boston lu ine lieatmeni oi lia alcoliollc patients. Its importance cannot L>e overestimated. Tbe auttior, Dr. Samuel -MtC'omO, a co-Jouuder Willi Dr. Worcester ot iui& ultramodern applicutiou oi science and religion to tbe problem uliiuiuau ins, is u Well Kuowu Boston clergyman, wbose ic&eaicbe.i i?no ibis HJd kiudreu subjects uave given mm autboilty and recognition among tbe eminent psycbolog'.sis ol tbe day. About a year ago, tbere shambled Into mj study a paibellc dgure. l'bysicaiiy, be wan a wreck, wild an tbe signs ol degtneraiiou written large upon him?putty e>e?ids,treiutiling bauds, iwilcuiiig muscles, ibe w bole man nerveiess, lnetlecllve, itroKeti. Gradually I drew irotu biiu bis tragic story. Eoi twenty years be bad oeeu a slave, bound baud and loot in tbe grasp ot an luvlncioie vice. Born mio a bigbiy rtspecleu and reluMnnw imiiliv. be ussumed great business v responsibilities when a very young mau. When lagged out with a heavy mornings work, it was til* custom to UnuK a cockvHil that be might have strength to noid up lor the rest ol the day. Xtie nablt gre w uutil lie became a confirmed drunaard. Tbe lnevitaole consequences followed. His powers as a business mau were uudei mined, disgrace and humiliation overtook his larnlly, be hlmseu was lucarcerated lor a time in au inebriates' borne, only, however, to come out witb tbe patuoxogicai craving sun migntler wntim nim than before. Acaiu una again during tbe past twenty years tie tmu uiaae yiolem eilorts to break his cuaius, ana occasionally it bad looked as it tie nau won deliverance; bui again anu again bis Hopes were deceived, ana as a. last icsoti be bad been urged lo try wbat tbe Emmanuel clinic could do lor him. He was ou tils last legs, physically and morally. He said to uie: "You need not ten me toftbsiain. Ji bave uu power to Keep Irom alcohol. Aiy wm is gone. 11 you could putabew will wnblu me, there might be some chancr; but as it is, 1 nave neither hope nor laitb. 1 don't know wby 1 nave come nere." This man has not toucbed a drop of alcohol since that first visit. He is back in business, able with ease to do elgiu or nine hours' work a da}; an bonoraole citizen, a loved lather and husband. Everybody who Kuows him looks on bim with wonder. it ie tbe problem preseuteu by tbe fall and rise of this man that is to lorm the subject oi our discussion. The chemical substance which we call alcohol and which is a liquid obtained by the fermentation of grape suga: louud in various ??* ? ?ri ik(>Avprv Ktick an lax piUUUtK, IS llunwm u,?w.vv. as history goes, we Qua men seeking oui agencies which lend to iDcreu.se u sense oi oiganlc well-being, to lliL them above tbe acnes ana pains 10 whicn all flesn is neir. Alcohol was Known to me ancient Egyptian, Hindoo ana Babylonian, Inaetd, su widtspread has been lis use tbat a recent writer calls tbe desire lor alcohol an laboru natural Instinct, like love or fear. Hence alcoholism, tbat is, tbe stale of poisloning to tbe nervous system wblcb results Iroin tbe use of alcoboi, 1b no modera but a very ancient evil. .Nevertheless, tbe evil today Is greater lhau It bat> ever been, because the worst eriects oi alconoi are wrought on the nervous s.> steui, and, as tbe complexity ol llle grows ana me strain upon the nervous system becomes greater, any Influence that diminishes me resistive power oi this system has specially grave relations to the welfare olibe individual and ol society. Hence tbe question has recently been ralsea?Is alcohol a fooU or a poison? FOOD OK POISON? On this point, the physiological cbemi6ts are divided Into two schools?tbe one school Insisting on the lact that, when not taken to excess, alcohol is a food; tbe other school atthm thnnoh aioohol Is a food because oi UU5 1U??, It supplies beat aDd energy to the body. It it> also, In whatever measure it may be taken, always a poison. There two views do not contradict each other. They merely ucceui opposite aspects of the activity ol alcohol. In the light of our present knowledge, it would ?eem that we are sale In asserting that alcohol In very small quantlte6, say a glass or two of wine, if taken only at Intervals ol several days, is a poison which does, in (be vast majority of cases, no treat harm. On the other hand, it has been proved that tbe smallest dose of alcobol, if taken regularly over a long period, has bad effects. Two great German investigators, Kraepelln and Kurz, published, in 11)00, the results of a series of carelul experiments in Illustration of the persisting influence of siiebt chronic alcoholic intoxication. The dally dose of aJcohol decided on was eight grams (equivalent to two liters of beer,) and this was taken before going to bed. Ihe subjects of the experiment were two medical mtn, one of whom had been a teetotaler for years, while the other seldom took alcobol. The tests were tbe learning ol figures, tbe adding up o! sums, etc. The influence of these moderate doses ol alcohol was lound to be decidedly unfavorable. Mental aptitude slowly and then, alter some days, more markedly decreased, the loss being In one case equal to twenti-tive per cent of the normal ability. Moreover, in one case at least, the unfavorable influence did not cease with the discontinuance of the alcohol. It was proved that even a very moderate dose of alcohol exerts Its effects lor more tban twenty-iour nours. EveD these pby?lologlsts who maintain that alcobol ban food qualities, are agreed Ibal It is a very expensive Joed, and that ibe same quantity of nutrition car/ be obtained In much safer and less costly ways. But, Indeed, tbe question Is largely academic, for men do not take alcobol lor tbe sake of its power to build up tissue, but for tbe sake of its effects on tbe emotional tone of tbe mind. Alcoholic drinks are seldom taken for their taste alone. Alcobol Is at once a kind of pseudo-stlmulani aud a depressant. Hence some men, when in a merrymood, drink in order to check their shynes* and otber worries and thus raise tbelr sense of happiness to a blgher pitcb; but the m?jorlty drink because of tbe narcotizing imluenoes of tbe drug. Tbe troubled business man, the woman left alone to face the petty details of domestic drudgery, tbe overdriven professional man, the individual on wbom some terrible calamity has lallen and who can see no way of escape from ruin?all these betake themeelves to drink in order to drown their sorrows, to lose tbelr personality for a brief period in oblivion. Alcobol Is taken at first as a means of rtlief. Tbe reavon why this happens is that, In common with otber agencies, such as morphia, cocaine, and other kindred drugs. It can banish fear, worry, care; it can create a world peopled with the illusions of happiness. But at what a dread penalty! For alcobol awakens a morbid appetite, a pathological deslie. After a time this desire becomes dominant, the force# of the will go down before it, and the drinker Is then the victim ol a disease. WHY SCIENCE CONDEMNS ALCOHOI.. From all Bides, a chorus of scientific voices Joins In condemning the use of alcohol beyond those minimal doses which are theoretically allowable but to which lew peopie have the power so ltnilt themselves, and oeyond Its therapeutic employment In certain diseases. The bacteriologist assures us that alcohol paralyzes the protecting powers ol the blood, which act as a sort ot sanitary guard, removing dead matter and destroying the microorganisms that produce disease. The pathologist, or student of the morbid states of the body, proves that it Is a great factor In the degeneration ol muscles, nerves, and other cells; that It interferes with imtnu nlty against specific iulectious diseases; that it predisposes to the production of both acute and chronic pulmonary tuberculosis and other diseases. The neurologist warns against It on the ground that it poisons the brain and the nervous system, and, when long coniluued, leads to paralysis, neuritis, and other disturbances. The physiologist has proved that all skillful and accurate motions of the hands or of other highly trained muscles become awkward and unreliable and slow alter even small doses of alcohol. The psychiatrist charges alcohol with being directly responsible for about twenty per cent ot Insanity in men, and, directly or Indirectly, a factor in producing about loi;ty per cent of all Insanities; that it creates distinct types of meutal disease peculiar to Itself, such as alcoholic paranoia, alcoholic epilepsy, alcoholic hallucinatory Insanity. A CRIME PRODUCER. 4 The embryologlst asserts that alcobol poisons the reproductive glands aud lujures the embryo, thus tainting wltn mental dietui-bance germs that were previously healtny, and producing mentally and physically crippled descendants in spite ol good ancestors. The criminologist adds his somber judgment tiiat alcohol is responsible for about sixty per cent of crimes of violence, fifty per cent ot crimes ot lust, and that the suicide rate Increases In proportion to the Increase iu its cnn knmnllon. It is clear, theD, that alcoho.lsm presents a problem which Is too complex for auy one mode of treatment. It demands the united resources of the physician, the. phycbologlM, the clergyman, the teacher, the legislator, and the sanitary reiormer. .Let us here distinguish between alcoholism, chronic alcoholism, and dipsomania. Acute alcoholism Is simply drunkenness, a temporary poisoning oi the brain. Chronic alcoholism is continuous poisoning of tbe brain, and is contracted by the m?u who constantly drinks or who from time to time gives way to excess for the sake oi its pleasurable effects. Dipsomania, which is so ol'f n confounded with chronic alcoholism, is, ai-J cording to the best students of the subject, to J be distinguished from i.. Many experts believe that dlp6omanialsc*ie of the physical I OLISM. and Its Arrest. equivalents o! epilepsy. As It has been well put,"'i'he drunkard is mad because he drinks* trie ilipsnmuuiac drinks because be is mad." Krafft-Kbing says: "The dipsouin niac differs lrotn the habitual or ordinary drinker and the chronic drunkard in tue strictly episodic I character of his mania to drink." The dipsomaniac Is the victim of a periodic mental disturbance, which starts with a profound physical and moral depression, nod he Is i hen lorced tJ take alcohol in order 10 rid himself of his intolerable unrest. He often resists the inclination with ail his power and muy even have no love of drink itself, but after a learlul struggle he Is compel.ed to give In, and then he may drink lor days or even weeks. .Suddenly the attack ends, tue psychic storm blows itself out, the patient ceases to have any desire for spirits. Months may pass before a fresh attack comes on. Dipsomania, up to the present time, has not been cured. Confinement in a home tor nervous Invalids, combined with medical treatment,is the on y possible alievation. Happily, however, genulue dipsomania, as con-pared with chronic alcoholism, is infrequent, and ll is with chronic aicoholism that we are here concerned. One of the most important steps forward that has been taken in ihe comprehension ot this evil is the realization that alcoholism U more a disease than a vice, though this fact was pointed out so long ago as tne end of the eighteenth century by ihe famous Dr. Benjamin Hush, who antedated many of our latest discoveries in psychotnerapy. Tne symptoms of the disorder are too well known to need detailed exposition. Physically, we have marked tremor in the tongue, lips, face, and hands, a tremor which In advanced, chronic alcoholism deepens into paralysis in various parts of the body. Then, too, the chronic drinker sutlers from headache, stupidity, broken sleep, and miserable dreams. In the mental and moral realm, we note the dulling of the moral sense, growing indifference to the shame and misery of relatives and to the contempt of neighbors. A WILL WEAKENER. Above all, there Is manifested very early a .?iii tcr\nult Inn I prolounu weaKneso ui mu.au iuu.o^d...? I 10 discharge Uie plainest duties, and an Incapacity to carry out frequent, resolves to give up drink. Tue chronic alcoholism often Knows the inevitable ruin to which his vice is hurrying him, and yet at the same lime is conscious of a weakness of will and a moral apathy that make it impossible lor him to abstain. With weakness of will goes a dulling of the Intellectual powers. Memory becomes less retentive, thought is retarded, aod the power of atteution is more and more weakened. In the latter stages, various delusions may seize the brain. So much for the alcoholic himself. But what are we to say of the moral and physical disturbances In the home? His presence there makes a worthy development oi family life Impossible. Anxiety, a sense of humiliation, a lack of the consclousnsss of selfrespect, a foreboding of the future?such are thoVlements of the psychological atmosphere of ihe drunkard's noine. Directly or indirectly, alcoholism Is the cause of an Incalculable mass of suffering, physical, meutal, and moral. In saving the alcoholic, then, we are saving not only nimself but those who are dependent on him. WHO SHOULD NOT DRINK. What, then, are the main points In the treatment of.tnis disorder? If we were discussing the drink problem us a wnole, it would be necessary to discuss fully the best means for the prevention of alcobotism. To save the chronic drunkard Is a hard and sometimes an Impossible task. It demands patience, perseverance, skill, physical, psychological, and moral resources,which are not always available. Therefore, to prevent the disorder is, as modern science teach es, the oniy enecuve way 10 tragic wim ?, kuci ibis prevention cells for the utmosi efforts of tbe hygienic, ibe nodal, and tbe legislative reformer, an well as an educational al propaganda In ail our schools. But tbese considerations do not fall wltbin tbe scope ol my present purpose. It will be enough to point out in tbis connection that there are certain classes to whom alcohol ought to be a forbidden thing- All young and growing people?Dr. Clouston, the Scottish alienist, condemns alcohol as bad for tbe growing brain uml attended by many future rlskt; all peisons wltb a predisposition to mental and nervous disease; all persons who occupy responsible positions, or In whose bands are tbe ilfe.'saiety, and happiness of others; all persons who are engaged in very delicate worK, in which memory, attention, and reasoning power are strained; all women who are about to bccome mothers. A moderate and sound Jcdgment on this matter Is that recently oflertd by Dr. C. W. Saleeby: "There are those who run no risk, because the drug has no action upon them at all. [This Is open to doubt.] There are those whom it violently upsets and who are thus protected. There ure those whe like It In some small quantity and who will never exceed this, parullel instances being (o^nd in the case of tea, coffee, and tobacco. There are those who are predestined to fall. These last are probably more numerous than ever belore; tbey Include many of tbe most valuable members ot tbe community, the most original, versatile, individualized, inventive, creative?people who have points of view parents ol ideas, potential poets, musicians, enthusiasts, seers?the salt of the earth, the makers of progress, tbe neurotic peop'e, who do tbe pioneer work of tbe world. Perhaps the chief indictment ngalnst alcohol, from the point ol view of human history in genal, is Its relation to such people." Some men can be temporate in the use of alcohol; otbers must be total abstainers. I now pass on to speak of tbe treatment of alcoholism. 01 this disease, as of all otbers, we must say that it is neither wholly physlnor whoilv mental, but in part both. There/ore a sound treatment of alcoholism id list include physical ae well as psychical remedies. Be/ore we undertake treatment we must be satisfied: First, that the patient is really desirous ol being cured. No good results can be expected In the case of a 6uf ferer who has simply been cajoled or coerced Into trying the treatment. Secondly, that the sufferer consents to remain under^our supervision for at least two months and as much longer as may be deemed necessary. Thirdly, that he is willing to submit himself In all respects to the Instructions given him. NEEDED:?IRON AND SYMPATHY. Physical. Medical experts recommend electricity to stimulate the nerves, baths to stimulate the system and facilitate the elimination of the poison from it. Pnyslc*l exercises, too, are valuable, such as golf, waking, gymnastics of various kinds. Above all, the patient should be taught to avoid fatigue, for latlgue Induces the desire tor drink. Then, too, in order to heighten the tonicity of the nervous system, toojes, such as Iron and strychnine, may be necessary. Jn general, a regular life lu obedience, to physiological ami hygienic law is a necessity. In various asylums throughout the country, such as that at Foxboro In Massachusetts, these measures have been adopted, and not without a mensure of success. Psychical. Whatsoever morbid conditions the excessive use of alcohol may set up in the UUUJ't we uiusi ucvci luac Mgut ui luc ihcl that success In Its treatment is lmpoesible without a change In character. It is obvious, then, that only wben psychical remedies are applied have we the right to look, as a rule, for an arrest of tbe habit. At Emmanue< Church theso psychical remedies are used In conjunction with tbe physical agencies. What, then, are these psychical remedies? First, explanation and encouragement. If there is one thing that tbe drunkard needs above everything else, it Is sympathy and reassurance. His uervou? condition makes bim easily depressed. lie has fallen very often belore lu spite of good resolutions. His relatives and friends look at bim askance. He has lost his sell-respect. The first duty, then, of the successful teacher is to re-establish lhe drunkard's self-respect, to show him bow others have overcome the same misery und are today held In honor and are leading useful lives. The psychical aspects of the trouble are Uien explained, the energies of the will are evoked, and hope is once more born within the victim's sonl. I, THE POWER OF SUGGESTION. Seeondly. suggestion, either in a hypnotic or in a wHking state, is applied. That this method bus won distinct successes can no longer be quesiloned. Dr. Charles Lloyd Tnckey writes: "I have treated, during the past, twelve years, two hundred casts o' chronic alcoholism and have found that I'ypnoiic suggestion mis pruveu ci>iij{>ii*iei.y curallve in about a third of these." Dr. j. Milne Bramwell states that out of seventysix cases or chronic alcoholism and dlpsotnauia treated by him. sixty-four were either cured or improved. l)r. BarlsSidls of Boston has also heed singularly successful in the application of thts meiliod?one of hi? most striking cures belug that of a mau who hud inherited h tendency to alcoholism from both his lather's and his mother's side, aud had mnk dowd into such a besotted stale that Dr. Sidis did not entertain much hope of restoration. Llebeault has staled that he kuows cases of chronic alcoholism which lie treated and cured over twenty years ago and which have ramalned cured. Ono of my medical colleagues, Dr. I. II. Corlat, has also treated successfully, by hypnotic suggestion, several very bad cases. HOW TilK PATIENT llKI.I'S HIMSELF. I will now briefly describe our method of applying *ui?gestiou to the alcoholic. Altera rigid medical examination and while pnyslcul complications, if there are any, are being 1 atteuced to, ilie patient is admitted for treatment. It Is necessary that he should not be under tno It fiuence of alcohol at the time, since the poison actH against the nervous calm and quiet necessary lor the acceptance ] of the suggestions. He Is then either slightly hypnotized or put Into a very calm, passive, ' relaxed condition. In this state. I suggest to him that be can abstain If he will, that henceforth drink will cease to be a temptation, or t ^asw??L?KaB Half the time when | granted that he is a vi< stomachs are never frie: I ordinary stomach can the Lard comes from the South.

I tell him: that.' his reason and oonscteoot I condemn his habit and that, thereforh, bis will must rouse Itself Id order to carry out the commands of his higher nature. , Should the patient be exposed to exceptional temptation, I suggest that he will associate the thought of drinking aloohol with a sense of Dausea, that splrltn,wlll make him vomit. If the patient complains of feelings of depression, especially in the morning, I suggest t/% Ktm that hi a will ho co nn mnf? Hpfilrn In drink in the morning, beoause be will tben feel strong and not depressed. I am In tbe bablt of causing tbe patient to turn my supeestton into an auto-suggestion; tbi-t 1b, when I say: J'You will drink no more alcohol," I ask hlrn to mak? a vow to himself, "I will drink no more alcohol." It Is by this means that tbe initiative of the individual is secured and his will power developed. In other words It Is not 1 that suppose tbe lchibltlOQ against alboho); it Is he blmself who does It. Thus, in suggestion, one substitutes a new emotional complex for an old one, and the new complex results In altered conduct. In some way not yet explained by science, these suggestions are accepted by tbe subconscious element Id tbe mind and lead to corresponding mental and physiological reactions. My experience convinces me that hypnotic suggestion Is of distinct value as a help to tbe moral reform of the drunkard, beoause it breaks tbe power of tbe bablt and gives a chance for more distinctly ethical forces to work. It would, however, be ill-judged to expect from It more tban it can do. Of itself, it can do something; but for tbe best results, Its power requires to be supplemented by other agencies. the appeal to religion. Moral and Religious. Medical science acknowledges to-aay the power of the religious motive in overcoming tbls disorder. Da. T. N. Kelynack aoknowlekges "tbe incalculable assistance whlob tbe wise worker and unprejudiced physician may abtaln by bringing to bear on tbe whole life of tbe patient that Power, the majesty and mystery, tbe consolation and Inspiration of which it is the mission of religion to reveal.' Hence we appeal to the moral and religious Instincts of the sufferer. We teach tbe power and biest-Ing of praver, of frequenting tbe company ol moral and religious people, and of avoiding temptations to sell-indulgence. Under this head would also come tbe providing of good Kclentide literature dealing with ih- mental, social, and physiological effects of alcohol. FlnaTlv, personal visitation In tbe homes thAnoHontu onrt offnrla in msikn thftlr n.n. i vironment, as far as possible, favorable to a permanent cure, ere of tbe greatest value. Io order to do this tbe more effectively, we have, in connection With our work, a social service department, Id which a uumberof ladles and gentlemen personally lntereot themselves In our afflicted charges. The activity of the 6gclal worker Is an Important, to say the least of It, as that of either the doctor or the clegyman. Hence it will be Keen that we try to combine the forces of tbe physician, the psychologist, tbe minister of religion,and the social worker, and in doing so we have, I think, supplemented tbe selous defects of the asylums and homes for| drunkards, where, as a rule, no syttematlo psychic or religious treatment is ever administered, and where no attempt at the after care of discharged patients Is made. Let me now describe briefly a few oi the CRHes which I have treated: The flr?t is that of a man of forty-two, an Iron molder by trade, whom we will call John Brown. So far as could be dUoovered, there was do alcoholic tendency Id bis family. John Brown has been a steady drinker, with occasional bouts of extreme drunkenness, during a period of twenty years. His habit was a very simple one. He drank as long as there was any money in his pocket, and for protraoted periods he Indulged in twenty or more glasses of wblsftey and beer dally. In a urhrH h a txraa rorolv If AVPr. AflitA flnhpr. Owing to hio Intemperance, he das been frequently out of employment, causing great distress In the home. One Sunday morning after servece, he was brought to me by a lady, who modestly requested that be should be curr>d of bis drunkenness forthwith. John Brown prtsented a very unprepossessing appearance. He was Ul-olBd, dirty, unshaven, but, for the moment, free from the Influence of liquor. SOME NOTABLE CASES. Mv first Interview with him was on October 10, 1907, and from then until July 81, 1908, he was a total abstainer. He became a member of a Catholic temperance club, and. In spite of occasional want of employment and profound discouragement, be remained true to his principles till the date named, when he had a relapse. This fall was caused by the severity of bis struggle for a living. During the summer months he was engaged In peddling fruit, vegetables, etc., but the horse which assisted him In his dally rounds was very ancient, so ancient Indeed that passersby felt it their duty to make humorous allusions to both the horse and its owner; but, as In the story of the boys and the frogs, what was fun to th? lookerf-on was anything but fun to John Brown, and so be fell back on bis favorite stimulant for about five days. Our socia - ervice department tuttu uueu uiui uai with a new borne, treatment was resumed, and be started la again wltb Dew bope. From tbat time to ibe prevent be ban remained absolutely sober. He is repaying tbe money spent (or the horse, biH wile and children are well clothed and happy, and peace reigns wlthlD the home. In all, be has heeun treated thirty-seven times, and there Is every ground lor hoplog tbat bis cure may be permanent. The next case 1r tbatof a woman, whom we will call Mary RobinsoD. She is a cook, and there seem* to be something Id ber employment which especially lnduoas to overludulgence in spirituous drinks. Mary Robinson has been a drluker ever since she can remember, though she will not admit tbat she hud ever been exactly dmnk till November, 1907, when the liquor got the better of her and she was unable to control her craving. From that date her habit was to drink the almost Incredible quantity of a quart of wblfky a day. and of course deep Intoxication, dlsgrare, and dismissal from employment were the consequences. She came td us on March 31, 1008, and was treated by non-bypdotio suggestion up to June25. She was encouraged to pray against her besetting vice and whs also taught the art of autc-auggestion. Up till this tlmo she had worked In, a house where she had free access to brandy, which was used lor cooking pbrposes, and yet sb* was able to remain a total abstainer. On June 25 she left for another position at the seaside, but kept In touch with us by means of correspondence. On September II sh? returned to Boston, wheee she has obtained a good position. She still remains a total abstainer aud Is now trying to save another woman from alcoholism. More than a year ago a young man of twenty-four, who may take the name of Tom Jones, came to me for help against the alcoholic vice. Tom Jones Inns linen specimen of physical manhood as I have ever beheld, broad-shouldered, muscular, well developed, nix leet two in height. For about jour yetrs he had drunk enormons quantities of liquor. His average dally allowance was twenty glasses of ale and wine, but sometimes he Indulged to the extent of forty glasses of these drinks In a day. lie bad perlodlo drinking boutt, which lasted for seven or eight days at a time. As he saw ruin staring him In the facs, he wisely decided to quit. 1 1 - r u a Lard a person feels blue and out of soi ctim of the "lard habit." Lar< nds for long.

One more story: James Smith is a man of fifty-live, who occupies a very Important prsitlon in a preat commercial concern. For thirty years James Smith was ? hard drinker.

About fifteen monlbs ago, his family physician sent him to me. From tbe first interview till the present time James Smith has remalued a strict total abstainer. He is ablr> to do a full day's work, enjoys 111* thoroughly. has materially increased tbe happiness of bis family, and is winning back the honor and esteem of bis acquaintances. the solution in sight. He was treated seventeen times and was dismissed with tbe habit arrested nine moDtb ago. Tbe methods employed were suggestion, self-suggestion, appeal to tbe religious feeling and moral instlnot. I once asked this patient to explain to me the difference, if any, between his total abstlnanoe now aDd his total abstinence on preceding occasions. He replied: "On eftrller accaslons when I abstained, I was still conscious of the temptation. I feared tbat I would fall. But now I have no desire to drink. I have a , strange senpe of freedom. Even when tbe thought of drink arises in my mind, It has no compelling power." These cases are taken almost at random from ray records. They are typical of many others.' My experience leads me lo believe I that by a combination of medical, byelenlc, { psychological, social, moral, and religious! forces, we n-,d. In the gr*>?t majority of cases, beneficially aflect the sufferer irom this mor-' bid cravlDg; and the same combination stirs within us the hope tba?, in a Dot f?rdtRtnnt future, Ibis sad and difficult problem will at lenKth be solved.
