Excerpt from On Chronic Alcoholic Intoxication: With an Inquiry Into the Influence of the Abuse of Alcohol as a Predisposing Cause of Disease

I was engaged in the preparation of the first edition of this treatise for the press, when the valuable publication on 4 alcoholism, by Magnus Huss, of Stockholm, came eundeii my notice. In this work, the author has fully and accu rately described the disease now under consideration. It may be observed, however, that his attention has been more particularly directed to the symptoms and pathology of the disorder, while in the present volume comparatively great stress has been laid on the predisposing and immedi ate gcauses of the illness, and especially on its mode of treatment. In order to be assured of the correctness of my statements, I have confined myself almost exclusively to the results of my own experience, avoiding as much as possible filling up omissions by borrow mg from the writings of others. The following, therefore, 18 a mere sketch of a vast and important subject; but, however incomplete it may be, it will, I trust, be found not altogether devoid of interest and usefulness.
