Excerpt from The Junior Partners

The next: The action of Alcohol upon the brain and nerve centers, produces mania, in intensity as the volume of Alcohol is increased. The man who stands before you, his face flushed with the excite ment Of Alcohol, has in his brain the same disorder, as he who stands over you with glaring eyes and uplifted knife, and who would spill your blood to satisfy a delusion.

Finally: This mania is transmitted to posterity, and it develops in some a periodical desire for Alco hol, which impels them to excesses and crimes. In others, it allows freedom of mind through youth to manhood, then leads them into the realms of insanity.

If this be true, where rests the responsibility of checking the ever-swelling streams that are pouring into those overflowing reservoirs of Dementia, named Asylums for the Insane?

A mighty sickness hovers over the land, and all its patients are not in asylums; but in the palaces and in the cottages, among the offices and in the schools.
