a moral derelict and the person who advanced tho the theory that in all respects thu the drunkard was not morally responsible I 1 was himself regarded gardea re with some suspicion prior to dr discovery the reformation of the drunkard had been undertaken from a a purely moral viewpoint moral suasion had been tried the law invoked societies formed and much was done to bring the inebriate to a realizing anese of his errors occasionally a drunkard was made to see the error of hia his ways and either through tho influence of religion by means of ties of homo home and affection or on account of sonne other uther motive equally streng a drunkard was turned arom hia his downward course much credit is due to t these h e s e temperance societies tho the law and society in general far gaor the

proceeding upon thi this 1 s theory after years of careful labor dr keely established tho the pathology of drunell drunkenness en ne 39 and found a remedy for its cure r briefly stated in the phrased i lohof the layman the keely pathology for inebriety is as ms follows alcohol is not digestible it enters the body in a free state and through the blood reaches all the cells of the body it has a decided effect upon the nerve cells of the brain anil in a less degree upon all other tissues jes of the body it hardens the nerve celle and produces produce sa a variation in their type alcohol id is a poison and upon its first introduction 1 4 diw bow aw LT all 6 91 mo it 0 41 4 0 fi 7 into the human system the nerve cells enter a vigorous protest they keep up this protest against the poison as long as it continues to be introduced into the system but their protests constantly grows weaker until a time comes when the poor nerves give up in despair and acknowledge the sovereign ity of their enemy all the 4 time nature 5 has been trying to accommodate itself to the presence of the poison and establish a tolerance for forthe the same the nerve cells undergo a change in type ani ana today to day now find alcohol r hop baity for their reproduction sud zid perpetuation they perform their work under tinder the influence of alcohol and are imperfect without it in the case of a regular drinker the berye cells receive a supply daily adequate to their needs but in case of a periodical drinker who saturates tes himself with alcohol at each debauch they depend upon the alcohol for their supply when this supply begins to give out they cry for more and the diseased victim goes on another debauch which is long or short abort as circumstances may decide at times of excitement or great mental strain the alcohol in store is burned up more rapidly than under normal conditions dit ions and this accounts for the apparent r reckless e c k I 1 e s s and other wise unaccountable propensity of periodical drinkers to get drunk at the very worst times practically the same condition is brought about by tho use of and other narcotic nor cotic drugs all are poisons aud af after t er the nerve
