SCIENTIFIC PAPERS AND DISCUSSIONS 97 (this is more apt to occur in England and continental Europe than it is with us, because their wines are heavier than ours) ; chronic Bright's disease, both the large white kidney and the small contracted kidney; though the latter especially, for it is often called the gin drinker's kidney; chronic topers frequently show a dilated heart and arteriosclerosis; the catarrhal condition of the stomach and indigestion, which has been already described; in old drunkards a very intractable form of diarrhoea, cirrhosis of the liver and peripheral neuritis are diseases that can be especially claimed by alcohol. With peripheral neuritis we sometimes have an optic neuritis, causing amblyopia—defective vision—with contraction of the color fields especially; epileptoid attacks (these almost always stop when the patient gives up the alcohol), and various forms of insanity. Children inherit the alcoholic craving frequently. Many of the drunkard's children are degenerates, both physical and moral. They are especially subject to epilepsy, idiocy, chorea, and hysteria. Epilepsy, inebriety and hysteria in heredity seem to be almost interchangeable, that is, you will frequently find all three in the same family; or with inebriety in the father you often have epilepsy and hysteria in the descendants. Treatment: The raison d'etre of the periodical drinker has never been found. I know of no satisfactory explanation of the peculiar symptoms of his case. After weeks, sometimes even months, of a perfectly sober life, an irresistible craving for alcohol comes on, and he immediately plunges into a terrible drinking bout; for weeks he may pour liquor down each day to the point of coma, when suddenly there is'a revulsion of feeling; he 110 longer craves alcohol; he positively dislikes it. The odor and the taste fill him with disgust. None of them seem to understand themselves. Just at this point many of them take a great moral credit to themselves over this change that lias occurred in them in regard to alcohol. Just at this time, if there is a revival going on in their neighborhood, many of them will "join the church" or some temperance society. And they believe so positively that they will never take another drink, they know that they have reformed! And they have—until the next attack of craving. It is this state of the periodical drinker that gives the quack and charlatan their opportunity. If during their treatment this attack of dislike to alcohol comes on the drinker is convinced that the treatment has cured him and will give the strongest endorsement to gold or "three days" cures, and even to that kind of cure which the wife secretly places in the morning coffee. 4
