But not alone) France, he says, but all Christendom is (ailing prey to the scourge, and he brings facts and figure*) to prove his case, Among tbe Bymptoiua of the scourge bo notes are an increase in the num- ber uf suicides, of tbe insane, and of criminals. Thoai- general signs of degeneration be notes, along with more alarming evidence!*, such .m tbe decrease in the number of birtbs and in tbo stature of adults in particular localities where alcoholism has attack- ed the people ul whole sections.

Tbis 'waa an average of nine pints fur each inhabitant of Franco men, women i and children.
