It is now fourth among the na­ tions of Europe, following close on the second and third; Belgium being the first and. Great Britain second." These are grave statements says the Methodist Recorder, indicating a new peril to that gifted and excitable people, and through them to the European nations at large. ;';%hat a drunken France may mean the World has yet. to learn. . Intemperance in drink heads the list of physical causes of insanity, and domestic trouble and grief the moral causes, but out ol over 2,000 cases of insanity we find intemperance in drink the cause of 877 cases, or 27.4 per cent, and domes­ tic trouble and grief in only 72 cases, or 3.4 per cent. There can be no doubt " that intemperance in drink induces in­ sanity in fully 25 per cent of all the insane cases in the United States, either directly or indirectly. It is also respon­ sible tor very much of the imbecility and idiocy of the offspring of intemperate parents. Where strong liquors are in­ creasingly consumed we find a propor- -tionate amount of alcoholic insanity. ^Fhere the consumption of alcohol -doubles, there we find the cases of insan­ ity from intemperance will rise over 50 per cent. - i - * ; • QJ f Still - on -Eart h I I.
