Under the stamp of the French Government, the following official statement was drafted by Professor Debove, Faculty of Medicine, and Dr. Faisans, physician to the Hotel Dieu, the great Parisian hospital, and placarded in public places:—“Alcoholism causes a great variety of diseases, many of them most deadly—paralysis, insanity, disorders of the stomach and liver, dropsy—it is one of the most frequent causes of consumption. Finally, it complicates and renders more serious every acute disease. Typhoid fever, pneumonia or erysipelas, w’hlch w’ould he mild in a solier individual, will rapidly kill the alcoholic.”
