Dr. Andrew C. Ivy, Ph.D., D.Sc., LL.D.: “The basic relationship of alcohol to the promotion of disease is that it impairs the general health of a person, disturbs his nutrition and causes him to expose himself to the weather, or to disease to which he would not otherwise expose himself. Thus diseases are contracted more readily, and, once contracted, are more difficult t ' recover fronj. Of course, it is the direct cau..; of acute and chronic alcoholism, and of the alcoholic psychoses, such as delerium tremens, KorsakofTs psychosis, and alcoholic hallucinosis and paranoia ”
