Note E — Chapter VI · —SUBJECTIVE REMEDIES.
Reading edition
“But beside their excitative influence, strong stimulants induce a lethargic reaction; and it is for the sake of this after effect that many unfortunates resort to intoxication. They drink in order to get drunk; they are not tempted by the poison-fiend in the guise of a good, familiar spirit, but deliberately invoke the enemy which steals away their brains.”—International Review, December, 1880.
