Strong Drink and Its Effects

By Christian at Work

THE use of strong drink in France has of late years progressed, according to some statisticians, at a greater ratio than in any other country. The results are made apparent by the fact that from 1870 to 1885 the number of suicides from drunkenness has increased sixfold, while cases of madness, traceable to the same cause, have increased from nine to sixteen per cent., and accidental deaths have increased twenty per cent.—Christian at Work.
