Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Disease of Inebriety From Alcohol, Opium, and Other Narcotic Drugs: Its Etiology, Pathology, Treatment and Medico-Legal Relations In 1870 the American Association for the Study and cure of Inebriety was organized in New York City. Its members were composed of physicians connected with asylums for Inebriates and others interested in the scientific study of the drink problem. The following statements were adopted as representing the principles and purposes of the Association: 1. Inebriety is a disease. 2. It is curable as other diseases are. 3. The constitutional tendency to this disease may be either inherited or acquired; but the disease is often induced by the habitual use of alcohol or other narcotic substances. 4. Alcohol has its place in the arts and sciences, but as a medicine it is classed among the poisons, and its internal use is always more or less dangerous, and should be prescribed with great caution. 5. All methods hitherto employed for the treatment of inebriety that have not recognized the disordered physical condition caused by alcohol, opium, or other narcotics, have proved inadequate in its cure; hence the establishment of Hospitals for the special treatment of inebriety, in which such conditions are recognized, becomes a positive need of the age.
