the truth being practically universal, is not the lack of perfect health and the nervous irritation consequent on it abundant ground to account for by far a greater amount of insanity, crime and poverty than the com- paratively small amount of alcoholic liquor consumed? 33 The Rule of "Not Too Much/' Unfortunately, as I said, in the present state of knowl- edge, the effects of irrational eating cannot be clearly traced, especially as not one person in a thousand is capable of directly following up his state of health in connection with his dietary. Neither has any compre- hensive effort ever been made to trace out the social, economic and psychic effects of the abuse of the body through the stomach. It is a silent, insidious cause that does not advertise itself from the housetops like the frenzy of the drunkard, and hence, although far more dangerous, is generally ignored. I find, however, next to nothing in Prof. Chittenden's book concerning the importance of the psychic in- fluence of food and drink, beyond a reference to the desirability of absence of restraint in the selection of food, and similar matters incidentally and briefly re- ferred to. Yet this highly important consideration seems to me to incline the general balance strongly in favor of the use of alcoholic beverages temperarely, of course.
