Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Half-Yearly Abstract of the Medical Sciences, Vol. 56: Being a Digest of British and Continental Medicine, and of the Progress of Medicine and the Collateral Sciences; July-December, 1872
Whether intoxicated or merely excited by alcohol, the most gentle and sens sible man becomes for the time quarrelsome and a swaggerer - hence bloody contests or perilous tricks. The same cause singularly augments the dangers inherent to certain professions, which may be avoided or overcome without trouble by skill and coolness, but which cause the man rendered imprudent, weak, or clumsy by drink to become a victim.
