Carisbrook Disorder
' Sir, —Your correspondent’s letter brings to mind an old engraving on the vicarage wall at Kirdford Parish Church, Sussex, England. It . runs: “Degradation of Drunkenness. There is no sin which doth more deface God’s image than drunkenness. It disguiseth a person and doth unman him. Drunkenness makes him have the throat of a fish, the belly of a swine, and the head of an ass. Drunkenness is the shame of nature, the extinguisher of reason, the shipwreck of chastity, and the murderer of conscience. Drunkenness is hurtful to the body. The cup kills more than the cannon; it causes dropsies, catarrhs, apoplexies: it fills the eye with fire and the legs with water and turns the body into a hospital.” No comment seems required.—Yours, etc., FOOTBALL FAN. July 20, 1966.
