It is not only in the state of drunkenness that 19011 step, into danger of incurring venereal diseases, but in the state of exhilira-
tion ami weakened self-control, which follows tlio use of comparatively small amounts of alcoholic liquors. Modern scientific investigation has shown clearly that one of the earliest effects of the use of alcoholic liquors is impaired self-control.''
