TUo rotation of alcoholism to crime received serious consideration by th# senate and assembly in the state of New York during the session of tlif present year, 1905, the result being the appointment of u special committee by tlie judiciary committee of the assem bly to investigate and report what they considered to be the best methods of dealing with the treatment of criminal inebriates. The report of the commit tee will interest all classes. About 50 per cent of the convictions In the criminal courts of New York state are for intoxication, the punish ment in many cases' lining a term in prison, where the offenders are treated as criminals. On the expiration of their sentences they are sent back to the community with the stigma of "convicts" or "jail birds" to seek a livelihood as best they may. This treatment of inebriates is inhu man from a humanitarian point of view and an enormous exp • *to the state in the maintenance of jails and I penitentiaries as well as by the sup port of offenders while imprisoned. It i has been recommended for several years past in various official reports that some action should lie taken by the state to better the condition of tlij criminal inebriate and that lie should be furnished with some means by Which he COU'.d, If lie so wished, lie come a temperate and law abiding citizen. The special committee made n care ful and exhaustive investigation into the various methods for the cure of al coholism brought to their uotice and reported as follows, in part: "In I!e Criminal Inebriates.—The official report of the state commission of prisous for 1003 states: "The taxpayers of Hie statu aro an nually subjected to large expense in the! arrest and rearrest of persons charged I with drunkenness, and much of the time I of our criminal courts Is oo< upied in their i trial, ami about one-half of the expensaj of maintaining our jails . and penlten-j tlnrics is caused by the maintenance of j this class of offenders during their term! of commitment. When a man is intox-j Icated his reason is dethroned for the timoj , b, ing. It is often necessary for the pre ' tection of the public that ho be taken into j i wstody and receive treatment at tha j ' hand• of tin- state. This offense Oirunk ' entiess) should not he tn ited strictly :u» a crime. Drunkenne'-'i has in it no ele- I mi nt of malice. The law should roeognize j this distinction. The present pra.i tlee of | sending him to the jail or to the penlten ; tiur> brandr ' as a criminal to consort i with thieves only degrades and dlscour | ages him and at the same time intlictj j punishment nd privation upon his fan>» j ilv. Some wiser method of dealing Willi I tills offense should obtain. "Pursuant to tlie above recommeu- ! i dations, the committee have carefully j ; considered the need of some action for i the relief of these dependent and de- ( lhnpicul classes and also various nielli- | | oils of treatment of persons suffering ; frjm alcoholism. lteeognizmg that i many of those persons are suffering fi un a disease, some form of nied- i leal trcntmvi'.i should be given. ' In the judgment of this committee tiie beat treatment therefor is that of tiio Oppenhuimei Institute, us it is i Strongly indorsed and tidvocated by large numbers of physicians and lui-i --ue-s and pi'ni'e -ional men of h:!Ill standing, national repute and umjues , tione.i authority, the treatment itself being reported as prompt, effective and free from certain objections inherent in other systems. A further reason for the selection of thi* uvniincni hi us especial adaptability tn thosa Classes spi-.'itied by tlit* stale commis sion of prisons and the Charity O" faulzittioii society on account of it* simplicity of operation, no residence at an institute being required, and itlso because of its easy administration ir each city and county of the state. "Furl her more, carefully compiled re ports show that the Oppenheiuier 1b Btilutc lias already treated with marked success a considerable uuui b«r of this .lass of inebriates, many of them at the instance of courts and pro bttioli officers, both in New York slata ■nd elsewhere." Tha solution of the problem had in i mind by the committee as being at ov.- e ■lore economical, more scientific an i more huLuaue may be shown l»v a sin tfO LIFE, NO AMBITION. NO ENERGY.

The Philadelphia liven lug liulletlli and the North American called t! .;• attention of I licit' readers 10 t» man, a \i Leran ot (lie < -rand Arin.v. who had siienl must of ins time io< thirty years in jail for drnußomiosM.

This attracted the attention of the Oppenheiuier physician, who vis ited the pi'i. li itiul with the consent oI tl 10 proper official brought the man tin der treatment. In twenty-lour houn he was entirely free front his craving and at the instance of the physician 1 was paroled. lie came every day to the Institute for his medicine and i:i four weeks was completely restored, lie lias had a year and a lial* of good health, lived as a peaceable, orderly citizen, a breadwinner and producer of values and kept his family off the list of public or private charity. Tiffs is the work that should be done for the criminal inebriate in every state of the 1: UicXD ! The free distribution of Diphtheria Antitoxin inaugurated by Dr. Samuel fi. Dixon, Commissioner of the new State Department of Health, is already showing a splendid saving of precious lives. Out of tho total number of cases reported to the Department of Health in January in which the free Antitoxin was administered there were so few deaths as to bring the death rate down to 8.8 per cent. This was a reduction of over 5 per cent, from the December figures. This low death rate as shown by the January records means that in stead of about 42 lives being lost out of every hundred cases of Diphtheria, as would be found where Antitoxin is not used, the disease was able to claim only about nine victims. It means that instead of 420 deaths out of every 1000 cases of Diphtheria, the death rate is brought down by the free dis tribution of Antitoxin to 88. Health Commissioner Dixon feels confident that as the custom of free distribution of Antitoxin becomes more thoroughly established and the physicians of the State use the serum ! more promptly after the onset of the disease and in more liberal doses, the death rate will go far lower. J From city, town and country village j all over the big State of Pennsylvania ' the physicians are sending in their re -1 ports that tell the story of little chit j dren stricken down by Diphtheria, and ■ then of the arrest of the dread disease I by the administering of the wonderful prophylactic Antitoxin. Dread disease' it hardly need he called any longer, for the hand of death that was for merly thought tn have the little child surely in its grasp, the moment that Diphtheria was iliagomsed, has now lost its power. At the time that the State Depart j merit, of Health is supplying Antitoxin ; for curative purposes, it is also fur ! nlshing the serum for immunizing. ! When the family physician is called 1 into the humble home and reads upon | tho child's throat the signs that to his ' practiced eye mean Diphtheria, ho Knows also that the little brothers and I listers of the sick child have by this i time probably been exposed to the I disease and may be stricken down at any moment. No need for him to wait and see if any of these other children j develop the symptoms of the disease. He may immediately secure from the State's free distributing depots suffi cient Antitoxin to immunize every one j of the little ones, and the older mem bers of tho household, too. who have been exposed to the infection. It is now the aim of the Health Com missioner to impress upon the physi cians of the State the gnat Import since of administering the Antitoxin in curative do- a. scon as possible al ter the onset of the disease, and the Immunizing doses as soon as it is known that other children of tho household have been in any way ex i posed to the disease. Tho importance ' of this early use is shown very clearly In the clinical reports that the State Department of Health receives in cases where the free Antitoxin huH been used. The January records show In moio than one ease that If tin Anti toxin had been administered earlier, ( and in some cases more liberally, a i life micht have been saved. iPA 1R R7vN Pj 5 GAS or GASOLINE K N G I N S.
