Alcohol Paralysis.~--You have seen how a drunken man staggers when he walks.

Did you ever see a man who walked just as though he were drunk when he was really sober?
This is because a part of the brain or spinal cord has been permanently injured or paralyzed.

Alcohol is not the only cause of this disease, and so you must not think every person who staggers is or has been a drunkard; but alcohol is a very frequent cause of paralysis.

Effects of Alcohol upon the Mind and Character.~--When a man is under the influence of alcohol is his character good or bad?
Is a man likely to be good, or to be bad, when he is drunk or excited by drink?
Most men behave badly when they are drunk, and after they have been drunk a great many times they often behave badly all the time.

A great many of the men who are shut up in prisons would not have been sent there if they had never learned to drink.
