Description:Excerpt from Inebriety a Disease: President's Anniversary Address, Delivered Before the American Association for the Cure of Inebriates, at Chicago, Illinois, September 13, 1877 Have subsequent investigations in our own and other countries served to confirm its members in these positions, or to show them that they were mistaken? The first of these "principles," viz: "That Inebriety is a disease" is the great fundamental principle upon which the oldest, best established, best known and most successful Inebriate Asylums in this country are based. The correctness of this principle has however, in a few instances, been denied. I propose in this paper to inquire - What Inebriety is. Is it, as some persons affirm, always a Vice merely; or is it also a Disease? May it not be in certain circumstances one of these - a Vice, and in other circumstances - a Disease? The decision of this question manifestly must depend upon the amount and reliability of the testimony which can be brought to bear upon it. It is my purpose, on the present occasion, to summarize a portion of such testimony, and to distribute it in accordance with its relation to the following points: 1st. What is the nature of the action of Alcohol upon the human system? 2d. Does Alcohol cause acute and chronic constitutional disease in the persons habitually using it? 3d. Is the Diseased Constitution thus caused transmissible to the offspring of the drinker? 4th. Is there evidence that family and national character and constitution may be degraded by the general use of Alcohol? And 5th and last - Are these evils thus caused remediable? and how?
