To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Laws have been passed to deal with these habitual 9 ISO PATHOLOGICAL INEBRIETY drunkards, and reformatories provided for them, as a result of many years' careful inquiry into inebriety and the best means of dealing with it, and as the result of three departmental Parliamentary Commissions, composed of those most qualified in this country to take evidence and report as to the most adequate methods at present at our disposal for legal treatment of the inebriate. And yet our magistrates, possessin...g no knowledge of inebriety, still persist in using their powers to treat the inebriate as a criminal. Eighty- two convictions for drunkenness, punished on each occasion by fines or imprisonment, should surely show the utter futility of such punishment. Yet because three years' reformatory treatment, followed by a return to wretched environments, had not produced a cure in an individual — whom at this stage of his inebriety probably nothing could cure, and for whom further constant care and supervision is surely there- fore necessary in his interests and in the interests of the community at large — a further term of imprison- ment with real criminals is ignorantly and cruelly, or thoughtlessly, meted out to this miserable de- generate.
