3 ALCOHOL IN HYSTEBIA.
In the spasmodic varieties of hysteria, with its neuralgia and other imitations of acute disease, we UJ ^ meet with many conditions in which the questions that o ^ — have been already before us come up for consideration.
^^ — "^ In these states of systemic derangement we have to > uj confront conditions in which the immediate action of < alcohol as an antispasmodic would be indicated. Here, •^ a however, according to my mind, a line should be tn sharply drawn. If there is any known agent which a above all others sustains the hysterical condition it 32 is alcohol. For this reason, I, for my part, leave it ^ out of the list of remedies altogether, not because I doubt its effect to relieve, but because I am sure that its effect to sustain the evil far outbalances the temporary advantage. There is a stage of alcoholic intoxication, the second, which practically is a form of hysteria, and I know of no precise method of pre- scribing alcohol that will not advance upon that stage and intensify it.
