2nd. This love of stimulants is one of the strongest instincts. It cannot be annihilated, but may be regulated by reason, by conscience, by education, or by law when it encroaches on the rights of others. 3rd. Climatic law governs it, the tendency to indulge to intoxication being not only greater as we go from the heat of the equator towards the north, but the character of that intoxication becoming more violent. 4th. Owing to this cosmic law intemperance is very rare near the equator. It is there a social crime and a disgrace of the deepest dye. Licentiousness and gambling are small offenses compared with it. To call a man a drunkard is the highest of insults. On the contrary at the north of 50° it is very frequent, is less of a disgrace and is by no means a social crime. 5th. Intemperance causes little or no crime toward the equator. It is an almost constant cause of crime either directly or indirectly at the north above 50°. 6th. Intemperance is modified by race as shown in the different tendencies to intoxication of different people. 7th. Races are modified physically and morally by the kind of liquor they use as proved by examination of the returns from Austria and Switzerland. 8th. Beer, native light grape wines and ardent spirits should not be classed together, for they produce very different effects on the individual and upon the race. 9th. German beer and ale can be used even freely without any very apparent injury to the individual, or without causing intoxication. They contain very small percentages of alcohol (4 or 4.5 to 6.50 per cent.). Light grape wines, unfortified by an extra amount of alcohol, can be drunk less freely but without apparent injury to the race, and with exhilaration rather than drunkenness. Some writers think they do no harm but a real good if used moderately. They never produce the violent crazy drunkenness, so noticeable from the use of the ardent spirits of the north. Ardent spirits, on the contrary, unless used very moderately, and with great temperance, and with the determination to omit them as soon as the occasion has passed for their use, are almost always injurious, if continued even moderately for any length of time, for they gradually encroach on the vital powers. If used immoderately they cause a beastly narcotism which makes the victim regardless of all the amenities and even the decencies of life, or perhaps they render him furiously crazy, so that he may murder his best friend. 10th. Races may be educated to evil by bad laws, or by the introduction of bad habits. France and a small part of Switzerland are beginning to suffer from the introduction of absinthe and other spirituous liquors. Especially is this noticeable since the late Franco-German war. 11th. A race, when it emigrates, carries its habits with it. For a time at least, those habits may override all climatic law.
