attribute their headache and tremors to overexertion, etc. They always deny using much alcohol and are absolutely untruthful on this subject. Overwork necessitates drinking, or it only happens after a death in the family, etc. Will power deteriorates rapidly. These individuals often commit crimes and come into conflict with the law. Gastritis, cirrhosis of the liver and numerous other diseases complicate the situation. Dizzy spells and headaches are common, as well as tremors of the tongue and fingers. Neurotic involvements are noted, with anesthesias, hyperesthesias, paresthesias, and muscular atrophies as well as speech defects. Epileptiform attacks are not infrequent in chronic alcoholism, and were found in ten per cent of Kraepelin's cases. His investigations showed that eleven per cent of the beer drinkers in Munich had convulsions. Combinations of epilepsy and hysterical manifestations with chronic alcoholism are not at all unusual. Rybakoff found a hereditary taint in 66.6 per cent of his cases while Moli reported only forty-seven per cent. Heredity was found to be a factor in thirty-seven per cent of Kraepelin's Heidelberg cases and in seventeen per cent of those at Munich. He describes various pathological findings in chronic alcoholism. Meningitis with hemorrhagic membranes is common. The convolutions are atrophied and the ependyma of the ventricles thickened. Pigmentary deposits similar to those of senility are found in the cells and vessel walls. There is an increase of both neuroglia cells and fibres. Hemorrhages are occasionally found in the central gray matter. When the suspicions of the chronic alcoholic lead to well defined delusions Kraepelin speaks of "alcoholic jealousy" as constituting a distinct psychosis. The patient sees in almost everything evidences of infidelity on the part of his wife and is often inclined to question the legitimacy of his own children. Assaults and violence are frequent occurrences. Occasionally genuine hallucinations accompany this condition. Suicidal and homicidal attempts are not uncommon.
