SUMMARY
The essential in the treatment of the inebriate as we meet him, is upbuilding of body and character, which requires time, and in which drugs play only a small part.
Compulsory abstinence is of great value if we expect to care for a majority of the inebriates.
It would be wise for the State to undertake the custody, care and control of all non-criminal inebriates in one institution, provided adequate facilities for classification were available.
