3.
Chronic alcoholism, characterized by failure of the memory and power of judgment, with partial paralysis--generally ending fatally.

4.
Dypsomania, or an _irresistible_ craving for alcoholic stimulants, occuring very frequently, paroxysmally, and with constant liability to periodical exacerbations, when the craving becomes altogether uncontrollable.

Of this latter form of disease, he says: "This is invariably associated with a certain _impairment of the intellect, and of the affections and the moral powers_." Dr.Alexander Peddie, a physician of over thirty-seven years' practice in Edinburgh, gave, in his evidence, many remarkable instances of the moral perversions that followed continued drinking.
RELATION BETWEEN INSANITY AND DRUNKENNESS.
Dr.John Nugent said that his experience of twenty-six years among lunatics, led him to believe that there is a very close relation between the results of the abuse of alcohol and insanity.

The population of Ireland had decreased, he said, two millions in twenty-five years, but there was the same amount of insanity now that there was before.

He attributed this, in a great measure, to indulgence in drink.
Dr.Arthur Mitchell, Commissioner of Lunacy for Scotland, testified that the excessive use of alcohol caused a large amount of the lunacy, crime and pauperism of that country.
