This difference of view is more apparent than real.

It is not the drunkard's appetite that is transmitted, but the bias or proclivity which renders the subject of such an inherited tendency more susceptible to exciting causes, and therefore in greater danger from the use of alcoholic drinks than others.
Dr.N.S.Davis, in an article in the _Washingtonian_, published at Chicago, presents the opposite view of the case.

The following extract from this article is well worthy to be read and considered: "If we should say that man is so constituted that he is capable of feeling weary, restless, despondent and anxious, and that he instinctively desires to be relieved of these unpleasant feelings, we should assert a self-evident fact.

And we should thereby assert all the instincts or natural impulse there is in the matter.

It is simply a desire to be relieved from unpleasant feelings, and does not, in the slightest degree, indicate or suggest any particular remedy.
