To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Various causes of this excess may be assigned, as each operating in numerous cases.
49 1. For instance, uneasiness of mindis fre- quently seen to lead to it. Bereavement, embarrassed circumstances, remorse, disap- pointed love or ambition, domestick trials, make a man's life a burden to him, and prompt him to seek a temporary cheerfulness by artificial means. His mind is relieved and exalted by the physical excitement, but with returning sobriety comes an hour made sad- der by the addition of n...ervous debility and a sense of degradation, and he is driven again by a stronger impulse to the same expedient.
