III
	I
	Allow us to offer a short
	digression on the harmful effects
	attributed to absinthe.
	xxxWe are aware of the cam-
	paign almost everywhere against
	alcoholism; admittedly the goal is
	excellent and one can only
	applaud the efforts of those who
	seek to cure humanity of this
	hideous disease. That said, we
	have reservations about their
	methods, which cannot all be

approved; and with very good cause, they have their zealots

who, by their manifest exaggerations, compromise themselves

in the eyes of reasonable people. Thus condemning moderate

use of alcohol as well as abuse, they want to impose complete

abstinence, and even, finding moral action insufficient and

too slow, they call for forced measures to achieve complete

removal of the production and sale
