| Abstract | "Among the many suicides who during the last year have ended their miserable existence, persons of German birth have again been by far the most numerous. . . . The habitual use of beer seems to have a tendency to direct their psychological ailments into the form of a metamorphosis from phlegmatic ease to melancholy, and finally, suicidal mania. This, however, is, of course, nothing but a vague supposition, and the peculiar frequency of suicide among the Germans may have psychological reasons totally different." |
