THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...
HENR Y: “ I’ve heard that same thing several
times lately ... that alcoholics are really
sick people. It was news to me. Do you
agree with that statement. Judge?”
OLD JUDGE:" Yes, it’s true, Henry. It’s no
notion of mine ... it’s a statement made
by scientists who hare studied the subject.”
HENRY:"WYiat did they find out, Judge?”
OLD JUDGE: “Well, as a result of their
medical research, they found out that ap
proximately 95% of the people who drink,
drink sensibly. 6% do so unwisely, at times.
Included in that 5% is the small percentage
known as alcoholics.”
HENRY: “But why are they called sick
people?”
OLD JUDGE: “Because it has been dis
covered that, in many cases, excessive drink
ing is a symptom of some physical or emo
tional maladjustment... not the cause of it.”
HENRY: "Now I understand it. Judge. I
am glad to hear of the modem approach
to this problem and that so much is really
being done to help these folks.”
