\"img0003\"<\/a>\u00a0 L’antialcoolisme en histoires vraies\u00a0<\/em>is a volume that deals with the history of alchoholism\u00a0and the various effects on all of society. \u00a0Crafted as lectures and lessons that go with official programs it was\u00a0written by Dr. Emile\u00a0Galtier-Boissie\u0300re. \u00a0Galtier-Boissie\u0300re is probably most well known for his work on\u00a0Larousse medical illustr\u00e9 de guerre<\/a>, which is an illustrated guide to medical care during World War I. \u00a0The illustrations throughout this volume dealing with alcoholism are particularly sensational and most likely hope to shock the reader with the effects of alcohol on people’s health and subsequent lives.<\/p>\n

There is an entire chapter about the effect alcoholics and alcoholism has on the family. \u00a0For example this depiction of a woman clutching her baby in her arms while her husband is stumbling<\/p>\n

and drunk knocking furniture around their house is an indictment of the dangers of drinking. \u00a0<\/em>There is also a visual of how alcoholism\u00a0can change the health and appearance of a person.\u00a0 In the later half of the 19th-century alcohol consumption in France was quite low compared to other countries like Russia and Sweden.\u00a0 However by 1900 the average amount of what a person was drinking was sharply up so\u00a0France launched an aggressive anti-alcohol campaign and managed to get it down from 4.88 liters per inhabitant to 3.76 liters by 1906. \u00a0You can see this reflected in the graphic in the volume which includes representations of the\u00a0countries laboring under the weight of alcohol.<\/p>\n
