Title

Advice column on ‘Drunkards’ wives,’ 9.

Subject

Marital problems and alcoholism

Description

: Advice on how to cure an alcoholic man centers on the wife, arguing that a nagging and over-ambitious wife could be the main cause. It says that she might want him to be an alcoholic so she can dominate him and appear indispensible. If the man recovers from alcoholism, such a wife can have a psychotic break because she has lost control in the house.
