She was a romantic girl, however, with several beaux in Eureka Township; and now that the summer session of school was over, she was going home to Nevada City, where there were other conquests to be made. Dr. Mason, a tall, lean Scotchman, lived at North Bloomfield, only nine miles distant, whence he had been summoned to attend a case of delirium tremens.
He shot himself in a paroxysm of delirium tremens, after having lost almost every penny he possessed at Faro. "You tremble Catherine. Your hand in mine is cold. Oh the pernicious woman! Oh the depths of the misery if I were indeed to tell you all I have met with and known which are entailed upon the race by the vanity, the folly, and the vice of women. Angels! yes, angels you are.
As for the poor artist, my dear, some people said it was the profuse use of spirit that brought on delirium tremens; but I don't believe it. Take another glass of Rosolio." The telling of this story always put my aunt into great good-humour, and she promised at the end of it to pay for the new setting of the diamond; desiring me to take it on my arrival in London to the great jeweller, Mr.
Then, dressed as he was, he flung himself on the bed and slept. When Dartmouth awoke the next day, the sun was streaming across the bed and Jones's anxious face was bending over him. "Oh, Mr. 'Arold," exclaimed Jones, "you've got it again." Dartmouth laughed aloud. "One would think I had delirium tremens," he said.

"You're the right sort, dominie!" he said, with a roar of laughter, filling the tumbler until it ran over and into the pastor's cuffs. Whereat the farmer laughed yet more uproariously. One of the four young men died a while ago of delirium tremens, and not one of the other three has drawn a sober breath in years. The parents are dead, the old farm is sold, and the brothers are all poor.
I had already read two books loaned to me by Max, to whose share they had fallen, in dividing the effects of the sailor who had jumped overboard. One was an account of Shipwrecks and Disasters at Sea, and the other was a large black volume, with Delirium Tremens in great gilt letters on the back.
In the same way, that other realist, M. Zola, has painted a patient suffering from delirium tremens, the disease known to common speech as "the horrors." In describing this case he does all that language can do to make it more horrible than the reality. He gives us, not realism, but super-realism, if such a term does not contradict itself.
