The results from a small series of persons suffering from alcoholism suggested that the amounts of water and electrolytes in their brains (obtained post mortem) differed from those of control and depressed individuals (Shaw, Frizel, Camps and White, 1969). Since publishing this work we have analysed brain tissue from a further series of alcoholic subjects, and in this paper we compare these findings with the original data from control and depressed groups.
