Net many per- sons are competent to analyze these effects in them totality. Still fewer can examine any of them quite without prejudice. Silt in recene years a larg- er number of scientific investigators have attempted to enbstitute know. ledge for guesswork as tothe effects of alet/h01, turotigh he institution of de- finitive experiments. Seine have test- ed Its effects on the digestive apparatus a,nd other, its power over the heart and voluntary muscles ; still others, Its an, iMunn) upon the brain, On the whole, tue results ot these experience are sin- gularly consistent, Undoubtedly they tend to upset a good many time-honor- ed preconceptions. But they give bet- ter grounde for judgment as to what is the rational attitude toward alcohol than have hitherto been available. The traditional neje of alcohol is that 1 of a stimulant. It has been supposed" to stimuiatedigestion and assimilation; to stimulate the hearth/ action ; • to stimulate muscular Activity .and strength ; to stimulate the miod. The new evidence seeins to show that, in the final analysis, alcohol stimulates none of these activities ; that its final effect is everywhere depressive and in- hibitory, (at any nate, as regards high- er functions,) rather than .stimulative; that, in shortit is properla to be cls ed with the anesthetics and nasecoties. The grounds for this view should be of interest, for that matter, to every Mtn zen, cansideripg that more than one thousand million gallons of alcoholic beverages are consumed in the -United States each year. . I should like to present the new evi- dence far more fully than space will •permit. I shell attempt, however, to describe some of rhe more significant observations and experiments in suffi- cient detail to enable the reader to draw his own conclusions. TO make • room for this, I must deal with, other portions of the testimony in a very summary manner. As regards dips - tion, for example, I must be content to note that the experiments show that alcohol does indeed stimulate the note of digestive fluids,but that it oleo tends to interfere with their normal action ; so that ordinarily one effect neutral lees the other, As regards the action On the heart, I shall merely state that the ultimate effect of alcohol is to depress, in large doses to paralyze tbat organ. These, after all, are matters that con- cern thaphysician rather than the gen- eral reader. ' The effect of alcohol on muscular ac- tivity has a larger measure of popular interest; indeed it is a.question of the utmost practicality. The experiments. show that alcohol does not increase the capacity to do mosuclar work, but distinctly decreases it. Doabtlees this seems at variance with many a man's observation of himself; but the. expiate; atiou is found in the fact that alcohol: blurs the judgment As Volteernarka. it gives. not strength, but, at niost,the feeling of strength. A man may think heis working faster and better under elle influence of alcohol than he would otherwise do ; but rigidly conducted experiments do not confirm this 'opin. ion. "Both sciefice and the experience of life." Dr John J Abeleof John Hop. kins University, "have exploded •the. pirnicioge theory that eleohol, gives any persistent increase ef muscular. power. The dieappearance of this uni- versal error will greatly reduce the consumption among laboring men. It is well understood by all who control large bodies of men engaged. in physi. cal latter, that alcohol and effective work are incompateble." . It is evenquestionable Whether the energy derived from tne oxidation .of alcohol in the body can be directly used at all as a source of niuScular en- ergy. Such conmetene cbseivein as Schumberg and Schefferiedependently reached tbe conclusion that it canna. Dr Abel inclines to the same Opinion. • He suggests that ''alcohol is not a fired in the sense in which fats and carbo- hydrates are food ; it should be defined. as an 'easily oxidizable drug with nu- merous untowerd effects which inevit- ably appear when a certain miniimem dose is exceeded." He thinks that al- cohol should be classed"with the more or less dangerous stimulants and nar- cotics, such as hasheesh, tobacco, etc., rather than with truly sustainingfood stuffs." Some of the given& for this view will appear presently, as we now turn to examine the alleged stirnolat- ing effects of alcohol Imola the mental processes. eee Alcohol as a Brain Stimulant .0...1ftmamommullh...,,,or• ...re. lb... The celebratedsphysicist, Ven Helm. holtzt one of the foremost thinkers of the nineteenth century. declared ' that the very smallest quantity of alcohol seri ed effectively, while its influence lasted, to banish fronehis Mind all pos. sibility of creative effort ; all:capacity to solve an abstruce problem. The re- sult of recent experiments in the field of physiological psychologyconvince one that _the same thing is •trire in some measure of every other mind ca- pable_of creative thinking. Certainly all the evidence goes to Mao* that no mind is capable of its beet efforts when influenced by even small quantities of alcohol, If any reader of" these tvorde is disposed to challenge the statement. on the strength of his own personal experience, 1 would ask him to reflect carefully as to whether what he • has been disposed to regard as a stimulant effect may not be •better explained along lines suggested by these words of Prof. James: "The reason for ertev,. mg alcohol is that it is an anesthetic even in moderate quantities, it oblit- erates a part of the field of conscious- ness and abolishes collateral trains cif thought." The experimental evidence that tends to establish the position of alcohol as an inhibitor and disturbereather than a promoter of mental activity has been gathered largely. by German investi- gators. Many of their experiments are of a rather technical character, aiming to test the basal operations of the mind. Others, however, are emi- nently practical, as We shall see. The earliest experinients, made by Exner in Vienna so long ago at 1873, aimed to determine the effect of alcohol upon the so-called re -action time. The sub. ject-of the experinient sits at a table, with his finger upon it telegeeph key. At it given signal—say a flesh of light, —he releasee trie key. ,The time that &leans between signal and retiponse— nteasneed eleetrically in fractions of it secon3a.iti called the sitnp'e or direct reectiemtime. This vanes for differ- ent indiyiduals, but is relatively con - gent, Wider ginett conditLons, fel/ the same individual., Ekner found, how- ever. that when an individual had IM4. bibed a small quantity Of aleehel, hki , reaction time was lengthened, thouglz the subject mewed to be z esponding 1110re promptly than before, These highly suggestive experitneots attracted tee yery great amount of At. tentien at the time. Some years later, however, they were repeated by sever - at investigators, including Ellett, Vint- schgain and in particular Kvaepelii and bus pupils. haves then discovered that, in the case of a robust young man, if the quantity of alcohol anger., ed, was very small, and the testswere made immediately, the direct re -action time was net lengtbened. hut appreci- ably shortened instead'. If, however, the quantity of alcohol was increatied, or if the experiments were made at A considerable interval of time after its ingestion, the reaction time felt below the normal, as in Exner's experiments,. Subsequent experiments tested. men- tal processes of a somewhat more corn placated gneracter. For example, the subject .wouldplace each hend on it telegraph key. at right and left, The. signals would then oe varied, it being understood that one key Or the other • would be pressed proneptly, according- hy as a red or -a white light appeared. It became necessary, therefore, to rec- ognize the color of the light, and to re. call which hand was to be moved at that particular signal ; in other words to make a -choice not unlike that which it locomotive engineer is required to make when he encounters an unexpect- ed signal light. The tests showed that after the ingestion of a small quantity of alcohol—say a glass of beer—there was a marked disturbance of the men- tal processes involved in this reaction: On the .average,the keys werereleased more rapidly than before the alcohol was taken, but the wrong key Wee 'Midi More fregoently released than under normal circumstances. Speech wasattained at the cost of correct judgment; .,Thus,as Dr Stier remarks, the experiment shows the elements of two of the most significant .and per, sietent effects of alcohol, namely, the vitiating of meneal processes and the increased tendency to hasty or inco-or; dinate. movements. ' Seated otherwise, levelling don .process is involved, whereby the higher ftmetion is dulled, • the lower funotion 'accentuated, . Equally suggestive are the results Of some experiments devised by Ach and Maljarewski to test the effects of taco- • hol upon the perception and Compreh- ension of printed symbols.. The stub= ject was required to read aloud. a con - anomie series of letters or meaningless sylaibles or ' short words, as vieWed • through a small slit in a revelvieg cyl- ledge. It was found that 'after taking, a small quantity of aleciboathe subject was noticeably less able to. read corrects • ly. His •.capacity to repeat, after it short, hiterval, a, number of letters cor- reedy read, was also inueli impaired, He -made more orniesipne than before, and tended to substitute words ' and .sylebles for those actueliy seen. It is especially noteivOrthy that the largest' • number of mistakes Were Made in the reading of meaningless syleble°,—that is to eay,in the pert of the task calling.' for the highest or Moat . complicatee type of mental activity. .

Generally speaking, the high- er the intelligence, the higher will lee the ratio orlogical t� merely rhymed associations, Mereover the seine indi- vidual will exhibit. more associations Of the logical type when his Mind is ,fresh than whenit is exhausted, as af- ter a hard day's work: • • • • In Kraepellifs experiments it appear- ed' tbat even the smallest quantity of alcohol had virtually the -same effect of fatiguing the ?nand .(it - the subject,. so that the number of his rhymed res- ponses rose far above the normal.

Similarly Rudin found the effects of a single dose of alcohol to persist, as regards some forms of mental disturb- ance, for 12 hours, for Other farina 21 hour, for yet others 36 hours or more, But Rudin ea experiments bring out another aspect of the eubject, whieh no one who considers the aleehol ques- tion in any of its phases, should over- look ; this fact that individuals differ greatly in their geeponse to a given guantity'of the drum 'lams, of 4 heal- thy ' young tudents who formed the subject./ et Ruclin's experiment, two slowed a very marked disturbance ef t the mental functions for more than 48 \ Ileum whereas the tbird was influenc- ed for a shorter time, and the touith was scarcely affected at all.

The history of the eateal. processes of tariff -making in such .eciuntries as the United States, Germany' and France is are instructive exposure of this specioos teat, The !w- eaned scientific tariff is in most calms seen to emerge as an instrument of short sighted temporary expediency., forged by the interests of certain met- al and textile trades, sometimes with the 'connivance and support of the landlorcl blase. and adopted by schem- ing political financiers when driven in- to desperate straits by the extrava- gant. expenditure Of wan militarism and a "puehful" foreign policy. Such is the Olio history of modern protec- tion in Germany,France and the Unit ed States, to name the most•conspian ohs examples.
