ed Its effects on the digestive apparatus

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-

ension of printed symbols.. The stub=
ject was required to read aloud. a con -
anomie series of letters or meaningless

the credulous—that the adoption of

most Minized nations of the world is
convoking proof of the efficacy.of the

wisdom against the wisdom and. ex-
periences of all these nations? is the

exposure of this specioos teat, The !w-
eaned scientific tariff is in most calms
seen to emerge as an instrument of

forged by the interests of certain met-
