ALCOHOL BRIEFLY
VIEWED FROM A
MODERN STANDPOINI
(.Continued from yesterday.!
By B. C. Keister, M. D ,
siupei intendent Sanitarium for Mental
and Nervous Diseases.
These physiological effects of alco
hol are more or less observable ac
cording to the quantity administered
and the length of intervals between
doses.
We also find by clinical and mlscro
scopic observation that by the con
stant but moderate use of alcohol a
hardening of the walls of the blood
vessels, which is soon followed by a
thickening, due to an increase of
fiberotts tissue, which leads to a lack
of normal elasticity and contructility
on the part of the vessel walls. We
then have a delay in the blood cur
rent, and flnnlly a stagnation or
stasis of the circulation. This condi
tion may occur in any part of !h
body or in any of the organs, and is
known to physicians ns fibrous or fatty
degeneration.
With this abnormal condition ot the
blood vessels in the brain, we may, on
(he slightest provocation, such as a
sudden fright, a hearty meal, or any
ihing that may cause undue agitation
of the heart, have a rupture of a blood
vessel of the liver and kidneys, we
may have such a change in the func
tions of these organs as will give rise
to symptoms that are equally as
alarming.
These pathological conditions, ac
cording to miscroscopic investigation,
are brought about by no other cause,
old age excepted, than alcoholic drink
ing.
It is a true saying that "a man is
no older, no younger, and no stronger
than his blood vessels."
We have a moBt deplorable condition
of the vessels, the cells, and walls oi
me stomach in persons addicted to
the moderate use of alcohol, giving
rise to the many and varied symp
toms of dyspepsia, such as slowing
process of digestion by the destruc
tive efforts of alcohol on tho pepsin
of the gastric juice. It is claimed that
once grain of alcohol is capable of de
stroying 800 grains of pepsin.
One of the well known character
istics of alcohol is its power to extract
water from any object with which it
comes in contact, hence its deleterious
effect on the blood corpuscles, w'hlcb
contain 79 per cent of water, also the
gastric juice, which contains 97 per
cent of water(, the pancreatic juice,
which contains 80 per cent water, the
saliva, which contains 99 per cent
water, bile, 87 per cent water, muscle,
75 per cent water, brain, SO per cent
water, etc. It extracts the moisture
from tho 5,000,000 little cells that sup
ply tho gastric Juice to the stomach,
and destroys the protoplasm of the
epithelial cells of tho lining of the
.stomach, and in so doing the func
tions of this important organ of di
gestion are almost obliterated. We
find that the entlro alimentary canal
Is mere or less affected by this same
Ufstrui. ive process; in fact, no part
of the human structure escapes the

DRAGONS.
The my theology of dragons is im
mensely mixed. The one thing cer
tain scorns to be that of the many,
writers who describe them, not one
ever saw them. Many of the descrip
tions come nearer to a winged croco
dile than anything else, and the con
jecture that the dragon Idea was de
veloped from some tradition of an ex
tinct saurian seems probable enough,
says London Chronicle. In the highly
imaginative gypsy lore of southeast
ern Europe, the "drakes" becomes the
ogie of the nursery; he takes a human
wife, hunts, is an expert in horseflesh,
and lives, of course, in a palace. An
drew Lang pointed out that the .mod
ern Greek story of "the last drakes" is
the same as that told in Scotland of
"th . last Piet."
