ALCOHOL BRIEFLY
VIEWED FROM A
MODERN STANDPOINT
(.Continued from yesterday.)
By B. C. Keister, M. D,,
Superintendent Sanitarium for Mental
and Nervous Diseases
This, however, Is quite natural when
we consider the many disadvantages
under which our older writers labored
in not having the laboratory training
and equipment that are so absolutely
necessary to make the proper re
search and scientific study of tills
subject.
Recent investigation clearly dis
proves the old theory of alcohol being
a heart stimulant. It no longer lays
any claim to its supposed power of
argumenting the hearts' action, but,
on the contrary, it slowly depresses
the action of the heart muscle
and ultimately parayzes both
the muscle atld the delicate nerves
of the heart. This paralysis of the
cardiac nerves largely accounts for the
acute dilatation and fatal failure of
this organ in persons who have taken
large quantities of alcoholic drinks.
The common practice of administer
ing' some form of alcohilic liquor as a
restorative in oases of fainting is con
tra-indicated, and the deception should
be discountenanced by educated peo
ple. This rule applies with even great
er force to cases of shock. Recent
investigations have shown that alcohol
.administered in any form aggravates
tho conditions resulting from shock.
When taken into the system in any
form, either as a medicine In small
quanties or as a beverage tit regular
intervals, it acts in u very deleterious
manner &n the blood circulation by its
paralyzing "ffect on the delicate nerves
that supply the blood vessels caus
ing the lat* to dilate or expand,
and thereby admit a largo supply of
blood which is carried to 'he surface
and outc extremities of the body,
causing the heart to do i extra
amount of hard pumping in order to
keep the dilated vessels filled with
blood.
The extra work on the part of the
tieart deceived our older writers and
practitioners into the belief that this
organ was stimulated by the alcoholic
beverage, when in reality it was
made weaker form overwork and the
depresive effects of the alcohol on the
cardiac nerves. Not only the cardiac
nerves, but the great sympathetic sys
tem of nerves, are more or less af
fected by the anesthetic and narcotic
influences or the alcohol. It is a rec
ognized fact in clinical pathology that
toxic doses of alcohol are capable of
paralyzing tho vasomotor center, and
thereby causing dilatation of the blood
vessels. Chloral is capable of produc
ing these same resutls. Clinical ob
servation confirm all this. And ll
is a fact that when this condition ex
ists in a person who has been taking
largo quantities of alcoholic drinks he
becomes very weak and pale, the ar
terial and venous pressure falls, and
the heart receives an insufficient sup
ply of blood; the pulse soon becomes
soft anti verj rapid, and finallj syn
cope supervenes. Advt.
THE DEAD TO ARISE.
Speaking of suspenders, I was some
what startled the othei evening, din
ing a conversation with n woman of
considerable penetration and acute
ness of intellect, to have her announce
in a matter of fact tone, as though
I were familiar with the general de
tails. that the dead were to arise on
December 3, 1917.
1 thought she was joking and smiled
gayly, hut she put the extinguisher on
my little mirth at once. Nothing of
the kind. It was an actual fact that
the dead were to arise from their
graves on the date mentioned.
1 murmured my regrets at the short
age of the wheat crop and my hope
for a bumper yield next year in view
of the suddenly augmented popula
tion.
When you think of it, in detail, it
would he no small problem for the
world should its dead arise on Dec. 3.
They would certainlj have to
bring in an entirely a w era with them
or there would he troubles manifold
lei loose on the world. Real estate
would go^ip by leaps and bounds, loou
prices would ooar, l mi!} comp'.u a -
lions that appil tic nrnd would ; i -:e
and there would he the old hoy to pay
generally.
She did not like it when t suggested
these simple difficulties. The new era
would bring its own solutions with it.
Such was her tnought.
Whether the dead arise or not on the
date specified, there are sensible per
sons (that is, to all appearances) who
are convinced that they will. They
are not worrying about the future,
There will lie no future after Decem
ber 3, 1917; that is, no future for
this old, moth-eaten present. All ma
terial work will stop. All sweating
and moiling and grinting at mill will
be done away with forever. Why, it
is much like somebody sending you
$10,000 in the mall. You open your
letter listlessly. Suddenly the whole
world brightens, flickers, changes,
goes out. The New Jerusalem is here!
