ALCOHOL BRIEFLY
VIEWED FROM A
MODERN STANDPOINI
(.Continued from yesterday.;
By B. C. Keiiter, M. D.,
Suptilntendem Sanitarium for Mental j
and Nervous Diseases.
The brain and nerves being of a wa
tery character (80 per cent, water)
renders them very susceptible to the
Influence of alcohol. The microscope
shows that grave alterations take
place in the protoplasm of both the
nerve cell and fiber under the action of j
alcohol after It has been freely taken j
for some time. It Is a well known
fact that alcohol is a powerful proto
plasmic poison, it having a special
selective affinity for the delicate cells
of the brain and nervous system, with
whose function and capacity it Inter
feres even at aan early stage,and final
ly causing permanent gross altera
tions In the tissue, which are demon
strable to both the naked eye and
through the mlscroscope. A cell dam
aged In thlc way never recovers. It
has been demonstrated by clinical ob
servation that alcohol has been found
pent up in small sacs in the brain in
persons who have been chronic drink
trs. It may be found in various quan
tities. “Enough alcohol has been re
peatedly found In the brain of a dead
toper to spoon out into an open dish
,md sot on fire." We may have, as a
result of this accumulation of
alcohol, pressure on the brain sub
stance, giving rise to such diseases
as apoplexy, epilepsy, delirium and
insanity. The brain is hardened by
the alcohol on account of its power
of absorbing the water therefrom,
causing a very marked disturbance in
the transmission of thought and nerve
force, Impairing to a certain extent
all the mental faculties. When we con
sider theso pathological conditions of
the brain and nerves, wrought by al
cohol is it any wonder that we have
such an increase of nervous diseases,
insanity, epilepsy, feeblo-mindedness.
both hereditary and acquired.
Parental intoxication tends to pro- J
ducc impulsive degenerates and moral
imbeciles. The brunt of the evil heri
tage caused by alcoholism falls upon
the nervous system of the next gen
eration. It may not always be rec
ognisable immediately, although dur
ing early infancy Impaired nerve
vitality frequently shows itself in
convulsions, meningitis, and other
forms of nervous debilities. Many chil
dren of alcoholic parentage show signs
of stupidity, mental deficiency, moral
instability, and lack of normal con
trol, while others exhibit idiocy, epil
epsy, and hysteria, together with va
rious abnormal cravings. .
