The Dram Drinkers Nose.

1t may be reasonably supposed
that when Il Gram drinker looks
ut his face in Il mirror, and sees
that his nose is red, he is anxious
to know the exact caUSc of such Il
condition, and why, the more al.
cohos he drinks, the greater be-
comes the redncSS; and also why
angry looking bumps after awhile
make their appearance on the end
and sides of his nose. 1t may not
he ont of place says the English
Mechanic, to tell hlm, in com
mon place way, the cause.
lie is but little aware, as he
looks ut his nose, that, rs it is red
dened and congested by an unnat :,
ural supply of blood, so all the re-
Spectiye otgans of his body are
kept in state of unnatural red
ness and congestion by the habit
ual use Of alcohol. If he could
see his brain, stomach, liver, lungs
heart and kidneys in his mirror.
as he sees his nose, he would find
each of those organs in precisely
the same condition as that pre-.
sented by his nose; and this con.
gcsti0n of the vital organs explains
to him the uncomfortable manner
in which their functions are per
formed. When in perfect health,
the functions of the organs of the
body are SO quietly performed
that man forgets that he has
lungs and heart. In fact, his
general condition is so good that
he never thinks about his internal
organs; but this is not so with the
habitual drinker of alcoholic COM
pounds. The alcohol which he
drinks keeps his organs in The
same redeemed and congested con
ditiOn as his nose, and he is
always complaining that his head
aches, or feels hot, foolish and
confused; that he does not sleep,
and has startings and jerkings Gf
his limbs in his sleep; his appe-
tite is capricious, his kidneys do
not act we'll, and he has pains in
his limbs and back, or his heart
feels uneasy and has spells of pal
pitation, and his lungs do not per-
form their duty in Il manner to
make him feel at ease. He is
nervous, tremulous, and easily
startled; his liver is disortered,
he has bad taste in his mouth,
and his tongue is coated with a
thick white fur, accompanied by
feverish and thirsty sensations
about his throat.
