"HASHISH AND ITS EFFECTS
Prof. Dsabans Of Brown Delivers an Interesting
Lecture Before Providence Art Club.

There was a large gathering OF the
members and friends of the Art Clup
last evening, who listened 10 lecture
ON "Hashish, and it's Effects" by Prof.
T.. Il. Delabarre OF Brown university
The lecturer placed the subject before
his audience from a scientific obscfN
er's point OF view, and ne intimaleu
that. as far as his personal experiences
went. he could only give the pam
statement OF his scientific inNestlsa-
tion. This Cannabis Indica, Indian
hemp, when properly prepared, II
known under the name of hashlsh, OF
bhang. To produce any psycholoslcal
effects a large dose, at least nVe
grains, is necessary.
After speaking of the bodily eiiectS
OF the drug, Prof. Delabarre made fei-
erence 10 it's effect on the sense Hear

cacy noted i'm the perception of degrees
of heat. The sense of touch Is also rem

tions account for many of the ehects
OF hashish. Emotions are very muon
intensified, both as TO pleasure anu
pain Apparently the drug had no ei-
feet on the memory; II anything !. a. -,
decreased. Usually the accuracy ol
mental processes was the same as uh-

To sum up his observations Proi
Delabarre stated that the effects noteo
were due to hyper excitability OF th'
nervous system. In the process IRON
