New HAVEN. Dec. 2S-At the session Of the
American Physiological Society here to-day.
Prof. W. o. Aviator OF Wesleyan University
was reused to defence OF his views
based on recent experiments as to
tn, nutritivs value Of alcohol as a food.
Prof. Atwater gave In soientifo detail the re.
suite OF his experiments with the respiratiou-
celorimeter on the nutritive value Of alcohol a.
compared vi tn the sugar. starch and other in.
gradients OF ordinary food. His paner WAS
followed by an active discussion 10 which the
moral aspect OF the experimentation was en-.
pha.izei.
Prof. Atwater said:
Because these experiments show that alcohol
taken ~ the rate OF two and a half ounces
every twenfy-four hours may serve one OF the
pu poses Of food. IL has been inferred that
people In general may take that amount to ad.
vantage. This inference is entirely unwar-
rhnt.d aud the error IN it is as great
as the opposite one. which assumed that
alchohol In In no sense n food but always a poi.
son. SO far from regarding the results OF these
experiments as showing that the m oderate use
~ alcoholic liquors Ia generally desirable I
would endorse the saying Alcohol IL an ex.
