ALCOHOL ON THE MIND.
Destructive Even in the Smallest
charlottesville Lecture by
Swiss Professor.

The following abstract from a lee
ture by Prof. Forel, of Switzerland,
is of great interest in showing the
views of one of the foremost teachers
of physiology and psychology. DR..
'Forel has written very clearly and
emphatically against the use of alco-
hol, and has made many experiments
showing its injurious influence ON the
organism.
Destruction of the mind is much
worse than impairment of the organs
of the body. Alcohol affects the mind
more than any organ. All the alco-
holic beverages cause more or less dis
turbance of the mind and of the nerv-
Gus system, much the same as the
bloed-nepnaaa tee--avery organ of the
Oouy.T -1rfau Une manifestations of the
mind become impaired can be proven
by the symptoms of intoxication, and
by the effect upon the ethical, the
aesthetic ideas of the good and beauti-
full. This injury is not necessarily
limited to a regular drunkard, but is
common in moderate drinkers; and is
seen in this way. He becomes not as
truthful as he used to be. His inter-
est jim the family becomes lukewarm,
careless about the future of the fam
lily and the children, and already at
a comparatively young age shows
symptoms of senility. He becomes
more irritable. He may be often jeal-
Gus, always thinks he Isl right, fights
for his right and exhibits many other
signs of failure.
This alcoholic INVESTIGATION of the
human nervous system is soon noticed
from the use of small doses. The
action of the nerves becomes i'm
paired. The injury is first noticed in
that which is finest and most COM
plicated, that is, the aesthetical ideas,
the conscience and the reason. The
human will is always Influenced by a
different compleXus of particularly
the conscious OF unconscious feeling
of ideas. Such persons believe that
all action of the mind is by molecular
action of the brain. Bunges claims
that even very small doses of alcohol
manifest their effect on the brain and
it's action is deranged and increased.
They get tallIative and quarrelsome.
The stage of talking he calls also the
motor activity, that is, a motion of
the tongue. Greater motion becomes
degrees of paralysis. The first alco-
holic poisoning of the brain is the be-
ginning of grave disease. More
