Keeping pace with scientific naMsE.

The newest revelation in this 6s.nss
ton tends to the science of the Hfns
and includes the following problamx:
Why does Il man act queerlv al 1s.s
he is intoxicated?
Why is IA man absentminded "a asg-
casions?
Why does man sometimes 1sran1s,
violently insane, often dan.eaaIaa
raving lunatic?
Such questions as these hare rQ1-xAs,
