Effect. o, Alcohol Upon Digestion.

Prof, Kochlakoff of st. Petersburg,
has experimental upon hve healthy
persons, aged from twenty-one to TWEEN
ty-four years, with reference to the
effects of alcohol upon digestion. Ten
minutes before each meal, each person
was given about three ounces of alco-
holic liquor. containing from hve to
fifty per cent of alcohol, which Is
about the proportion found in ordinary
liquors. The following results were
obtained:
"Under the influence Of alcohol the
quantity of hydrochloric acid, as well
as the digestive power Of the gastric
Juice, is diminished. This enfeebling
of the digestion is especially marked
in persons unaccustomed to the use OF
alcohol"
DR.. Figg of Edinburgh made the fol-
lowing experiments to test the infiu-
ence Of alcohol upon digestion: He
fed two dogs equal quantities of roast
mutton. He then administered to one
dog, by passing tube into the stom-
ach, one and one-fourth ounces Of
alcohol. After hve hours both dogs
were killed and examined. The one
which had taken no alcohol was found
to have digested the meat entirely.
whereas digestion had scarcely begun
in the animal to which alcohol had
been administered.

It is very easy to prove that the IN
1uence of alcohol. as OF every other
poison, is to shorten life. DR.. willard
Parker of New York, shows from sta
tistics that for every ten temperate
persons. who die between the ages Oh
twenty-one and thirty, ffty-one lntem-
peratc persons die. Thus 1t appears
that the mortality OF liquor users is
five hundred per cent greater tnan
that of temperate persons. These ng-
ures are based on the tables used
by life insurance companies.
Notwithstanding the constant pro-
test of both moderate and immoderate
drinkers, that alcohol does not harm
them. that 1t is necessary stimulus
a preventive of fevers. colds, consump-
ton ETC., and the assertion OF certain
chemists that 1t is conservative
agent, preventing waste. and SO pro
longing life, the distinguished Engish
actuary. Mr.. Nelson. has shown from
statistical data which cannot be gain
said, that while the temperate man
has at twenty years Of age an aver
age chance of living forty-four and
one-fifth years. the drinking man has
a prospect of only fifteen and one-haif
years of life. At thirty years OF age
tho temperate man may expect thirty
six and one-half years more OF lie.
while the dram-drinker will be pretty
certain to die in less than fourteen
years.
On the other hand. the Rechabite
societies in England show statistics
clearly indicating that total abstinence
is in the highest degree conducive TO
longevity.
