THE USE OF ALCOHOL.
e Acts as Paraiyzer Upon the Brain
Center.

Writing in Science Progress" DIR.
Cushny maintains that some of the
hughest functions Of the brain are
thrown out of action by alcohol ad-
ministered in quantities which induce
the phase of exhilaration. Thus 1t is
found that typesetters do a smaller
amount of work and make a much
larger number of misprints when even
a couple of glasses of beer are allowed
than when they perform their work
without this drug. Only in one re-
spect was any increased aptitude
shown-namely, in the transformation
of an idea into movement. And many
geographic experiments appear to
show that small quantities of alcohol
have the effect OF temporarily in.
creasing the capacity of doing muscu-
lar work, especially when the subject
Ia fatigued This augmentation is only
transient, and the total work done in
the course of the day is considerably
reduced by alcohol, as has long been
demonstrated in the case of forced
marching"
AS to the use of alcohol as medi-
cine, Dr. Cushny says: Alcohol is a
drug which may be useful in thera-
peutics, although l think 1t can hardly
be considered indispensable, but which
has so often given rise to habit that
its use must be curtailed to the utmost
hnait"

When the Dreyfus crisis was at its
height nine years ago DIR. Metchnikoff
of the Pasteur institute was asked how
1t was that an entire nation could have
so long and heatedly maintained the
delusion Of the guilt of the unfortunate
prisoner of DEVILS Isle. He replied
with one word: "rAbsinthe." When an
unfortunate laborer kills his wife and
children with no apparent motive;
when a bank clerk suddenly absconds
with thousands; when an army officer
sells strategic secrets to a possible
enemy; when a supreme court Judge
in rage throws up his position on the
bench and retires because Of a fancied
slight from the minister of Justice, the
answer to the question of the why and
wherefore is always the same-always
that one WORCESTERSHIRE.
In other words, the intellectual world
Of France believes that absinthe is the
curse of the fatherland, which makes
her vulnerable tn internal mantal hal-
lucinations, weak and degenerate, and
an easy prey to an invading enemy.
All that is base, unloved, and unlove-
ly in French character is described by
that one word absinthe. No wonder
that the sculptured group by Legrain
is considered to convey a most strik-
ing moral lesson
