there are number of deeds that

a life chiefly filed with little things,
a ministry of love which makes SO

loff), of st. Petersburg, has pos
sibly studied the stomach more
than any other person. He says
that alcohol "causes an extremely
free secr ton of gastric Juice -
This is thought by some authori-
ties to be the result not only of its
irritant nature but also of its mar
cote influence upon the nerves
which control the supply of gastric
juice. Thus the gastric glands are
caused to exhaust themselves pre-
maturely, and if alcohol is resorted
TO daily the end will be degenera-
ton of the secreting structures of
the stomach. This is the condition
found in sufferers from gastric ca
tarrb, a disease common among
hard drinkers. Pawlow and other
Investigators say that this gastric
juice SO freely poured out when al
cohol is swallowed is lacking in
pepsin, one of the essential princi-
pies required for digestion. 1t is
foodstuffs alone that stimulate the
ps.ptic glands. Professor Chitten-
den, of Yale University, in expert
1nents upon u dog, found that
strong alcohol caused a flow of
gastric fluid, but he observed that
water had the same effect. He
found a great difference in the
fluids thus produced; the gastric
juice accompanying the drinking
of water was possessed of much
more powerful digestive proper
ties than the gastric juice which
followed the swallowing of alcohol.
Some observers state that the
mouths of the glands which Sc
crete gastric juice become blocked
with dead cell matter, killed by
the alcohol. and with Shiny mncus
which the stomach pours out to
protect its de licaie lining from the
iritant effects of the alcohol. THIS
mucus is said to resemble that
which is discharged from the nos
trils during a heavy cold. The
well-known case Of Alexis st. Mar
tin, whose stomach could be exam
ined through hole left from a
wound, shows that morbid condi-
tons caused by alcohol may exist
for CONSIDERABLE time without
any sense of discom fort.

lnice OF the grape, which in the
present age is known to be- of great
service IN some forms of stomach
weakness.
1t is true that alcohol produces
feeling OF relief when taken after
heavy meal which has caused a
sensation OF weight and uneasiness
IN the stomach. 1t is therefore.
Tor the time being a seeming aid

or who els improperly cooked

action of alcohol explains this feel

drug will produce a similar effect.
Digestion is one of the most i'm
portant of all the bodily functions.
for by it food is TRANSFORMED into
blood, and the activities Of the body
are maintained. If alcohol aided

reason for its common use, and es-

In 1886 there was a destructive food
