USE OF ALCOHOL DELUSIvE
instead Of ouiekening Action OF Brain
Liquor Has Tendency TO Retard
It-Few Experiments.

DR.. Kraepelin OF the Heidelberg
University. has made extensive eX.
perlments to determine the effect OF
alcohol upon brain action. He found
that while the simple. automatic ac.
tlous OF the brain, such as reading
aloud. we're at first quickened by a
small dose of alcohol. even these were
rendered less trustworthy and accu-
rate. He also found that processes
involving no more complex action
than adding figures rapidly. or Of
performing problems in mental ar
ithmetic, were hlndered by even
small doses OF alcohol The re-
suit OF these experiments came
as a surprise to DR. Kraepelin him.
self, who had hitherto shared the
popular belief that small doses of al.
cohol quickened the activity of his
mind But when ne came to measure
with his unerring instruments the ex.
act time occupied he found to his as.
tonishment that more time was re.
quired to perform these operations
than when he did not use alcohol
though It seemed to him that the
brain was acting more rapidly Smi.
lar experiments were tried upon 9th.
ers. the same results being gained in
every instance And, singularly
enough. each one felt, when under the
influence of alcohol. that he was do
ing better and more rapid work,
though the tabulated results showed
the reverse to be true Such is ever
the delusive effect of alcohol; and tie
delusion is as real as In those Incl.
dents mentioned at the beginning of
this article
This effect is not peculiar to alco
hol. THE ordinary anesthetics used
in surgery, as chloroform and ether -
says Sir Victor Horseley. make the
patient feel that he possesses great
muscular strength. and feels himself
to be making powerful efforts, which
in reality are not in any way super
human"
