HOW ALCOHOL AFFECTS BRAIN.

Alcohol Is a poison to all parts of
the body, but the part which alcohol
can damage most quickly and to the
greatest extent Is the delicate and
sensitive brain. And that is a fact.
The first effect of taking alcohol into
the system Is felt by the brain; the
worst damage Is done to the most dell
cate parts Of the brain; and so 1t fol-
lows. that when a man takes a drink
Of whisky or beer. or anything else
containing alcohol. 1t promptly mud
dies his thinking. weakens his judy
ment, and loosens his control over his
actions. In other words, It quickly
steals from him what Is best In him
1t reduces the force Of highest brain
control which nature has given him,
which he has developed through ages.
and which marks him out as different
from brute animals.
Now, Of course, we don't mean to
say that when a person takes a drink
Of anything containing alcohol he at
once Is reduced to a brute animal
but very few will dispute that drunk
en- person is not much better than q
brute animal. And the reason he has
been reduced to such a state by alco-
hOl Is because, before he can take
enough of 1t to kill his body, he has
had enough to paralyxe his brain, es-
pecially the highest parts Of his brain.
1t has paralyzed his power to think, It
has paralyzed his power to judge, has
paralyzed his power to control his ac-
lions. The amount of alcohol which
makes a person drunken varies with
different people. Some can stand very
little, others great deal. However,
even a very little, though 1t does not
show itself in drunkenpess, has a
damaging effect on the brain. This Is
what we want to point out particular
ly. Too many people think that II
they drink alcohol in moderation, such
for example, as three or four glasses
of beer day, or one or two drinks
Of whisky a day, they are not doing
themselves any harm at all. Very
many even think that they may safely
drink as long as they stop before get
tAh6 0A uhh- lhCoC aAC SSAJ oah6OA
GUS and mistaken ideas to have.
Drinking even in moderation has dang
ers for the brain and nerves, and
steady drinking is very bad.
One Of the most terrible effects of
alcohol on the nervous system is de-
lirium tremens-the I'D. Us" Now,
1t is not necessary to drink oneself
drunk to get the d. It's. Here is what
doctor who has handled an enormous
number of alcoholic patients and who
has made a lifelong study Of their
troubles, has to say: "Many men who
have never been intoxicated, but have
for years steadily taken alcohol, will,
after some severe accident, develop de-
lirium tremens. Bulletin, Blu
