Health Figures Prove
Men Are Weaker Sex!
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

Editor. Journal Of the American Medical Association.
and Of Hygeia. the Health Magazine
You may be able to tell a drunkard by the way he
acts, but there's many q time when even police have
been fooled BY supposedly drunk people, who really
were found. To be dying from a brain hemorrhage or
from uremia.
Often police find diagnosis or drunkenness more
difficult by the fact that the suspected person has had
a secondary skull fracture after falling when drunk
But many modern police stations IN large cities are
scientifically equipped to examine specimens Of blood
and determine the amount Of alcohol in 1t. Thus
1t Is possible to be quite certain whether a person Is
drunk.
Drinking a large quantity Of alcohol at one time
results chiefly in a disturbance Of the nervous system
The muscles do not work well together. the mind
is a little bit upset, and sometimes inconsistencies
follows.
Interestingly enough. one Of the effects Of alcohol
ism Ia a lowering Of the temperature, particularly II
the person who is drunk Is exposed to cold.
One hospital record shows a case IN which a pa
tient who was drunk, and who had lain for some time
in the cold, came In with a temperature OF rs de-
erees, In contrast TO a normal temperature OF se6
degrees. Ten hours later the temperature Of this per-
son reached 90 degrees.

MUCH more dttC4iAlou HAS brCAl PaAl " ia ~
cohoIism than to the acute form OF drunkenness.
Large doses or alcohol or even small doses taken day
after day, may bring about changes in the human
body. These changes are reflected chiefly I'm the
nervous system, but may also concern the stomach,
the kidneys and the heart.
Most Of the tissues OF the body show degenerative
changes as a result OF alcoholism, the most serious
changes being those which affect the liver and re-
suit In q small. hard. contracted organ.
The worst form Of alcoholism Is delirium tremens.
A spree IN a person who Is a moderate drinker sell
dom results IN an attack OF deIrium tremens, but q
temporary excess IN a habitual drinker may bring on
the attack. Sometimes II follows the sudden with
drawal or alcohol from a chronic inebriate.
In delirium tremens the afflicted person talks con-
stantly and incoherently, Is constantly in motion and
usually wants to 20 out 70 attend 10 some imaginary
business.
There Is also a disturbance in sight and hearing
50 that the person with delIrium tremens sees all sorts
OF bugs and animals In the room and seems to think
that they are crawling on him.
As a result Of these Authorizations the man with the
ID It's" frequently attempts 70 iumD out Of a win
dow. For this reason those with p rs must be con-
stantlv watched or fastened to the bed to prevent "a

that what she had supposed to be

any definite conclusion about II. Az

that Sandy. like herself. was SIM

that he had willfuliy deceived her
which. OF course. must mean that
