ALCOHOL: ITS POWER. FOR the right use of any agent, a knowledge of its power is quite essential, in order that its working may be duly regulated according to the effect which we desire to produce. Let us consider the power of alcohol somewhat in detail, although this may involve some repetition of former statements. I. The power of alcohol as a poison. This is great, as we have seen. In a large dose it may prove instantly fatal, as if by shock ; or the victim may linger a while, dying by chokin...g and stupor. With a less dose one may be in great danger, yet recover; carrying for many a day the traces of his injury. In a less dose still, alcohol produces what is commonly called " intoxication ;" and if this be frequently repeated, mind and body both suffer sad change the poison acting chiefly on the brain and nervous system. From this cause, life may at any time be imperilled by the invasion of active disease organic or functional : inflammation of the brain or its mem- branes, apoplexy, congestion, delirium tremens, insanity, epilepsy.
