BIBLIOGRAPHY (PRELIMINARY) OF ■ THE LITERATURE ON THE PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL AND ALCOHOLIC DRINKS. EDITED FOR “ THE COMMITTEE OF FIFTY FQR JTJ£ HCIN OF THE LIQUOR PROBLEM' BY JOHN S. BILLINGS, M. D. WASHINGTON, D. C. : JUDD & detweiler, PRINTERS. 1894. This Bibliography has been compiled for the use of “ The Committee of Fifty for the Investigation of the Liquor Problem,” from notes fur- nished by Drs. J. S. Billings, H. P. Bowditch, R. H. Chittenden, and W. H. Welch. For the most part it includes only books and papers which contain original experiments or observations on the physiological or pathological effects of alcohols and alcoholic drinks. It does not in- clud e papers treating on the political, social, or ethical relations of alcohol, or treatises on the evils of intemperance, and it is not complete even in its own field, being merely a preliminary working list for the use of scientific investigators.

It acts as such, and not through its oxidation products. The blood of an animal under its influence coagulates more slowly and yields less fibrin than normal blood. It quickly stops amoe- boid movements of colorless corpus- cles, checks the purification of arterial blood, causes an acceleration, followed by slowing of heart beat, first raises, then lowers the arterial tension, in- creases, then decreases the rapidity of the circulation in the carotid artery. Respiration is accelerated with small quantities and decreased with larger ones. Body temperature is lowered. Irritability of motor and sensory nerves is increased, then lowered.
