Show It is laughable to read in T a Nature an article M on the influence of muscular energy in eliminating lM alcohol which has been introduced into .the Dlood, M and of how a dog was put in a box on a tread- M wheel where he had to walk, and then filled with M alcohol; how after five hours his blood was tested M and it was found the alcohol had diminished much M more rapidly than when the animal was not exer- M cising. The laughable feature is to have all this H gravely and elaborately explained by a learned French professor, because we thought the prac- H tice of walking off an overdose of booze was a H very old one and surely it is not tew for a much ' H over-loaded man to be sobered by a sharp three H minutes' fight. Exercise and out-door air change H a drunken man into a sober one almost as rapidly H as a blast of oxygen converts iron into steel. H |
