Show A quixotic writer asks: "What is the differ-' ence between the calidity of a man partaking of alcoholic beverage and that of a race horse which sweats and foams after the race?" There is no difference. It is a well known fact that aa far as I 1 the physical exertions of the horse are concerned it simply moves the heat from the interior to the external'-functions; that is. the skin of the animal. ani-mal. Then, to prevent a cold or any other ailment, the horse is covered with a warm blanket, and exercised. ex-ercised. Alcohol has a similar effect on the human hu-man body. It drives the heat from the interior to the exterior of the body. It causes the heart to palpitate more rapidly and gives external warmth to the body, to the loss of heat in the internal and vital organs. The effect of this is that parties indulging in-dulging in intoxicants, when exposed to extreme cold, are frozen to death much quicker than those who never partake of liquor. |
