...fair-sized audience gathered in Sever 11 last evening to hear Prof. William James' lecture on the Effects of Alcohol. "Alcohol," said the lecturer, "has the effect of stimulating the pulsation and dilating the superficial blood-vessels in all parts of the body and of the face. The latter is peculiarly noticeable in confirmed drunkards. The effects of this dilation is perspiration followed, if exposed to cold, by rapid cooling, if to heat, by rapid heating. Alcohol thus makes a man feel warm, but in reality, cools him. There is no stimulating effect on the nerves by alcohol...
...Yale correspondent of the N. Y. Times writes as follows concerning the announcement of the result of the Harvard-Yale freshman game: "Plenty of rumors got afloat early in the evening, and they were very conflicting, but no authentic news came from the scene of war. The '89 blood simmered, then bubbled, and finally boiled. The freshmen could stand it no longer. Encouraged by a new rumor that the Harvard fielders had burst bloodvessels in chasing home runs, they descended upon the coveted fence and took possession. They had not been there long. however, when a party of sophomores arrived...
...promptly attended to, proves fatal, as a rule. Its symptoms, though sometimes concealed, are usually visible, these being weakness of pulse, difficult respiration, coldness in extremities, and clammy perspiration.

The artery leads into the vein, which then broadens out to a greater size than the artery, thus allowing the blood to return more slowly through them to the heart. The principle arteries are two running up the neck and branching over the face and brain; two conveying blood...
...hemorrage of the brain artery is the most dangerous one possible, as blood flows to the brain from two directions. The lecturer gave a vivid exposition of these various arteries by painting them on the naked body of a young boy, who stood the ordeal well. The proper place for pressure to stop the flow of blood, are the neck, behind the collar-bone, the inner side of the upper arm, the part over the hip bone, and the inside of the thigh. Hot and cold applications are also...
There are two kinds of unconsciousness, faintness and the stunned state. In the former the action of the heart is checked, so that the brain is cut off from its supply of blood. In the latter, the cause of unconsciousness is concussion or vibration of the brain. It is a mistake to elevate the head or pour liquid down the throat in faintness; the middle of the body, on the contrary, should be elevated. The main thing to do in cases of stunning is to keep the patient at rest, and aid the breathing. Here also, no fluid should...
