The laws and mechanics of circulation, with the principle involved in animal movement . ed into the stomach of dogs, the animals would sometimes fall in-sensible to the ground immediately upon the completion of the injection, theirrespiratory and cardiac movements ceasing within two minutes ; and that onpost-mortem examination in such cases, the stomach was nearly empty, whilethe blood was highly charged with alcohol. Experimental InquiryConcerning the Presence of Alcohol in the Ventricles of the Brain, p. 61. 202 PHYSIOLOGICAL ANATOMY. by surface evaporation, would soon make it impossible to carryon circulation ; hence, this open door for rapidly filling thevessels and the eagerness with which thirst is quenched. So,then, this circumstance, in the special anatomy of the organ,is strictly in accord with the physiological requirements, theresults of daily experience and physiological course, absorption is in correspondence with the stimulusto action, and alcohol being a powerful stimulant, producingrapid expansion in the vessels, with energetic action in the.

A, fiue arterial twig, which breaks up into a long-meshed capillarynetwork (b), which passes again into a round-meshed one (c) around the openings ofthe glands. From this latter the vein (the large dark vessel) takes its origin. muscular walls, which contract firmly upon it, the mostfavorable conditions would obtain for compelling rapid absorp-tion, the great tenuity of the liquid also favoring it. Indeed,every one knows the liquids are rapidly absorbed in thestomach, while the mechanics is sufficiently obvious, the forcein the muscular walls being available for this , another important fact remains for mention, notablythe air secreted in the cavity, passing out through the surfacecapillaries; a quantity of air being also ingested with thefood, and which assists in distending or ballooning
