Subject VIII. — (Total abstainer.) He served on only four days, October 9, 

 1913 (normal), October 16 (alcohol, dose A), October 23 (normal), and October 

 30 (alcohol, dose A). The series of experiments was thus incomplete and data 

 were published for patellar reflex, faradic threshold, and finger movements 

 only. No mention is made of him in Dodge and Benedict's summary chapter, 

 and thus we have no detailed information as to the relative effect of alcohol
