5 h 37 m p. m., still some gas in stomach. December 17, 1913, dose A, 4 h 45 m 

 p. m. No effect noted. February 27, 1914, dose B, 4 h 48 m p. m. 5 h 30 m p. m., 

 feels hypnotic; 6 p. m., urinated March 6, 1914, normal experiment, began 

 4 h 25 m p. m. 6 h 20 m p. m., subject comments: "alcohol makes it easier to keep 

 still." March 13, 1914, dose B, 5 h ll m p. m. 5 h 25 m p. m., says dose was sooth- 

 ing; "I would know that I had taken alcohol." 



Subject VIII. — October 16, 1913, dose A, 5 h 20 ra p. m. 5 h 50 m p. m., "sleepy 

 since I took the alcohol"; 6 h 15 m p. m., not so sleepy. October 30, 1913, dose 

 A, 5 h 43 m p. m. Said "the dose tasted frightful"; 6 h 04 m p. m., body numb, no 

 control of feet, words just come out, touch blunted, stomach sensations hot or 

 cold; 6 h 20 m p. m., marked incoordination, "extremities don't seem to belong 

 to me"; 6 h 30 m p. m., "numb all over"; doesn't care what he does. It may 

 seem strange that the subject makes all of these comments on this day when he 

 made such slight comment upon taking dose A the first time. In this con- 

 nection it is noted that on October 30, in preliminary statements, he said: 

 "After taking the alcohol on October 16, 1 couldn't study." Subject VIII was 

 not able to complete the experimental series. (See Dodge and Benedict's 

 report, p. 25.)

 alcohol effect. November 3, 1913, dose A, about 6 p. m. No comments.

 perspire at 5 h 05 m p. m.; later talkative, felt fine and not so tired; spoke pre- 

 viously of being tired because of examinations taken; 6 h 05 m p. m., urinated.

Subject X.— February 18, 1914, dose A, 2 h 40 m p. m. Felt hot in stomach for 

 first few minutes; unable to notice any particular change during the whole 

 afternoon, except that in perhaps the very last period of word reactions atten- 

 tion apt to waver; knew he was to take alcohol on this day. At end of first 

 period after taking alcohol, distinct discomfort and passed a large quantity of 

 urine. At end of experiment, no particular desire to urinate. March 4, 1914, 

 dose A, 2 p. m. 2 h 30 m p. m., some gas, but not so much as on previous days 

 and not so uncomfortable ; slight headache ; wouldn't have noticed it at usual 

 work; no desire to urinate until 4 p. m. March 18, 1914, dose A, 2 p. m; 

 2 h 20 m p. m., gas, feeling of warmth in the stomach; none at 2 h 30 m p. m.; 2 h 45 m 

 p. m., eyes feel heavy; tendency not to look up; in the eye movements, feels 

 that the eyes move down instead of straight across; 3 h 10 m p. m., slightly sleepy; 

 3 h 20 m p. m., wink stimulus felt to be 50 per cent louder than on previous days; 

 3 h 22 m p. m., very sleepy during word reactions; feels that the pause between 

 the reactions was quite long; 4 h 21 m p. m., notices how automatic the word- 

 reaction device is; surprised he can wake up and say the word so quickly; 

 more sleepy than in previous experiment; poor attention. On each of the 6 

 experimental days on which Subject X served, he ate dinner at the laboratory 

 immediately before the experimental session, 1 p. m. to l h 25 m p. m. The 

 dinner was on all days as follows: cooked beefsteak, 170 grams; boiled pota- 

 toes, 224 grams; butter, 12 grams; bread, 37 grams; water, 300 c.c. The 

 experiments began at l h 30 m p. m. on each day and continued until 4 h 30 m p.m. 

 In the case of all the other subjects used by Dodge and Benedict the previous 

 food was taken from 12 h 30 m p. m. to 1 p. m., and the experiments usually began 

 from 4 to 6 p. m. Only dose A was taken by Subject X.
