But a critical examination will show that this position rests on no het terfoundation than the preceding one of combustion and increased heat. That the presence of alcohol inthe svs tem actually retards molecular changes, and consequently diminishes the aggregate amount of waste in a given time, is a well-established fact; but the inference drawn from this, that such diminution of waste is equivalent to the addition of anequal amount of newmatter through the processes of di gestionand assimilation, is entirely fallacious.
