Delirium Tremens.~ (De-lir'-i-um Tre'-mens.)--When a man takes strong liquors regularly he very soon injures his brain and nerves so that they do not get quiet, as they should, at night, and he does not sleep well.

He has frightful dreams.

He sees all sorts of wild animals and horrid shapes in his dreams.

Perhaps you have sometimes had such dreams from eating late suppers or indigestible food.
~10.~ Did you ever have a dream when you were awake?
If a man drinks a great deal he is likely to have a terrible disease known as _delirium tremens_, in which he sees the same frightful things when he is wide awake that he dreams about when he is asleep.

This is one of the terrible effects of alcohol upon the brain and nerves.
