It is very pleasant thing for those
who participate in the destruction of
liquors to know OF what they are COM
posed. Some liquors seized by sheriff
in Connecticut the other day were ex-
amined by n chemist. who reports that
the port wine WAS composed Of alcohol,
alum, sulphuric acid, oil of vitriol and
sugar of lead. Whislley was composed
of alcohol, fnsel oil, oxide Of lead and
iron. Gin was composed OF alcohol,
water, lead, sulphuric acid, oil Of juni-
per, oil of turpcntine and sugar The
lead which is present in all these liquors
is one Of the most certain and subtle
poisons. Ono dose Of it may not provo
fatal, but it is Of such nature rs to
accumulate in the system, and each
drink adds to that previously taken,
which has lost no strength. These are
simply interesting and pleasant facts for
those to know who indulge in the luxury
of much liquor.
