The name or term proof spirit" had
its origin in an ancient custom of test
ing the quality of alcoholic liquors bv
means of gunpowder. The spirit to be
tested was poured upon the powder in a
vessel, and then set on fire. If the pow
der took fire when the spirit was con-
sumed, the term over proof was ap
piled to the spirit or alcohol. But if
so much water was present that the
powder would not burn after the alcohol
had been consumed, the liquor was
deemed under proof" The method
