Wood Alcohol

The suggestion which has been
made that the word alcohol be aban-
doned as descriptive OF methyl, or
wood, alcohol, and the term wood
naphtha substituted, is an excellent
one and should by all means be adopt
ed. The objection 10 the use of the
term alcohol is that the word has
been so generally identified with
ethyl, or grain alcohol in the public
mind that 10 the average layman It
has no other significance Chemical
~ the term is generic, applying to a
considerable class OF organic com
pounds, and includes such widely di-
verse substances as glycerine, on the
one hand and cetyl alcohol, the chief
constituent OF spermacet on the 9th
er. To the public. however, as al
ready stated, the word alcohol simply
means ethyl hydrate, or grain alcohol
the principal property OF which is to
induce intoxicatiOn; consequently, in
digent topers will drink anything
bearing the label alcohol, in ignor-
ance Of the fact pointed out by DR. j..
b. Holloway in his communication
on methyl alcohol amblyopia, that
methyl alcohol acts as specific
poison on the optic nerve. II this
dangerous substance was known and
labeled as wood naphtha instead of
wood alcohol, the temptation to use
1t as an intoxicant would be much di-
minished. though II is quite possible
that some besotted individuals would
find out its intoxicating qualities and
use il. regardless OF consequences. a
change in the name would also di-
minish its use In the manufacture OF
cordials, etc, by ignorant or un'
scrupulous makers OF cheap concoc-
tions who now use IL as substitute
for the more expensive grain alcohol
in many cases without realizing the
danger involved. In the Court OF
Special Sessions in New York an
Italian in the crowded East Side was
recently fined $3.50 for selling ami
settle cordial containing a large pro
portion of wood alcohol. and II Is
highly probable that large quantities
of these cordials are sold without de
lection. The Commissioner OF Health
of the city OF New York has issued q
special notice directing attention &c
the danger arising from the use OF
wood alcohol as a beverage, a warn
ing which. in view of the case men
toned, is particularly timely .-Medi

TRANSMITTING TUBERCULOSIS
Or. Koeh's Theory Disputed In Book
by John Sparso.

After a most thorough inyestlga-
ton extending over a period of ten
years. the Royal Commission appoint
ed by the British Government to in
quire into the subject of human and
bovine tuberculosis and their relation
to each other has issued its report.
1t is work OF immense scope and
Unreasonable value.
It will be remembered that the late
PORT. Robert Koch, immortal as the
discoverer Of the tubercle bacillus,
announced some years ago that the
tuberculosis with which cattle and
other animals are afflicted is quite
different in its nature from the tuber-
oulosis which kills human beings. So
different did ne declare them TO be
that was seriously proposed TO give
the bovine disease another name. DR..
Koch declared most emphatically that
the tuberculosis which affects cattle
could not possibly be transmitted to
human beings, either through eating
the flesh or drinking the milk of in
fected animals, or any other means.
Naturally, the acceptance of this
view would lead to the abandonment
of a great deal of the present effort
to stamp out tuberculosis through
dairy inspection, slaughtering infect
ed animals, imposing the tuberculin
test, and son on. If true, DR.. Koch's
theory would revolutionize the prac-
tice of most civilized governments in
this respect In this book "The Com
mon Sense OF the Milk Question
ly xtolr affict.
(The Macmillan Coz John Spargo
vigorously assailed Dr. Koch's posi-
| ton, marshaling vast body Of
facts to prove the essential identity
of the human and bovine varieties of
tuberculosis, protesting against any
slackenng Of vigilance in the matter
of milk inspection, and pleading for
a more aggressive policy in handling
the milk supply the large cities.
Mr.. Spargos WORK has for some
| time been recognized as the standard
popular exposition of this very diff
ficult and intricate subject Experts
and scientific associations in all
parts of the world have testified to
its accuracy and comprehenslveness.
! 1t is interesting to notice, therefore,
that the British Royal Commission
takes Mr. Spargo's position in the
discussion OF the issue raised by DR..
Koch. The Commissioners agree
with Mr.. Spargo as against the great
German scientist upon the particular
point in question, and, furthermore,
they advocate working programme
for British cities identical in all par
tioulars with that advocated by Mr..
Spargo in his book

tar or concrete tue alum In powdered

dissolved IN the water employed In
mixing the concrete. or both the alum

safer method In practice. since with
the latter method the water must be
thoroughly stirred while the two are
being mixed. or the preclpltate may
form In large masses. which II Is prac-
ucally impossible to break up: and
further. the water must be kept stirred
to prevent the compound from ac-
cumulating on the surface. These are
conditions that It Il not always easy

the alum Is more easily dissolved than
the soap. and hence the alum may be
dissolved In. say. one-ffth Of the water.

be mixed together being careful to stir
