Tho effects of wood alcohol or de- natured alcohol have been so disas- trbus in Westerly and other places in Rhode Island that according to the ruling of the board of food and drug commissioners it must not be used in any medicinal preparation for any ex- ternal or internal use in the state Secretary John D. Groff of the com mission says that the ruling includes both crude and purified wood alcohol It has come to the attention of the commission that people have an idea that purified wood alcohol is not dan gerous. Mir. Groff says there Is no {. difference so far as the safety is con cerned and that wood alcohol in all forms is barred. The ruling applies particularly to hsir tonic. bay rum and witch hazel, In which the poison ous fogms of alcohol have been used in such preparations to a considerable extent.
