WOOD ALCOHOL.

Much has been written in recent
years regarding the almost criminal
ignorance of the general public in the
use of wood alcohol, and its injurious
effect not only on eyesight. but on
life itself. The importance of ade-
Quate protection of the public in this
regard is emphasized by recent
tragedy in New York City. Three
women died and two were made dan
gerously i'll from drinking homemade
wine at a wedding feast. The wine
was made by the bridegroom and was
drunk by the two hundred guests
present. The recipe for the beverage.
the police say, was sugar, water, al
cohol and red and green coLoring
matter. 1t was first thought that the
women were suffering from ptomain
poison, but the coroners physician
pronounced death to be due to alcohol
poisoning, and the police declared
that the wine was made with wood
alcohol. This dangerous poison otter
kills and even when the life of the
victim is spared, he is generally blind.
