The machine which the farmers be-

Grated by two men. In size ana ap-

The machines do not head the

Of casualties resulting from the con-
sumption of denatured alcohol its sale
is not decreasing. People Invariably
drink d%cnatured alcohol with cider
which is mixed with different spices.
only ten days ago the police registered
ten deaths due to drinking d~enatured
alcohol. Recently we gave a license to
a cemetery guard to buy quantities Of
denatured alcohol for technical use.
We have since discovered hat he has
been conducting a regular traffic in it,
selling it mixed with cider"
Eere are some items taken from
Russian newspapers which Illustrate
the danger arising out of the present
situation:
In Pskov n party of eight were
poisoned through the consumption Of
varnish n "a de cologne, which
they drank in the absence of vodka.
Seven of the party died"

AT Kursk a party of petty officers
OF the engineering corps in Belgorod
discovered a place where they could
get zoe alcohol, They went of on an
orgy with the result that T.. Pelukhov,
s. Lozkin, A, Zavaritzky. \. Markov

five officers are seriously ill.,"
AT kieff. in the Lukianov police
district, The police found an unknnwn
man on the street In an unconscious
condition. Notwithstanding the i'm
mediate aid given him the doctor could
not revive him and he was taken in an
automobile to the hospital. There he
was revived, but shortly after began
to bleed, and he died from c~onvulsions
An analysis showed he was poisoned
from drinking varnish."
AT Nijny Lomov ten soldiers died
from drinking VOC alcohol. The dis

CINCE the imperial decree OF last
August prohibiting the sale of
intoxicating liquor in Russia
went into effect there have been
so many deaths and cases of blindness
due to various substitutes for vodka
that alarm on the subject is felt. The
Government has already altered the
original ukase in certain provinces
and now is contemplating a general
modification which will permit the sale
of beer and light wine throughout the
empire, 1t is thought that by making
beverages of this character available
the use of deleterious connections MAJ
be stopped. At an Imperial Cabinet
meeting Prince Shachovsky, Minister
of Finance, recommended that the sale
of beer and light wine containing not
more than l6 per cent. OF alcohol be
permitted,
After the Government liquor stores
were closed on October 10, when the
prohibition decree became effective,
many Illicit saloons and di~stilleries
sprang up and sold secretly all kinds
of substitutes Tor vodka, These bev-
erages for the mosr part were com.
posed of wood alcohol and denatured
alcohol extracted from varnish and
lacquer, spices. snuff, dry yeast, cider
and wild hons. The Consumption nj

twenty-eight cases of deaths from the

since the prohibition of the sale
o. liquor at the end of August there
has appeared a new type Of cases at
the Central Moscow Hospital and other
hospitals-poisonincs from denatured
alcohol and varnish. Among the
patients were women Many of those
who were brought to the hospitals with
bad cases of ~po!sonings died after sew
eral days, while others We're cured,
though their cure was very slow.
AN analysis Of the symptoms dis
played by these patients showed tina
they were similar to those seen in
meningitis or progressive paralysis,
Those poisoned from varnish and de-
natured alcohol suffer general physical
weakness; their gait is unsteady, their
conversation is incoherent, the pupils
of their eyes grow large and do not
react to light, they suffer spasms of
the body, breathe heavily and the
heatings of their heart are i%rregulaS.
in some cases there was observed
n derangement of the organs of sight;
memory and magination We're inn

ing and were overcome with drows!-

treatment. The use of the denatured
alcohol and varnish began shortly after
the closing of the Government liquor
stores, The patients said they took
to grape wine whenever possible; from
wine they turned to varnish, and later
on to denatured alcohol as a cheaper
substitute.

been distributed in large quantities.
There is hardly a medical congress or
a session Of a medical society in Rus
STA at which the question Of alcohol
Poisoning is not on the order of busi-
ness.
AS a result of the activity of the
medical societies the sale of wood
alcohol has already been prohibited in
some places. In other places the sale
has been regulated. In kieff. for in
stance. the Governor issued an order
providing for the sale of varnish and
lacquer only in specified niares. which
will he under strict police supervision.
The storekespers also are compelled
by the order to maze an entry Of each
sale.
The following item from the Nory

Ing to the prohibition orders issued by
he authorities checking the sale of
eau de cologne;

vodka, although the increased demand
has meant extra profits. In other dis
tricts the medical authorities prompted
the Government officers to post notices
in all public places warning the popu-
lation about the dire results of drink
ing the substitutes for vodka.
As far back as last November the
Russian daily newspaper Nory Mir of
this city published an article In which
the following statement was made
ION OF the prohibition of the
sale Of liquor there has grown among
the population a great demand for de-
natured alcohol, wood alcohol, varnish

tiles found it necessary to prohibit the
sale of these articles. But notwith-
standing this order there have been
appearing daily in the local news nu-
merous items about p~oisorings from
varnish and denatured alcohol, From
kieff it is reported that there appear
daily numerous cases OF poisoning
from drinking varnish, eau de cologne
and denatured alcohol and that half OF
the cases result in deaths"
