Dr.. Nagao Ariga, the japanese con-
stltutional adviser to the Chinese gov
eminent, is practically a man without
a country. Since DR.. Ariga addressed
Yuan Shih-y'ai as your majesty" in q
document widely printed in the Chinese
press supporting the monarchial move
ment, DR.. Ariga has been o~stracised
by mis- fellow countrymen residing in
CHINA, and mercilessly attacked by the

The dangers of wood alcohol are just
now attracting much attention, not only
on the part of the public, but also Of
legislative bodies. A note in public
health reports records the progress Of
the campaign against this substance
during the year of 1915. The National
Association of Retail Druggists adopt
ed a resolution opposing the use Of
wood alcohol in medicinal preparations
to be used by human beings and in
favor Of such labelling as would protect
the public against its harmful use. Two
states, New Hampshire and South Da-
kota, each enacted a law restricting the
sale of wood alcohol and prescribing a
form of label to be used. The South
Dakota law debars its use in any food,
drink, medicine or toilet preparation
intended for human use, internally or
externally. The cities of New York,
Chicago. n Montclair. y. j.. have
adopted regulations or ordinances re-
stricting its use.
