27 Deaths Result.

New York, Dec. 26.-Twenty- seven deaths from drinking wood Aalcohol and several cases of 5 spoisoning have occurred in Man. haitian between November 1 and December 20, according to off cal figures made public tonight by Chief Medical Examiner Charles Norris.
 Dr. Norris declared that in his opinion, these figures did not nearly represent the full toll of death and sickness due to taking the poison as a beverage, as he believed that many deaths and ill., ness reported as due to apoplexy, acute abdominal trouble and oth- CT causes were really caused by drinklng wood alcohol connections.
 The official figures show that only five deaths from drinking, wood alcohol were reported in Manhattan for the year 1918 and oniy four in Brooklyn for IS months prior to July 1. Dr. Nor ITS said that two ounces of ordi- nary wood alcohol were freouent- " sufficient to cause death. and that taken on an empty stomach. considerably [, less might produce oiihdness or even prove fatal.
