WOOD ALCOHOL CAUSES BLIND
NESS AND DEATH.

owing to the heavy increase recently
noted IN the number of deaths and cases
OF blindness resulting from the drinking
OF wood alcohol by those ignorant of it's
dangers, the National Committee for the
Prevention of Blindness, 1870 East Twenty
second street, New York, is sending broad
cast special warnings of the tragic con-
sequences which may follow the use of
wood alcohol, denatured alcohol and med
lcated alcohol for beverage purposes.
Occasional cases of this nature have
been occurring from time to time for manv
years, but since National prohibition went
INTO effect, there has been an alarming
increase IN all sections of the country
due to the preparations of drinks in
which wood alcohol has been used or in
some cases where it has been taken

The harmful action of this poision
comes not only from taking it internally
but may likewise be induced by breathing
Its fumes, and by absorption through the
mucous membranes of the BODY. Its eff
1ect is usually noticeable very shortly
after exposure. Within few hours after
drinking, acute headache is noted, usually
accompanied by violent attacks of vomit-
Ing, body pains, extending over the region
OF the kidneys, and excessive dizziness.
vision may become impaired, total blind
ness occur, and death itself result.
Only within recent years has wood
alcohol become SO dangerous to life and
slght. Formerly it was dark, bad-smell-
ing, bad tasting fluid which no one was
tempted to drink. Later, process was
developed by which this color, smell and
taste are removed. Wood alcohol. when
purified in this way. looks, smells and
tastes like grain alcohol and may thus
be easily substituted for it by uns crupu-
lous persons.
