the increased number of deaths from

Fumes Also Harmful.
The increase in the use of wood al
cohol for beverage purposes is said to
have started with the increase in the
price of whisky during the winter and
with the wartime prohibition Of July
1. The action of wood alcohol Is very
much like ordinary alcohol, except
that 1t is more severe. Within few
hours after drinking, acute headache
is noted, usually accompanied by vio-
lent attacks of vomiting, pains extend
ing over the region of the kidneys, and
excessive dizziness. Vision may be-
come impaired, total blindness occur,
and death itself result. Harmful ac-
ton of this poison may also be induced
by breathing its fumes, and by absorb

cases OF blindness in the country re-

record is admittedly incomplete.
In recent months, Mr.. Berry said,

due, he said, to the larger quantity
taken by the victim. Upward of twenty
five deaths have occurred in New York
City and vicinity since Jan. 1. Similar
conditions are said to prevail in all
parts Of the country.
Edward NJ. Van Cleve, managing d.
rector of the National Committee, de-
clared that the use of wood alcohol for
drinking purposes had increased to an
alarming extent in every state in the
Union, no section being exempt from
its use by those ignorant of its dangers.
The purpose Of the National Com
mittee is to educate the people to the
danger. as laws regarding the sale Of
wood alcohol can be evaded.
Regulated In Many States.
Mr.. Berry said that twenty states
have passed laws for the regulation
and control of the sale and use of
wood alcohol, either through pure food
legislation or through the pharmacists.
However, it has been found that the
laws have not been rigidly enforced,
he said, and. besides, If enforced would
not entirely stop the sale and use Of
the dangerous spirits for beverage pur-
poses. In nearly every state, he said
the druggist Is required to label
"Poison" on every bottle of wood alco-
