 Pharmacists who hold permits and nave given bond are allowed to medi- cate alcohol and sell it for non -bev- era2sc purposes in quantities not eX- ceeding one pint, providing they first medlcatc it in accordance with any one of nine formulas specified by the commlssloner of internal revenue. l.. S. treasury departm ent Carbolic acld, formaldchydc and bchloridc of mercury arc the chief of these de- maturing agents. The cOntainer of such medicated alcohol must bear 'poison' label. The sale by pharma- cists of medicated alcohol for indus trial purposes is prohibited. It is sold chiefly for rubbing purposes.
 Don't Neglect Danger.
 In spite of these regulations and precautions some persons are using these Doisons for drinking purposes completely disregarding the poison label which may have appeared on the bottle. In other instances, the victims have been ignorant of the dangers of that which they were using, the beverage having some misleading name. When the original manufac- turer of mixtures of this nature can be apprehended he has been in many instances subjected to severe punish ment by the courts.
 "One teaspOonful of wood alcohol taken internally is sufficient to cause total blindness, a larger quantity often causes death.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST
 'BOOTLEG' SPIRITS
Wood Alcohol Causing Alarm
 ing" Blindness Increase

The rapid increase in the number of cases of total blindness and often- times death. resulting from the drink ing of wool alcohol disguised as whiskey has led to nationwide campaign against the use of this poison under the auspices of the Na- tional Committee for the Prevention of Blindness. An eXerpt from a state ment from that organization, referring to the prevalence of blindness and death by poison since prohibition, fol- lows:
 lowing to the heavy increase re- gently 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 is sending broadcast special
 warnings of the tragic consequences
 which may follow the use of wood
 alcohol, denatureI alcohol and medi-
 cated alcohol for beverage purposes
 'Occaslonal cases of this nature
 have been occurring from time to
 time for many years, but since ma tional 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 straight.
 'The harmful action of this poison comes not only from taking it in formally, but may be induced bv breathing it's fumes and by absorD- tlon through the mucous mem branes of the body It's effect is usually noticeable very shortly after expo- sure. Within few hours after drinking, acute headache is usually noted, usually accompanied by violent attacks of vomiting, body pains, ex- tending over the regions of the kid neys, and excessive dizziness Vision l may become i'm mpaircd, total blindness 1 occur, and death itself result Dangerous Recently. 'Only within recent years has wood alcohol become so dangerous to life and sight. Formerly it was a dark bad-smellins. bad-tasting fuid> which no one was tempted 10 drink. Later.

 Wood alcohol. when purified in this way. looks, smells and tastes like grain alcohol, and may thus be easily sulb- stitutcd for it by unscrupulous per sons.
 'Denatured alcohol usually con- slsts of ninety per cent grain alcohol and ten per cent wood alcohol, thus rendering it unfit for drinking. It is being increasingly substituted for wood alcohol in many industrial llses,

Hope 'Tanlac Is Wonderful"
She Says.

Speaking from personal experi-
ence," said Mrs. D. L. Travis, well
known nurse, residing at 721 Seventh
Ave-, Peoria, Ill.,, in a conversation,
recently, II know Tanlac to be most
valuable medicine and feel it my
duty to give the facts to the world"
Mrs. Travis is only one of a great
many in her profession who have en-
dorsed Tanlac. She has been nursing
the sick for eighteen years and her
statemelt, coming. as it does, from
one Of such wide experience, will be
read with interest everywhere.
ut is my honest belief" continued
Mrs. Travis, "that there are millions
of people who, if they only knew Tan
lac as / do since using it myself,
would lose no time in relieving them
selves Of their misery as have done.
"The way l happened to know of
Tanlac was through a noted physi-
clan. At this time was suffering
from what was said to be chronic APP
pendicitis, which had troubled me for
seven or eight years. l would become

fering and when l came off from q
case was always so completely tired
out, exhausted, and nervous that
thought each case would be the last.
/ Finally, few months ago, l gave
up completely, took to my bed and
arrangements were being made for an
operation, as it was thought would
never recover without it. At this
point my physician and friend adj
vised me to try Tanlac for few days.
Knowing he would not advise me
wrong, i ordered bottle at once and
two days later my suffering was let
ting up. Those terrible pains began
to leave, the swelling and bloating
commenced to go down and in a day
or two more changed from liquid
diet to some more nourishing and sub
stantial food. From that time on /
recovered in way that was actually
astonishing to those who attended me.
In all have taken about seven bot
ties of this medicine, and today am
as we'll as one can be. My lost
strength has returned, my nerves are
perfectly calm and no one could get
more restful sleep than do. My APP

and never suffer in the slightest de-
gree with my stomach or in any other
