is WOOD ALCOHOL
FATAL

THERE Is not a single property OF
wood alcohol except its poisonous
effects, by which anyone but chemist
can distinguish between purified
wood and the ordinary or grain"
alcohol. The appearance, odor and
taste of the two are so strikingly
alike that even chemists who have
had much experience with them are
unable by these properties to distin.
guish between them with certainty
This difficulty is greatly increased
when ilavorlng matter or coloring ma
terial of any kind added.
The action of wood alcohol upon
the human or animal organism is,
however, entirely different from that
of ordinary alcohol. When the latter
is taken into the body It is rapidly
converted into water and carbonic
acid gas-harmless substances of
which any excess is promptly elimina-
ted by the kidneys and lungs. Wood
alcohol, on the other hand, Is not so
changed 1t remains in the body for
considerable time and Is slowly made
over into formlc ACID, poison which
is found in the bodies of ants. This
poison. together with another from the
same aldehyde-attacks
the brain and other organs. causing
blindness or death. These effects have
resulted from as small dose as two
teaspoonfuls of the poison and
chemists agree that It is as impossible
to produce non4poisonous wood
alcohol as it is to make a harmless
prussic acid.
