TONIC INGREDIENT
Dried Turtles Also Used.
Samples Submitted for
U. S. Approval.

Dried lizards and turtles may be des-
tined for Chinese medicine ingredients.
This came to the attention of the
Government today when some lizards
and turtles were found in samples of
materials which were submitted by
Chinese company in connection with its
request for a permit to use industrial
alcohol in manufacture.
The "gobgai," or lizards from the
Cobb Desert of China. are supposed to
have a particularly potent effect in the
medicine. The ones received today were
we'll dried and probably very old. They
were trussed up with sticks to keep them
in true lizard shape.

Whether the Government, through
its Bureau of Industrial Alcohol, will

making up this medicine remains to be
determined through due course Of the
investigation to follow. 1t was eX-

head of the technical division of the
Bureau of Industrial Alcohol, that many
native Chinese remedies are allowed
to be manufactured, on the ground
that they do not furnish to the general
public a potable" or drinkable alco-
holic beverage. One of the famous
Chinese wines, however, known as Ng
Ka Ply, is on the taboo list of the Gov
ernment as alcoholic beverage, and
under law and regulations cannot be
either imported or manufactured in this
country.
Besides lizards and turtles, Peter
Valaer, chemist of the laboratory in
charge of medicines, said the Chinese
resort to such mysterious ingredients
in medicines as tiger claws. donkey
glands. snake gall and lions paws.
Analysis of many of the things sub
mitted shows they contain nothing
familiar to the pharmacopoeia except
alcohol.
How a huge snake was found in
half barrel of Chinese wine was recalled
as the lore of Chinese medicines was
surveyed. The discovery was made in
New York, where attendants were STIR

in the cask. The stick hit something
spongy. The barrel was opened, and

there, coiled up in the bottom, was a

Tiger hearts and glands are said to
be used extensively in some prepara-
tions. while the heart of wildcat was
found once.
Among other curioSitieS are young
deer horn, ground hog, goose, sparrows,
three snakes" blackleg fox, chicken
claws, leopard with gold coin," rice

Unusual claims are made IN the ad-
vertisements for some preparations. for
instance: "Black-leg fox wine results
to be found are increase Of wisdom and
helping kidney trouble"
On the label of another preparation
was found the following legend:
