Now, it ought to be plain to the reader what ‘‘manufactured” and ‘‘natural”’ whis- key is. It is necessary that he should understand this if he wants to comprehend the significance of the Jlerald’s analysis of the samples secured at the station houses.

Two samples of *‘whiskey” were secured from police station]. These two samples were taken from bottles fuund in the pockets of a pair of the worst looking “‘bums” and bar-room ‘‘soxks” ever placed under arrest in this station. ‘They were simply whiskey wrecks.

The first of these two samples analyzed was tiken froma man about 35d years of

THIS IS NATURAL WHISKEY,

Prepyl.

Butyl.

Amyl.

Caproyl.

The power of their injurious effect is ex- pressed by so many carbons. For instance, there are three atoms of carbons in propyl alcohol and six atoms in caprvyl. The al- cohol below propyl is called ethyl, which is the dividing Kine of danger.

All these alechols named above are _ re- moved by rectification. If raw spirits are used in making whiskey, these «langerous aleohols exist. It costs money to rectify spirits, however, and so there is great temp- tation to use them unrectified. When this is done the whiskey may be classed as ** bad.”

Now this is about the whole thing in a nutshell. It is not true that poisonous chemicals of all sorts are used in *‘making”’ chemicals, although this is contrary to the popular idea. The raw spirit is bad enough to prevent the addition of anything else. There is only one thing cheaper that can be used and that is water. That is used with greater freedom in whiskey than it is in milk.

To be sure there are other technical adulterations, but they are practically harmless. For instance, caramel, logwood, catechu or tea infusion is added tu give color and to give a show of age, while sugar and glycerine are sometimes used, There exists no danger in their use, however.

Although these analyses have failed to show the presence of poisoned chemicals, it has proved that ** manufactured” whis- key, of which a great deal is sold nowadays, is dangerous to life. Still, natural whiskey is dangerous also. The only difference is that the manufactured kind

KILLS THE QUICKER,

It has been proved that a wineglassful of pure, natural whiskey has killed a young child. Medical history tells of an instance where a child who drank half a glass of whiskey died in 12 hours, while another who drank a similar amount of brandy died in 18 hours. The amount that can be con- sumed varies greatly, not only with indi- viduals, but in different boudily conditions of the same individual.

Officers state that they have captured what purported to be liquor, which mast have contained strong chemicals. An in- cident is related by one patrol man, He seized some whiskey (?) in a saloon, and, at the station house put some of it into an empty tomato can. -There it remained for a week ors». At the end of that time, according to his statement, the chemicals in the liquor burned the bottom of the can, so that when it was lifted up the bottom fell off. Dr. Davenport, however, hardly credits this, and says that he never came across anything in analyzing liquor in his experience which would bear out this state- ment.

The fact remains, that more people are brought into the police stations entirely un- concious from the drinking of liquor than was the case some years ago, and that more ofthem die while in that condition, The police lay it entirely to the quality of the liquor drunk, and say the cause is the result of high license and 11 o'clock closing. On account of the high tax for selling intoxicants, dealers are tempted to sell ‘“‘manufactured” liquor so as-to make a big profit, and, on

chased by the bottle hecause it is cheaper than by the drink, and, having it with them, are tempted to drink three times the amount they otherwise would were they to go from saloon to saloon and purchase it by the glass.

** This cheap liquor in bottles is raising the mischief with rum-drinkers,” said one captain of police, “and you cannot make me believe that it is not made cf chemicals. Why, I know of one large dealer who has a back room in his place of business where he makes his liquor, or, rather, where he doc- jtors itup. I don't see how they can sell whiskey for $1 a gallon when the govern- ;ment tax upon it is 75 cents, if it is whis- key that they sell.”
