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.

There are four alevhols which are in- jurious tothe human system when left in whiskey. They are: 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. When the non-professional taiks of ** MANUFACTURED” WHISKEY he contemplates the use of chemicals in its composition, The chemist does not. — His ‘+ maoufactured”” whiskey is raw spirits, colored with caramel, sweetened with sugar and diluted with water. diluted with water, 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 The danger in this rests entirely with the kinds of alcohols remaining in the raw spirit used.

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.
