Many Deaths Due to Wood Alcohol

Increases in Fatalities and in Blindness Recently Shown by Records. ‘

WARNS OF PERIL IN USE

Committee for Prevention of Blindness Begins Nation-Wijie, Campaign . of Education—Many States Take Action. —— G New York. — The increase in the number of deaths‘and cases of blindness resulting from the drinking of wood alcohol as a substitute for grain alcohol has caused the National Committee for the Prevention of Blindness, 130 East Twenty-second street, to send warnings broadcast throughout the country. The record’s in the office of the committee show more fhtin 1.000 cases of blindness in the country resulting from wood alcohol covering a period of several" years, according, to Gordon L. Berry, field secretary. This record* is admittedly incomplete. In recent months.. Mr; Berry said, there have apparently’ been more deaths than cases.of blindness resulting from the llriiiking of woojl alcohol, due, he said, to the larger quantity taken-by the victim. Upward of twentyfive deaths have oecured .in New York City and vidi-nity since Jan. 1. Similar conditions tire said to prevail in all parts of the country. Edward M. Van Cleve. managing director of the National Committee. declared that the use of wood alcohol for drinking purposes had'increased to an alarming extent in every state in the Union, no section being exempt from, its use by those ignorant of its dangers. Tift* purpose of the National Committee is to educate the people to the danger, as laws regarding the sale of wood alcohol can be evaded. Regulated In Many States. Mr. Berry said that twenty states have passed laws for the regulation and control' of the sale and use«of wood alcohol, either through pure food legislation or through the pharmacists. However, it has been, found that the laws havi not been ylgidly. enforced, he said. and. besides, if enforced would not entttoly- stop the sale and use of 4he-danger<uis ; splrits for beverage purposes; In nearly every state, he said the 'druggist is required to label "Poison" i'n every bottle of wood alco-* hoi that is sold, but this does not preVent rhe u<e of it in any manner the the ordinances of the depart-, inept provide that “it Is ifhlawful to use this alcohol In iuiv article of food, beverage or medicinal or toilet preparation'intended for external or internal human use.” The city authorities have several

times called attention to the increase !n the last few the use of wood alcohol as a'beverage and efforts have been inade through the health dm partment To enforce TtturT>r<rnrances ; .. Several months ago Dr. Charles E. Norris, a .city medical exaiuiner, sent a letter to Health Commissioner Copeland telling of several deaths from wood alcohol in New York, ami oflcring h'is. assistance in a campaigti to prevent The sale ' spirits for drinking purposes. Dr. Alexander OGettler, as chemical pathologist, also brought to»the attention of the health department and the public generally, the increased number of deaths from wood alcohol. .< . T. Fumes Also Harmful. - The Increase in the use of wood alcohol for beverage purposes Is said to have started with the increase In the price of Whisky during the winter and with the wartime prohibition of July 1. The action of wood alcohol is much -dike ordinary alcohol, except that it is more severe. Within a few hour v s after drinking, acute headache is noted, usually accompanied by Violent attacks of vomiting, pains extending over the region of the kidneys, ami excessive' dizziness. Vision miiy become impaired, total blindness occur, and death Itself result. Harmful acs tion of this poison may also be induced by breathing iis fumes, ami by absorpjion through the nUteous membranes of the body.

Further, if such credits be obtained for more than temporary purposes It would result in economic slavery of Europe to the western hemisphere and the ultimate ’ end would be war again.” Mr. Hoover points out this solution of Hie . European. economic problem: “A vigorous realization of the actual ' Situation in each country of Europe and a resolute statesmanship- based on ?ueh a realization—the populations of Europe uyist be brought to a‘ realization that productivity must be instantly increased.” In the ... present-day European ferment.

One cannot’say, truthfully, whether or not the people of Sarajevo are content with the new Jugo-Slavo government at Belgrade. Whatever dissatisfaction may exist, however, is well guarded.. In concert halls and elsewhere are posters which say, “Speak Serbian.” The formerly official German language is now superseded in all official publications by Croat (Latin alphabet) and Serbian (Cyrillic). Programs and menus are printed on two sides in the two tongues. All official > are to the effect that there is little dissatisfaction with the Jhgo- SHiwo state as now organized. ■ .. There are a number of Americans at Sarajevo engaged the affairs of the- American Red Cross and the American relief administration. These organizations are jointly occupied in ed States, under direction of Maj. F. C.

The Effects of THAT INFANTS are peculiarly susceptible to opium aud its various preparations, all of which are narcotic, is well known. Even in the smallest doses, if continued, these opiates cause changes in the functions and growth of the tells which are likely to become permanent, causing imbecility, mental perversion, a erasing for alcohol or narcotics in later life. Nervous diseases,’ such as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of stayingpowers are a result-of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet Li their infancy. The rule among physicians is that children should never receive opiates in the smallest doses for more than a day at a time, and only then if unavoidable. The administration! of Anodynes, Drops, Cordials; Soothing Syrups and other' narcotics to Children by any but a physician cannot be too strongly decried, and the druggist should not be a party to it. Children who are id need the attention of a physician, and it is nothing less than a crime to dose them willfully with narcotics. , Castoria contains no narcotics if it hears the signature of Chas.

Qpe. afternoon the. pair went into a case to have tea, and Green, who always insisted on doing all the talking, gave the order to the‘waiter. When; however, the tea things Were' brought, he noticed that something was missing,’ grid spoke angrily to the waiter abouf it. , « “My dear fellow,” objected Brown, “what on earth-are you saying?” -“Will -you kindly-refrain from making your absurb criticisms of my use of the French language?”- retorted Green. “Oh, certainly I” answered Brown, ‘Only it seems rather a waste of time to ask the waiter to bring you i staircase when what you want is a teaspoon I” —London Tit-Bits.

OLD SAYING SLIGHTLY MIXED

Familiar “Before You Could Say Jack - Robinson" Does Not Convey . • the RiqbUJdea. Opin ion'differs as to the proper duration of a social call. “Anywhere i from teitXninutes to a half-hour,” says ! the' woman who has a social secretary • and whose daily job is “calling,” to the i tune Of tea and wafers. “AU afteri noon,” says the bourgeoise. who takes ■ along her knitting a.nd sits down to I coffee and cake. “And then,” say i some, “it depends upon” the call;' ; On'some occasions and with different i people, we stay longer than others.” But Jack Robinson’s calls never varied, He never stayed long enough to wear out his welcome. In fact hardly had he been announced, hardly had the servant who admitted him spoken aloud his name than he was gone. So, as you see, .“before you can say. Jack Robinson” has no reference td the time it takes to say it. “As long as’ you can see Jack Robinson” woukU „be more in order with its origin and significance.
