regime.

After the government liquor stores were closed on Oct. Ma when fbe pro hibition decree became effective, many

Illicit saloons and distilleries sprang up and sold secretly all kinds of sub- j stitutes for vodka. These beverages for the most part were composed of . wood alcohol and denatured alcohol i extracted from varnish and lacquer. SflesS, snuff, dry yeast, cider and wild hops The onsumption of these sub

stitutt-s has been increasing and tin y are proving a source of serious dan ger. Of course it is the wood alcohol that does the chief harm. Substitute For Vodka. Of the various noxious concoctions that are beim; drunk in Russia one is "kvasok " It is made of cider, wild hops, dry yeast, wood alcohol and snuff. This snuff is sold in large quantities Another of the substitutes is "kiianr.a." of which the chief ingredients are red pepper and other strong spues along with wood alcohol These substitutes are for the poorer classes. People better off have resorted to such things as cologue and tincture of valerian. In some places conditions have ! ome no deplorable that pharmacists have applied to the authorities to r i 'ilate the sale of substitutes for vodka, although the in creased demand has meant extra

profits. In other districts the medical

authorities prompted the government officers to post notices in all public places warning the population about the dire results of drinking the substitutes for vodka. Here are some Items taken from Russian newspapers which illustrate the danger arising from the present situation. Ravages of Hoxloua Drinks. "In Pskov a party of eight pre poisoned through the consumption of varnish and eau de cologne, which they drank In the absence ot vodka. Seven of the party died." "In Petrograd, unable to buy vodka, W. Shaskov, 4; years old, drank eau de cologn I and died on the way to hospital. A. Zelentr.on. a tailor, drank denatured alcohol and was taken to the hospital in an unconscious condition " "At Knrsk a party of petty officers of the engineering corps in Relgorod discovered a place where they could get wood alcohol. They went off on an orgy with the result that F. Pelukrov, S. Lorkin. A. Zavaritzky, N Markov and F. Lyanin are dead. The other five officers are seriously III." "At Kleff, in the Lukianov police district, the police found an unknown man on the street in an unconscious condition. Notwithstanding the Immediate aid given him the doctor could not revive him and he was taken ia an automobile to the hospital. There he was revived, but shortly aft-

er beuau to bleed, and he died from convulsions. An analysis showed he k poison. d from drinking varnish." "At Nijny Loin bo v ton soldiers died from drinking v,i alcohol. The district court sentenced the pharmacist. Yanyeyev. to six nunthsat hard labor for selling wood alcohol to the soldiers." Many Persons Are Poiscned. In Rostov alone, according to the RyetCS of Petrograd, there have boon

registered during the last five months v n eitht cases of deaths from the consumption of denatured alcohol. lr. V F T hametzky, one of the best known physicians of Moscow, gave a detailed account of the effects of denatured alcohol und varnish on the uutuan system in i Tic pruwr entitled Poisonings fr i I matured Alcohol and Varnish in Momow, 1 which he read at the congress of neuropath

ologists and psychiatrists held In Moscow last February. He said: "Since the prohibition of the sale of ilquor at the end of August there has appeared a new type of eases at the (".Mitral Moscow hospital and other hospitals poisonings from denatured alcohol and varnish Among the pa tientjj were women. Many of those who were brought to the hospitals with bad cases of poisonings died after several days, while others were cured, though their cure was very slow. Many Caea of Blindness. In Petrograd the Ophthalmological society appointed a special commission to devise ways and means fur on. bating the increased consumption of denatured alcohol, eau de cologne and other liquids, the use of which causes blindness. The commission was composed of Drs. M E Reich, 1. S. Pelzer and V. N. Yeleonskaya In its report at a meeting of the Ophthalmological society held at Petrograd on May 7 the commission said that in the Petropavlovsk and Obukhovsk hospitals there were treated up to April. 1575, 2.R82 persons with cases of partial blindness due to the use of denatured alcohol, wood alcohol, varnish, etc. Of this number twenty-

seven died. In the eye wards of two prominent Petrograd hospitals there were treated during the same period 13S persons with the complete loss of slht or In various stages of blind ness." Efforts to Protect the People AH the medical societies hare during the past few months been hard at work trying: to got people to abstain from drinking these deadly beverages. They are making use of public lec

tures and special literature, which has I

been distributed in large quantities. There is hardly a medical congress or a session of a medical society In Russia at which the question of alcohol poisoning is not on the order of business. As a result of the activity of the medical societies the sale of wood alcohol has already been prohibited in some places. In other places the sale has been regulated. In Kiev, for instance, the governor Issued an order providing for the sale of vnrnish and lacquer only In specified places, which will be undet strict polb a supervision. The storekeepers also arc compelled by the order to make un entry of each sale.
