Cause of Ailments That Exist in Many ' ' Stomachs. ; That alcohol can be produced by th chemical combination of its elements, without resource to the fermentation of sugar, has beouknown to chemists since I860, when It wasnrat so prepared b Berthehtp from acetyhum. That sub stance wrs thpn expensive find dlilUuli to obtain, but now that Kmuy be made by simply moistening uiMimi carbide, which in turn is manufactured on a large settle by the electrical com bination of lime and charcoal, this w ill produce a revolution In the alcohol In dustry, and the time Is coming when it will be made by this synthetic process more cheaply than by fermentation and distillation. Journal of Inebriety. A note of alarm regarding patent medicines Is now being sounded by many physicians to the effect flint the alcohol used In their composition is simply a chemical combination, often of a most poisonous description. It is stated that large amounts ot lt,nre not the product of fermentation and distil lation at all, but chemical products f rom such sources as are mentioned above. Still further, we have known of sa- loonlsts, even In so-called flrst-class saloons, who ridicule the demand of their patrons for pure "drinks, and de clare they have on hand what Is far better referring to these chemical combinations. The Issue has lately printed several statements from Bar rels and Bottles, and other high liquor authorities, to the effect that there is practically not a wholesale liquor house In the country but doctors orig inally pure whiskey In Its stock with all manner of cheap compounds, the most of them deleterious to the human stomach.
