BALTIMORE Feb 11 One and possi-bly two wholesale druggists of this citSwill it is said be made defendants ia aprosecution that will cause a sensationnot only in Baltimore but throughout theUnited States and will prove of unusualintertst to oculists

The charge which will in a generalsease be the using of a dangerous adulter-ant in the manufacture of Jamaica

will contain the spook declarationthat by substituting methyl or wool alco-

hol for ethyl or pure alcohol many per-sons have been stricten blind This chargewin doubtless pave the way for damagesuits involving many thousands of dollars

In certain local option towns of Mary-land West Virginia and Pennsylvaaia Ja-maica ginger is used by topers and vic-tims of alcoholism in lieu of whisky orother stimulants It is always easy to se-

cure Jamaica ginger in country towns andit is said that of late its consumption hasgrown to alarming proportions

Jamaica ginger properly manufacturedthat is with pure alcohol is said to bepractically harmless But pure alcoholcosts 245 per gallon The manufacturerIn substituting wood alcohol at a cost of15 cents to SO cents per gallon thus enormously increases his profits

The discovery that the use of wood alco-hol causes total blindness has aroused

profession and the enquiry set onfoot to discover who was responsible forusing the cheap adulterant in the gingerled to piling up proof against two firms ofthis city It is said that the investiga-tors hjTve secured under legal advice thekind of proof that will be acceptedjudge and jury

Dr Herbert Harlan of Baltimore who

ginger drinking has prepared a paper set-ting forth his experience in dealing withseveral persons whose total blindness hasbeen traced to the use of the adulteratedcompound This paper will appear in the

Opthalmic Record and will be accom-panied by an analysis of some of the Ja-maica ginger which it is said was sold toand drunk by several persons who afterward became blind These victims haveengaged counsel to bring suit againstthose charged with having made the dangerous mixture The paper of Dr Harlan-Is as follows

Dr Unrlans PaperIn 1897 Dr A G Thompson reported-

In the Opthalmic Record a case ofblindness due to the drinking of es-

sence of ginger About that time we began to see these cases In Baltimore DrHiram Woods reported six such casesTheir novelty excited a good deal of interest It has been the habit in local op-

tion neighborhoods for a long time forpeople craving alcohol to substitute thevarious alcoholic essences when the ordinary form could not be obtained Andthat cases so striking as complete blind-ness should have escaped notice and pub-lication was unaccountable Such casesmust have only been occurring recently

Ia 1S9S nine cases of blindness anddeath from drinking methyl alcohol werereported The very first on record was thatof Viper which was generally overlookedbelag published In the TAanee MedicleJuae 1377 There is a striking similarityia th symptoms of all these casee andas will be teen later they are the same

I come Dr Sirronson writes me furtherthat 0 later became entirely blind Theginger was made by a wellknown whole-sale drug house of Baltimore

Case 2 N B D aged thirty Ameri-can single of CircJeville W Va came tothe same hospital in April 1900 He gave

I a history of goinj on about six sprees aa year When he could not get whisky

i or brandy he drank essence ofcinnamon peppermint lemon or hot

I month without drinking then he wouldI drink for a week at a time He hadi used tobacco continuosuly Tor seven yearsj by chowing snuffing and smoking

His trouble began May 1S99 On aSaturday he drank bottles of esf sftice of peppermint ard part of a bottleqf essence of lemon The next flay hefelt unnerved sick and stupid and hiseyesight began to grow dim The dimness

I increased and by Wednesday he couldj only distinguish light from darkness Ex

animations showed both nerves to fcej atrophic The fields were small and irreRaJar His vision was 5cc i each eye Hisfield improved materially und the centralvision a little being when be left thehospital on June 6 6cc In tho right eyeand 7cc in the left eye

He brought with him to the hospitalabout half of one of the bottles of pep-permint It was put up by the same firmas the ginger bought in Crisfield

Two DfiitliH in York CountyIn daily paper of September 6 I raw

aa account of the death of two men atFawn Grove York county Pa I wrote toDr B Hawkins of that place in hopesthat he could give me some details Hewrote me a most interesting letter givingan account of the drinking of the symp-toms manifested including blindness inone case and of the death of the two menHe volunteered further the name of themanufacturer of the essence of gingerdrunk It was the same Baltimore firmas in the other cases Later lie obtained

i store Samples in similar bottles and withlike labels were obtained from Harfordcounty and other places

I consulted Messrs Hynson Westcot the wellknown druggists of Baltimore as to the test for methyl alcohol

interested In the matter j ndbad Mr Dunning of their chem-

istry department make an analysis MrHynson submitted an analysis as made byhim

Following is the paper prepared byMessrs Hynson and Dunning

really sad results followingthe drinking of socalled essences of

and Jamaica ginger reported byDr Harlan must startle that experiencedpharmacist and at once create in his minddoubt regarding the quality of the constit-uents used in preparing these compoundssince it must have often come to his

I that they have been used in large-i quantities as stimulants when preparedaccording to the pharmacopoeia withoutapparent injury

This positive knowledge of

i

pharmacist-siof these popular domestic remedies evenwhen taken in much larger quantities thanwas used by the patients referred to quick-ly brings the conclusion that when theyare found to possess toxic properties theyhave been improperly made

Essence of peppermint should be asynonym for the U S P spirit of peppermint a 10 per cent by volume solution ofoil of peppermint in ethylic alcohol whileessence of Jamaica ginger should be the

U tincture ethylic alcohol in every100 c c of which Is dissolved the oleores-

I Inous matter of 200 grams of gingerAs stated by DC Harlan we have at

his request and in the interest of betterand more honorable pharmacy undertaken-to prove In a practical manner First theabsence of sufficient ethylic alcohol in t1

secondly that other products and ingredi-ents than those authorized by the pharma-copoeia were used in their maiHiIcturethirdly that one of the constituents is

or wood alcoholIt is proper just here to say that ac

quaintance with the value of the ingredi-ents entering into the pharmacopoeiapreparations and a knowledge of the pricesat which these commercial products aresold to grocers and country merchantswould prejudice the case In the mind ofany competent business man

M tThrough Ute kiodaets af Dr Hsrlan

and his mends we have been supplied sufftrtent of the ginger product with which toexperiment Not enough of

however was at hand to work uponsatisfactorily yet the small quantity wehad plainly showed It bore the same taintas the ginger differing from the latterhowever in the large amount of waterpresent about 33 nor cent a Quantitypossible in the weak peppermint solutionbut impossible with the ginger and eapsicura preparation-

It Is quite natural we think sus-pect the presence of niethyllc alcoholsince its peculiar toxic effects had beennoticed and because to the mercenarymanufacturer it is the logical substitutefor ethylic alcohol Every other solventof the kind is prohibited by more noticeable physical properties excepting per-haps acetone and the absence of his isproved by the higher boiling point of thesuspected product

To the unltiated the matter of separating and proving organic compoundsmay appear as something to be easily effeted but to the chemist it offers manydifficulties suggests an Immense amountof detail and requires much time whichunfortunately is rarely at the coaimandof the active pharmacist

As a preliminary we prepared as arehere eshib ted two distillates one fromthe U S P tincture and one from anequal quantity of the suspected essenceThe respective residues from these areworthy of notice It will be observed thatthey arc very different lr appearance sthey are in taste Capsicum is evidentlypresent in large quantities In the essence being used to make it hot len asmall proportion of the more expensiveKsgeris used So far however wp havenot made critical examinations of theseresidues

From the distillate of the suspectedessence we then secured by successivecareful fractiouations a product with afixed boiling point By repated expertmeat we found that a mixture representing 73 per cent of wood alcohol and 25per cent ethylic alcohol very nearly resembles the first essence distillate

Since the final product of fractionaldistillation boils steadily at 65 degreesand has the characteristic odor of woodalcohol we unhesitatingly pronounce itto be nothing more nothing less

evidences of its identity are shown-in its ability to rapidly reduce potassiumpermanganate to reduce sliver nitrateafter formates have been formed by theoxidizing effect of potassium dichromateand to Its ability to form methyl salicylate artificial oil of wintergreen whentreated with sulphuric and salicylicacids

While we do not profess to be expertchemists and are not sure our work wouldbe recognized in the law courts yet webelieve the results secured are such as toconvince almost anyone that wood alcohol is present in large Quantities In theessence of ginger examined It must alsobe concluded since tincture ofmude with elhylic alcohol has never pro-duced the toxic and sightdestroying

described by Dr Harlan that methylif alcohol is entirely unfit for admin-istration
