Best line of Yarns at Mayes Ss Bart- lett's, '*:*•> The following Is gather«(V fmai an frtlcle in the Cincinnati Enquirer: But 4p»w liquor drinkers have the faintest •' lilea in regard to the extent of the evil <jf adulteration. For instance, more ,i = |jl»an two-thinls of the stuff sold for I. ̂ randy In th{« country is the meanest j||lnd 4f polsen. It Is manufactured , from aa oil of cognac. Dr. C'ox. the |||«elebrated inspector of liquors for Ohio 5|*fter examining some 6f the imported brandies, said that the chemical tests 'Sgave him fusil oil as a basis, with sal- •eid!_ ennner. chloroform, tannic ^iicld, Guinea pepper, and a small per- Meentage of good brandy. The same Mfentlaman. after testing liquor from a • half pipe ef 'splendid Selgrette brandy' Hfound evidence of sulphuric acid, nitric piRcid, nitric ether, prussic acid, Guinea fc pepper, fusil oil and common whisky. || Gin is considered a safe drink by {thousands, who believe that It is the •nly liqnor that escapes adulteration. They are mistaken. In mo*tof the gin •old there will be found oil of vitro!, oil f>f turpentine, oil of almonds, sulphuric ether, and extracts of grains of para­ dise. It is in the manufacture of •rhisky, however, that the adulterators o their finest work. You can purchase oils and essences from which 'whisky •f any age can be produced. This •tyle^if whisky when tested will show balpburic acid, caustic potassa. benzine. DUX vomica and other'poisons. This Is the sort of stuff that bores into tile coatings of the stomach and creates ulcers. In porter you will t'nd opium, hen­ bane, capsicum, cocculus, indicus, cop­ peras, tobacco and sulphuric acid. In beer, alum, opium, nux vomica, green copperas, vitriol, sub-carbonate of pot­ ash and jalop are used. Of course, ale •f this character is dangerous to drink, Cocculus indicus is used largely to give strength to the beer. It is a small berry, very bitter, and of an intoxicat­ ing character. Three grains will pro­ duce nausea and prostration;ten grains wilt throw a strong doer into convul­ sions. Oil ef vitriol Is used to Increase the heating qualities of liquor, Worm-wodd i« used for its bitter and stimulating qualities, green copperas gives porter a frothy 'head,' and the drinker as well, 'C Blacked lime is also to be found in adulterated porter. Very little of any kind Is pure in this eemttry. We import more alleged enampalgne than the charapaigue dis- Iriet produces, consequently we get ^ bogus wine. Maderia is made iiere by extracting oils froin whisky and sub- : , jecting tlieiu to a chemical process, in which sarbou i« the principal agent. In astringent wines you find alum. Brazil woud, oak sawdust, lead and r c*pperits. Sugar of lead and arsenic ; ere also used in wine. In the manurac- ^ ture of one brand of port the washings S of brandy ca«k*, coloring made of eldcr- ;; barriea, log-wood, salt of tarter, green C dragtfn and liuciure ot red eanders are used. In pale sherry, sulphuric acid •f ^russic and aiuui are among the Miariu- less' Ingredient* used to give color and | Ute appearance of age. Probably there is not # eolitnry brewer in New York who will have ry thehardihuvd to claim that be sells , - gottuiue lager.
