poisoxors Roo'rr.Ecoixfi. XKW YORK. .Tail. 17. Tin? I'nited States Public Prosecutor in Xew York, Mr \\ illiarn TTayuard, to-day makes a curious mid suggestive announcement. It bad been his privilege, lie says, to supply some 30 hospitals since the advent of Prohibition with whisky at cheap prices. He had been enabled to do this from the vast quantities of illegal liquor which were seined from bootleggers drawing their supplies either from Canada or from Ruin Row. Recently, however, the quality of this liquor had steadily and seriously deteriorated, with the result that the Public Prosecutor lias been forced to cease supplying the hospital patients. Mr Hayward says that redistilled denatured alcohol is being converted into Scotch whisky by the addition of colouring matter and just a dash of creosote which takes the place of the old dash of absinthe that went to the making of cocktails.
A sure and pleasant specific for removing; worms is WADE’S WORM FIGS.'’
