By JOHN K. BRACHVOGEL, M.E. 



'HE value and significance of a tax-free alcohol have been so widely dis- 

 cussed in the press and periodical literattire of the entire country, that it 

 is unnecessary to emphasize the great importance of the subject, especially 

 to our agricultural and industrial interests. For years we have been far behind 

 the nations of Europe in this regard, and in consequence our literature has been sadly lacking in authorita- 

 tive works covering this phase of industrial activity. This book was designed with the especial purpose of 

 filling this want, and it is the latest and most comprehensive work of its kind which has been published in 

 this country. 



Few in number are those to whom this book would not prove of interest and value. The farmer, the 

 manufacturer, the power -producer, the householder, will all find that denatured alcohol is of such impor- 

 tance to them, that its use and introduction will effect savings and economies which were hitherto impossi- 

 ble of accomplishment.
