Denatured Alcohol in 

 Solid Form 



Cleveland Special Dispatch — September — A well- 

 known Wheeling, West Virginia, chemist has succeeded 

 in producing chunks of denatured alcohol in crystal 

 form, by means of a small infusion of certain acids, 

 very closely resembling physiologically the effects of 

 ethyl alcohol distilled from sawdust. The method 

 employed and the results obtained are somewhat simi- 

 lar to the crystallizing of rock candy or that of sac- 

 charine, containing as it does 350 times the sweetening 

 strength of cane sugar, so this alkaloidal crystallized 

 alcohol contains many times the strength of the ordi- 

 nary denatured fluid alcohol. They will yield 194-proof 

 denatured alcohol, with a greater heating and cooking 

 power for stoves than gasoline, and it is absolutely 

 non-explosive. 



A sample can containing 50 solid cubes, a 

 stove and the secret formula showing how simple 

 it can be made at home, will be mailed to you, 

 postpaid, on receipt of $5.00, or express C. O. D.
