Methyl Alcohol.—This is more often called wood spirit or wood vaphiha. Its odor is unpleasant, and it is not used as beverage. In England it is said that no tax is imposed upon a mixture containing 11 per cent, of methyl alcohol. In this country it is not subject to tax, but costs about $ per gallon. According to Gunther (A, 697), it is less efScient than ethyl alcohol as a preservative, at least for fishes. Hence, when ethyl alcohol can be had free of tax, there is no object in using the methylic variety; even when the former costs its full retail price, unless large quantities were wanted, the saving in cost would hardly compensate for the unpleasant smell of the wood spirit. § 300. Wickersheimer's Liquid.—Several formulae for making tills preservative have been published in this country, as, e. g., in "The Popular Science Monthly," March, 1880, p. 717 ; " The Med- ical Eecord," April 17, 1880, and April 30, 1881, p. 501. In the last named, it is stated that the original formula has been altered, and that Messrs. Poetz & Plohr of Berlin prepare two kinds, one intended for injections, and the other for immersing bodies. Their composition is as follows :—. ImmereioD. Arsenious acid Sodium Potassium siilphate.
