THE EVENING STAR. WASHI PICKLED LIZARDS TONIC INGREDIENT Dried Turtles Also Used. Samples Submitted for U. S. Approval. Dried fizards and turtles may be des- tined for Chinese medicine ingredients. This came to the attention of the Government todey when some lizards and turtles were found in samples of materials which were submitted by a Chinese company in connection with its request for a permit to use industrial alcohol in manufacture. The “gobgal,” or lizards from the Gobi Desert of China, are supposed to have a particularly potent effect in the medicine. The ones received today were well dried and probably very old. They were trussed up with sticks to keep them in true lizard shape. | A label destined to go on the outside of the lizard remedy bottle carried as part of its inseription, “Rheumatic rem- edy for external use. This medicinal preparation to be used for rheumatism, lumbago and pains. Warm and rub well on affected parts.” In small type farther down on the Iabel, however, is another significant part of the instructions, reading, “‘Dose, one ounce before meals; alcohol, 25 per cent by volume.” | ‘Whether the Government, through | grant the petitioning Chinese merchant | a permit to use industrial alcohol for | making up this medicine remains to be determined through due course of the investigation to follow. It was ex- plained, however, by Dr. W. V. Linder, | head of the technical division of the Bureau of Industrial Alcohol, that many native Chinese remedies are allowed to be manufactured, on the ground that they do not furnish to the general | public a “potable” or drinkable alco- holic beverage. One of the famous Chinese wines, however, known as Ng Ka Py, is on the taboo list of the Gov- ernment as alcoholic beverage, and under law and regulations cannot be either imported or manufactured in this country. Besides lizards and turtles, Peter Valaer, chemist of the laboratory in charge of medicines, said the Chinese resort to such mysterious ingredients in medicines as tiger claws, donkey glands, snake gall and lion's paws. Analysis of many of the things sub-| mitted shows they contain nothing familiar to the pharmacopoeia except alcohol. How a huge snake was found in a half barrel of Chinese wine was recalled as the lore of Chinese medicines was surveyed. The discovery was made in New York, where attendants were stir- ring the wine through a small opening in the cask. The stick hit something ‘The barrel was opened, and G Peter Valacr. chemist in the Bureau of Industrial Alcohol, is shown Holding its Bureau of Industrial Alcohol, will & “gobgai” or Chinese lizard, and a turtle, or tortoise, intended for ingredients in a Chinese medicine. there, coiled up in the bottom, was a found as follows: 1song will explain your secret feeling.” huge python—pickled Tiger hearts and glands are said to | e used extensively in some prepara- | tions, while the heart of a wildcat was | found once.

Unusual claims are made in the ad- vertisements for some preparations, for instance: “Black-leg fox wine results to be found are increase of wisdom and helping kidney trouble.” On the label of another preparation was found the following legend: “We have heard that when heaven and earth are pleased with each other, then all kinds of things grow. When the human body feels well, then the four limbs become strong. For instance, the body of the black fox can be both masculine and feminine, so I bought this animal and used first-class medical material to form medicinal fluids in the juice.

That is their backing and that is their purpose. “I will never vote for the return of the saloon in America and I have said 50 repeatedly. What I will do if elected to the United States Senate is this: I will not accept dictation from this or any other organization. I will vote in the Senate for submission to the States of a repeal resolution in exact con- formity with the Democratic platform. “Under the Constitution of the United States, this is all any Senator or Con- gressman can possibly do. Nothing more. Thereafter, if 36 States vote ‘yes’ (for repeal), the eighteenth amend- ment goes out of the Constitution. If 13 States vote ‘no’ the eighteenth amendment stays in the Constitution. “This is all there is to it, and there is no other method.
