Warning to Liquor Dealers
By Editor
THE following from the Louisville Courier-Journal is, as headed in the paper from which it was clipped, not only a “warning to Liquor Dealers,” but is a warning to all. It would be a good thing for temperance we presume if all liquor dealers were compelled to test their poisonous beverages to the full before ruining others with them. Here is the item:— “Grafton, W. Va., Jan. 8.—Elihu C. Moore, a prominent merchant and liquor dealer of Huttonville, Randolph County, poisoned himself, and died in great agony to-day. Moore had a large quantity of cheap wine which he dosed with dyes to make it resemble whisky. Before selling it he determined to drink some himself, to ascertain the effect. The poison in the dyes killed him in a few hours.”
