Cartoon dramatizing the effects of wood alcohol (methanol)

The Death figure holds a bottle of wood alcohol in its right hand while leaning on its scythe on the left arm. In the background, there is a graveyard filled with burials, with mounded hummocks of earth capped by named cross-shaped grave markers. Death's scythe has cut some grass (presumably to ease grave digging) and on the grass are the words "30 cases of blindness" and "100 deaths." (Source: The News Letter. New York: National Committee for the Prevention of Blindness, 1920.)
