necheles of the university of chicago and lixed the covers the blood is placed in a small tube with a little water cleaned of pro teins and distilled in the distilled liquid is placed some potassium per manganate which converts the alcohol into carbon dioxide and water this conversion uses up some of the potas sium permanganate measuring the amount used up by the alcohol gives an accurate estimate of the percentage of alcohol in the blood dr friedmann also reported tests showing that the tissues of the human bodies regardless of whether a person takes alcoholic drinks contain alcohol in about the proportion of 10 parts in 1000000 the chicago experiments indicate that this natural alcohol is produced by the body from sugars a small part of it may be formed in the body by bacteria
