    Then Again: When a mysterious killer stalked the men of Bristol

    In 1914, a mysterious illness caused multiple deaths in Bristol, Vermont, linked to wood alcohol sold by local pharmacist Don A. Bisbee. Victims exhibited severe symptoms including blindness and seizures before dying, with authorities tracing the source to illegally dispensed alcohol in a town with no licensed pharmacies under Vermont's 'local option' liquor laws.
