    18-5502.  DENATURED ALCOHOL -- REGULATION OF SALE AND TRANSFER. Denatured
alcohol may be sold, given away, or transferred, in this state by any
registered pharmacists, or other person. It shall be unlawful for any person
to sell, give away, or transfer, denatured alcohol, preparations or compounds
thereof, in any quantity, unless the container from which such denatured
alcohol, preparation or compound thereof, is taken and the container in which
it is delivered to the purchaser or transferee, has thereon printed in red ink
the words "Denatured Alcohol," "Caution," "Poison," the name and address of
the vendor or transferor, the percentage strength of grain alcohol in the
contents of the container, the names of at least two readily obtainable
antidotes, and the words "must not be used externally or internally," and the
following caution as required by the United States government:
    "Completely denatured alcohol is a violent poison. It can not be applied
externally to human or animal tissue without seriously injurious results. It
can not be taken internally without inducing blindness and general physical
decay, ultimately resulting in death."
    Provided nothing herein contained shall prohibit the transfer of denatured
alcohol, preparation or compound thereof, direct from a container, labeled as
above provided, to the radiator of any motor vehicle for anti-freeze purposes.
