Hall's Journal of Health. "This question has caused a good deal of discussion. Alum is used by many baker, to whiten their bread, enabling en-abling them to use an inferior Hour. It is most extensively employed nt a cheap substitute for cream of tartar 1:1 the manufacture of baking powders. It has not been considered immediately dangerous, although if continued it in- duces dyspepsia ami olistinate constipation. consti-pation. But the fact that many cases of poisoning have occurred from tha use of alum, puts the question in a more serious aspect, and prudent people wiil exercise caution iu the selection of baking powders. "Under what conditions then, does this substance formerly used only for mechanical or medicinal purposes become be-come poisonous; They are certainly obscure, and at present we can only surmise what they may be. We suspect sus-pect that the cause exists in the individual indi-vidual poisoned; some peculiarity ot the con. 1 itution producing a morbid change in the secretions of tho stomach, with which the alum combines aud forms an active poison; or the secretions secre-tions may be healthy but in unusual proportions, aud thai these less or greater proportions in co nbination with the alum constitute a poison. "For example, two parts of mercury and two pans 01 chlorine form calomel, which is not poisonous, but change the proportions lo one part mercury and j two parts of chlorine, and we get cor-', rosive sublimate, which is a deadly j poison. 1 "Then again, we know nothing of the 1 constitutional peculiarities. Why is it I I hat one nerson tan cat all kinds of ! green fruiu and vegetables with impunity, impu-nity, while the same course might cost another individual his lite? One person per-son can handle poison ivy and sumac Without being in the h ;-.st affected; all-other all-other is poisoned if he approaciies to within ten feet of them. Out of a family fam-ily residing in a malarial district, some of the members will suffer half the year J with fever and ague, while the others j will enjoy excellent health during the entire year. Foods that are wholesome ; to some persons are actually poisonous to others. This is especially true of sninfl kind of li-sh- There is no safety in taking alum into the stomach, as it i shown to l.e always injurious, ami ufien dangerous." j The s't'i. uli.l'r A ' -in puo'.:-!o-il in j a recent number a list of alum and am- 1'ionia baking pmvdeis, which is of j great value at this time.
