Something About Candies

Poison in candy does more mlschief at thls time oí year than at any other, because it is the season when people are wont to flll children'sstockingsand mouths wlth some kind of candy. The medical offlcers of the New Yoru board of health havefound thatohrome green and yellow, red lead, burnt umber, Prussian blue, rose analine, contal ui uk arsenlc, and vermillion containing mercury, are largely used by candy-makers of that city for coloring tneir goods. These things are all poisonous, and may canse ulceration of the mouth, indigestión and blood-poisoning. There are a lew manufacturers who make pure candles, and it is worth whiletoflnd them out and buy no candies unless the maker Ie known to be of good repute.- Detroit Post, December 22, 1884. I am a first-class confectioner and fancy cake baker, having learned the trade of my father fourteen years ago, and will venture to say that the Post is correct in its statement, bilt will endeavor to prove that we have no impure candies of any sort, and never have had since we began business in this city over thirty years ago, and can assure you that you cao come to onr store or send your children with safety, and obtain nothing but absolutely Pure Candies. Our red coloring is made of cochineal. Our green of Pistachio nuts. Our yellow of the pure vegetable color, while the brown is made of burnt sugar. I manufacture candies daily, keepiag two to three men at it the year around. Any chemist will teil you that cochineal, pistacliio nuts and burnt sugar are perfeqfcly lmrmless colors when applied to sugarp, syrups, etc. Respectfully, A. F. Hangsteiiver.
