I Hali's Journal of Health.] "This question hascaused a good deal of disrussiun. Alum isused by nianybakers to whiten tlieir bread, enabling them to use an inferior fiour. It is most exterisively employedasa cheapsubstitute for crea m of tartar in the. manufacture of baking powders. It has not b?en coneidered immediately dangerous; althongh if continued it induces dyspeplüa and obstinate constipation. But the fact that many cases of poisoning have occurred from the use of alum, puts the question in a more serious aspect, and prudent people will exercise caution in the selection of baking powders. "Under what conditions tlien. does this substance formerly used only for meohanical or medicinal purposes - becomepoisonous? They are certainly obscure, and at present we can only surmise what they may be. We suspect that the canse exista in th individual poisoned; some peculiarity of the constitution producing a morbid change in the secretions of the stomach, with which the alum cowbineB and forms an active poison; or the secretions m:iy be heulthy but in unusual proponions, and that these less or greater proportions in cotnbination with the alum constitute a poison. "For example, two parts of mercury and two parts of chlorine form calomel, which is not piisonous, but change the proportions of one part mercury and two parts of chlorine, and we get corrosive sublímate, which is a deadly poison. "Then again, we know nothing of the constitutional peculiarities. Why is it that one person can -eat all kinds of green ftuits and vegetables with impunity, while the same course might cost another individual his life? Ona person can handle poison ivy and sumac without beingin the least affected; another is poisoned if he approachea within ten feet of them. Out of a fam ily residing in a malarial district, some of the members will suffer half the year with fever and ague, while the others will enjoy excellent health during the entire year. Foods that are wholesome to some persons are actually poisonous to others. ïhis is especially true of some kinds of ÍUh. There is no safety vn t;iking alum into the stomach, as it is shown to be always injurious, and often dangerous." The Scientiflc American published ín iv recent number a list of alum and ammonia baking powders, which is of t;re:;t value at tnia time. Following is ilm :ist compüed from official reports.
