FALSE SCIENcE-Inere is always a
certain danger encountered, as well as
great responsibility incurred. when con-
ductors of the press attempt to popu!arize
scientific matters of medical interest. of
which they happen themselves to be as ig-
norant as their readers: and it were to be
wished that editors would abandon the
absurd and dangerous practice Of publish
ing recipes and rules for medical treat
ment. which ought always 10 be left to
medical men. The Scientific american.
IA very useful periodical if confined to its
proper sphere. has gone out of its way TO
teach the public how to detect bread adul-
tcratcd with alum. and how 10 save the
lives of persons poisoned with oxalc acid;
in both instances being grossly erroneous,
and only adapted 10 do mischief and en-
danger life. 1t gives SO false a test (lime
water) for detecting alum in bread. as that
