CANDY AND PUIsoN.-A paper on "Col-
oreu confectionery" was recently read
before the British Association at Montre-
al, from which is condensed the following
valuable and novel Information
1t appears that for economy's sake.
confectloners. in coloring their candies,
DC, have recourse for their greens. to
Brunswick green, carbonate Of copper, or
arseuate Of copper ; for the yellows. to
chromate OF lead or gambogoe for their
reds, to red lead, vermillion or Gina bar !;
and for their whites, to white lead. These
are only few of the pernicious coloring
agents used. and they are among the
deadlest poisous. The way in which the
poisons are laid on, also deserves pass
ing remark. In some instances, very
thin coating of the colored matter is used !,
go as to spread over large surface ve>
ry small portion of the Material used but
in other cases the very reverse is the fact.
and in one instance was procured from
piece of ornamental table confectionery
not the size of sugar almond quantity
of arseniIe Of copper. sufficient to destroy
the life Of a healthy adult. Confectioners
have no reason to use these poisons. for
there are harmless vegetable colors
enough to answer their purposes.
