THE Nashville Medical Journal, after
speaking of the chemical and microscopic quail
ties of "California Yeast" makes the following
interesting remarks on the subject:
"The California plant on being placed in a So
luton of sugar in water, performs the same func.
tions as does yeast splits up the sugar into alco-
hol and carhonic acid, and multiplies itself as
long as it has the nourishment it requires The
production of this acid gives the pleasant taste
to the beer, out as the gas very readily escapes,
and the amount of alcohol is but small, the beer
is apt to be sweet and insipid. That it is poison.
GUS we do not believe. Of course it may be bad
so may any beer. 1t may be sour, or it may be
in state of decay, in both of which instances its
use may give rise to unpleasant symptoms. As
for the swelling up in the peoples stomachs,
and bursting them, like rats fed on fried corks,
we regard that mere fable, probably joke of
some country wag repeated in earnest.
ave must not omit to notice the use of this
plant in the kitchen as substitute for sale
ratus, carbonate of soda, and the various 9TH
er means employed for raising bread. Yeast
exercises peculiar action on moist -four or
dough. First, it changes part of it into sugar,
then changes part of that sugar into alcohol
and carbonic acid, which latter not being able to
escape from the glutnous dough, collects in
bubbles and makes it swell, the former escaping
md being dissipated in the oven The heat of
the oven kills the yeast plant, and fermentation

Now if tho above facts are true, for the pur.
