60 the Editor of the augusta Chronicle and Sentinel :;
An extract 10 your daily OF Tuesday, signed l.. J.
Roberts, NJ. d. taken from the LaGrange Reporter
contains two such grave errors that cannot refrain
from correcting them particularly many persons who
use rye as substitute for coffee might be frightened
ont of an innocent beverage.
The extract says The grain being burnt, contains
fifty per cent of phosphoric acid" Now. unsclentiic
people would suppose this to mean when pdrched. We
suppose the Doctor intended the ash of the grain What
is the true analysis of rye according to the best
thorities? 1000 pounds produces only 10 pounds of
ash and of this l01, pounds only U.46 of pound is
phosphoric acid not quite half a.pound to 1000
pounds of the grain aud not quite per cent. OF the
ASH instead of upwards of so per cent being not quite
the oneffth Of per cent of the solid grain. Besides
the Doctor fogets that not particle of the earthly
salts s probably held in solution by common weak
decoction of the rye; and if the whole grain swa
lowed there would only be the medium amount OF phos
phorc acid contained in wheat and other cereals, just
about enough to make bone instead OF destroying it,
The effects of rye, or the phosphoric acid in it, on
uterogestaon is equally alacious, aud quite grave
1t the ergot of rye that produces abortion
not the common healthy grain used for coffee It is
long, black sinking grain easily distinguished from
the other and only occurring under certain unfavo:abe
circumstances, The common rye is quite as innocent
as wheat or coffee in this respect.

published the extract, give this al insertion!
