Editor Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel:
An extract in your daily Of Tuesday, signed L. J.
Roberts, NJ. D., taken from the LaGrange Reporter,
contains two such grave errors that can not re.
frain from correcting them, particularly as many
persons VINO use rye as substitute for coffee, may
be frightened out Of an innocent beverage
The extract says: :" The grain being burnt, con-
tains fifty per cent of phosphoric acid" Now, un
scientific people would suppose this to mean when
parched. We suppose the Doctor intended the ash
of the grain. What is the true analysis Of rye &C
cording to the best authorities? LOCO pounds pro-
duces only l01 pounds of ash; and of this 10A lbs
only GAG Of pound is phosphoric acid; not quite
quite per cent. Of the ash, instead Of upwards of
90 per cent, being not quite the one-fifth of per
cent. of the solid grain. Besides the Doctor for
gets tat not particle of the earthly salts is prob
ably held in solution by common weak decoction
Of the rye; and If the whole grain was swallowed.
there would only be the medium amount of phos-
phofic acid contained in wheat and other cereals,
just about enough to make bone instead of destroy.
ing it.
The effects Of rye. or the phosphoric acid in it, on
utero CESSATION, is equally fallacious, and quite as
grave 1t is the ergot of rye that produces
abortion, not the common healthy grain used for
coffee. 1t is long, black, Sinking grain, easily
distinguished from the other, and only occurring
under certain unfavorable circumstances The com
mon rye is quite as innocent as wheat or coffee in
this respect
Will the papers 1--WE have seen it in several which
published the extract, give this an insertion?
